Don’t be a piece of shit, or don’t date songwriters. You really gotta pick one.

A writer in LA is like an old-timey door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman, only you have to pitch your way thru everyone in the house, including the dog, and no one’s ever home. And you have to make the vacuums.
Eventually, months later, they let you know they’ve decided to stick with a broom.

“Kryptonite doesn’t hurt Superman. His body, on a subatomic level, recognizes the rock. It knows what it is, and that he belongs there, and it understands that he will never be there again. What brings him to his knees isn’t pain, it’s the sadness of knowing he can never go home.” -Don Draper

I like the therapy seasons that are like a grab bag, after a week when not much is going on. “Things are okay. Pretty good… I forgot to workout yesterday. Also, I thought about this toy I had when I was 9… Oh, I got sad about a squirrel? Should I- Do you want me to talk about that?”

Literally begging people to stop saying “one hundred percent.” It’s a plague. Maybe even just change the percentage? To mix it up a little? Yes it’s probably weird that this bothers me.

Please, please, please stop using AI for bits and jokes. It’s so dumb. We all know it’s bad at doing everything, there’s gotta be a better way of making that tired point that doesn’t burn hundreds of gallons of water and energy. You’re (probably) better than this!

There should be a time in the group chat where one person is like, “Okay guys, great work all around, but we’re shutting it down for a bit. See you all tomorrow.” Otherwise it never ends. Are we going all night?! Someone’s gotta step in!!

There’s a coffee shop in Burbank called “Romancing the Bean” which sounds gross and doesn’t even rhyme and it kills me that they didn’t call it “Romancing the Scone” and it bothers me every time I walk by.

I was the first guy to say "Hoppy Easter." That was me. That's why I'm drunk on a yacht and you're Joe PunchClock down at the Shit Factory.

My dog’s track record for identifying actual threats and then alerting me to them via barking is TERRIBLE. All of her instincts are wrong! At this point, it’s embarrassing. She’s like 0-550,000.

Watched a Twilight Zone about a newspaper reporter who interviews a mysteriously young-looking actress who turns out to be Cleopatra. So unrealistic!! No one makes a living as a newspaper reporter.

Daredevil: Born Again is great but I’m not sure the threat of an insane madman controlling ONE city packs quite the punch it once did.
