On the same week that the fungus TR-4 hit Ecuador, my comedy screenplay, Banana, made the semifinals of the Austin Film Festival. Logline: When a woman struggling with miscarriages discovers she can communicate with a banana, she travels to Ecuador to save the banana's children from a deadly fungus.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I think we should have a drinking game - drink every time Hegseth screws up. He can play, too.

Are we the only ones who do this (to prevent blanket stealing)?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Any theatres ready to take on the challenge of Shakespeare, Inc., my choose-your-own-adventure Shakespeare comedy? I can DM a link to the workshop production we did last year. Here's a trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhnL... And an interactive teaser: player.stornaway.io/watch/376498d5.

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Do I have any contacts with connections to high school or junior high drama or English teachers in the Los Angeles area, especially the westside?

Enjoying the shit out of Susan Seidelman's memoir "Desperately Seeking Something" - about her amazing career making movies. It's quite inspiring. Listening to the audiobook with my wife and filmmaking partner, Tammy Caplan. I sent Susan a script back in 2008 and she was super nice and supportive.

Can I have a few more writer followers to keep us with the recent avalanche of internet strippers who've discovered me?

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone finds rewarding artistic work in 2025! Keep reinventing yourself, learning new things, spend time with people you love, have a sense of humor, and don't stress about things that are out of your control. I'm obviously talking to myself with all of this.

I'm amazed to see that some very successful people actually don't have that many followers here yet, so I want to take the opportunity to tell @markduplass.bsky.social and @jayduplass.bsky.social how much of an inspiration they've been to me and my career. "The cavalry isn't coming" is my mantra.

My mother has a talking parakeet. Sometimes it actually sounds smart, like it understands what it's saying. But then other times, it is clear it doesn't have a clue, and is just parroting back. I feel the EXACT same way about Chat GPT.

Had a great time in New York. Got to see the interactive Dungeons and Dragons off-Broadway show, The Twenty Sided Tavern. It's a ton of fun. Like my interactive play, Shakespeare, Inc., audience decisions control many aspects of the performance. Worth checking out and very kid-friendly.

I've switched from watching CNN to The Daily Show during breakfast and it's a much better way to start the day with basically the same information.

Had a great meeting about my interactive "choose your own adventure" Shakespeare play tonight. Also thinking about a documentary film that I can only do in the world of Trump. Do not despair, be kind to everyone and keeping doing your art!
