My writing secret? PANIC. Sheer panic. I just let the panic build until my skin crawls with anxiety and the script shoots out of my fingers like lightning.

Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes.
Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect.
We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

RIP Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with as a little kid, the kind of roguish hero you wish would find his way into your own life. In the words of Willow, “You are great!!!”

Matlock is the spiritual successor to Suits. It’s got the same feel and similar in-world stakes with different personal stakes. I’m really really loving it!

I’m old enough to remember like 1700 hours of congressional hearings because Hillary Clinton used an unsecured email to ask her assistant to split a creme brûlée
NEW: White House requested a list of CIA employees as part of efforts to shrink the federal government. The list, which included partial names, was sent in an unclassified email. David Sanger and I report: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...
C.I.A. Sends White House an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees (Gift Article)
The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.
