It shows. One of the show’s most damaged characters offers its greatest cri de coeur. Brilliant. #SPN

Asked @curtisisbooger.bsky.social if after all this time, he can detach and just enjoy the piece. “Yes, but mostly what I’m thinking is how well written these scenes were and what a joy it was to do this with Rob.” #SPN

Finally decided to watch my way through #Supernatural, and @curtiisbooger.bsky.social asked if I would watch his big episode, “Don’t Call Me Shurley” with him when I got to it. He hasn’t seen it since it aired.

My New Year’s present to myself was an in-home boxing set up. I’m an absolute beginner, but I’ve really been enjoying it so far.
2026 is a good year for punching things.

I only learned this term yesterday. AWFUL: affluent white female urban liberal. Aw, MAGA gave us a puerile nickname! Are there t-shirts?

They’re affluent, white, female, urban liberals—and the murder of Renee Nicole Good will politicize millions of them.

My beloved Mini Cooper, Elton, is finally an official New York resident.
No, I absolutely did not ask for my new license plate to be “6767”, it was randomly assigned. I’m guessing it either makes me super hip with the youths or a complete dickhead. Maybe both?

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you
