Hi. I’m Eric. Writer of the medium formerly known as television. My current project is an audio drama for Audible (non-IP, based on an original idea of mine), set to be released sometime in the very near future. My next project after that is…who knows! Will linear time even continue exist anymore!?!
Turns out the secret ingredient to making democracy stick is…
…simply making it more lucrative to be a former president than a current one

They…can’t handle the truth
Fox News is mad that Jack Nicholson's character was portrayed as the bad guy in "A Few Good Men," citing it as the start of the downfall of "masculinity" in America.
"They villified him! Right there's where Hollywood started this."
"Now there's too few good men! That's the problem!"

Of course this will get but a tiny fraction of the original coverage.
And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.
In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Our first P-Day ep was also our first real break in format. Instead of covering a single fictional potus, we went through 45 years of SNL history to create a SWEET 16 TOURNAMENT BRACKET to find the best presidential impersonator in the show's history.... and then Lorne hired James Austin Johnson

Happy Presidents Day to all who celebrate! No new episode today, as we solemnly observe this most sacred of days (praying, fasting, atoning, etc.)
But might we suggest some gems from our catalog?

New sport, or someone in Italy didn’t get their venue ready in time?
For the first time at the Olympics, athletes will race uphill wearing either climbing skins over their skis or just their stiff boots, then barrel down an ungroomed course.

look, all I’m saying is that it’d be a little more interesting to watch the Olympics if the losers weren’t allowed back into their home countries

my new pet theory:
there used to be a natural divide between old money and new money, and things started getting really, really bad when they realized they were on the same side

I'm genuinely curious about this -- does anyone have any data that links the price of crypto to headline-making bitcoin ransoms? Like, does reading about how kidnappers and hospital hackers deal exclusively in BTC make crypto bros want to buy more? or sell more? or take a shower at least?

Uh-oh, just got an email about changes to Starbucks reward program. Considering Sbux is desperate to turn their financials around, its either—
A) actually changing for the better, to better reward loyal customers and encourage more visits
Or
B) who are we kidding, it’s definitely not that

I see the new California Post is making a full court press at local newsstands, and I guess it makes sense to appeal to a Cali audience with some awards drama… but this is the page 1 “scandal” they’re hoping to move papers with? Of all the “splits” in Hollywood?

i dunno, at first I thought the Crichton estate lawsuit against THE PITT producers for "unauthorized adaption" was a bit of a stretch, but seeing the new Dr. Vela C. Raptor in season two is starting to raise questions...
