Heartbreaking and brilliant. Josh O’Connor is magnetic, Paul Mescal delivers

Well, this doesn't exactly suck...

My darkly comedic crime drama, "The Sad and Tawdry Story of Seamus Lynch," goes two rounds in Austin.

Congrats to the other second rounders and big ups to those who advanced past that.

Onward! #scriptsky

So, I’m inferring that George Will didn’t need a college degree. Other than his PhD from Princeton, or his master’s from Oxford, not to mention his bachelor’s from Trinity.

But he surely sent his kids to trade schools….

What’s that?

Here's Sollazzo in the Luca Brasi assassination scene. The visual cues are basically the same.

(Shot by Gordon Willis, you know the director)

And... apparently I've been smacked in the face with a little insta-karma, @manmademoon.bsky.social

Serves me right, I guess

Seems legit.

It definitely makes sense that NY DMV would outsource their enforcement efforts to the Republic of Congo.

When Area Idiot Grifter babbles a thing with a timeline more than a single news cycle out, and you print it unquestioningly, not sure "asking the hard questions" should be your slogan, @cnn.com

Yes, it's *definitely* jitters about a candidate who would like to raise the top marginal rate in NYC ($1M+) by [checks notes] 2%, that's softening the lux housing market in NYC and not *anything* else.

The last few pieces from each reporter of that article...

what the fuck is this face? This is a "grampa doesn't understand the rules to the shitty boardgame you're about to play but also forgot his readers" face.

Oh, and the ear that got shot off is scar free...

The ratio here is getting pretty gnarly.

Dude comes to troll, doesn't get engagement so writes about how this place is boring 'cause trolls don't get engagement...

Super productive time at the #TribecaFilmFestival Storytelling Summit last week.

So many great panels, some cool films, and, more importantly, I met a bunch of smart people. Plus I got to hang out with @shanadarabie.bsky.social and finally meet @akoukouliborn.bsky.social in person.

From a mailing list I somehow got on, presented without comment:

Empower governors to go out and respond to emergency situations, you say?

Is that only for situations where you didn’t directly cause the emergency?

Hmmm. And pretty much the same day they announce the redesign of the Brawny Man...

Coincidence? I think not.

Ha! This was my lunch…

(I had forgotten about a call when I made it, so I only had a few warm bites. Bummer)

At least one of the two likes is a troll like…

But what if the US sweetens the pot by [checks notes] dismantling our food inspection apparatus, so the beef will include both hormones and probably bacteria/disease?

Nick Cave is a genius. The Bad Seeds are the best band currently going.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Interesting.

Also this bummer of a nugget from Mr 13d Chess moves….

He's such a fucking idiot.

First chart shows birthrates in the US since 1950, second chart infant mortality rates in the same period.

They basically have the same curve. As fewer babies die at birth/early childhood, you don't need to crank as many out to maintain population growth.

Price does come up, but it not listed as a barrier. However, this is an international survey, so pricing might be different in different countries...
