I continue to be devastated by the death of my dear friend Jill Sobule. I’m in shock. I can’t accept it. I have 10,000 pictures of us. But here we are getting the James Randi award.

Loved today’s protest in downtown LA.

Just watched The Girl with the Needle directed by Magnus van Horn. Omg. Hard to watch but beautifully made. A sad, painful brilliant film.

Getting ready to do The View

Saw Chris Hayes last night in L.A. at the Writers Guild Theater. He was fantastic. I’m so inspired by him. ☺️ What a lovely night. Today I begin his book: The Siren’s Call. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Watched The Apprentice. Sebastian Stan & Jeremy Strong are great & deserving of their Oscar noms. It was unfairly hard to get this film released. Watch it! But… the movie is not nearly hard enough on Trump. I was up most of the night afterwards, still in a fear spiral. 🌀

In Spokane at Frank’s Diner getting breakfast & having a heavy heart contemplating Trumps insanity & what could be in store… ugh

Saw Dina Martina last night at Dynasty Typewriter. I’m still laughing. My god she is a genius.

Great! Here’s my sunrise in Los Angeles this morning at Griffith Park…

My upside down Christmas tree. Up early reading on Christmas morning 🎄❤️

For 15 yrs we’ve had GoodWill Christmas. You spend up to $25 per person (usually 2 or 3 things) It can be genuinely great things or jokey or anything. Mostly so we can open stuff. Then on the 26th we take back what people don’t want. Fun!! Here’s Mulan today…

Today’s reading: North Woods by Daniel Mason - it’s truly lovely, painful, true… reading it with Maria Semple & her gang of readers. 🤓 @alexanderchee.bsky.social @jesswalter.bsky.social @mariasemple.bsky.social

Groundling Alum Holiday Party at my place last night. What joy we enjoyed! What laughs! How lucky am I to know these funny, lovely people.💕

Waiting at LAX to fly to Spokane. Fogged in! 2 1/2 hours late. Ugh. BUT. Reading Jane Eyre. So… I’m actually in Heaven.🥰 @frizzlit.bsky.social

Here’s NY Magazine’s cover (1 of 5) celebrating SNL 50. I’m sitting next to John Mulaney on the sofa under David Spade and his flexed pecs. It was a really fun shoot! So glad to be amongst this fabulous group. Photographer David LaChapelle @nymag.com

Phoenix Thanksgiving this year with daughter Mulan, her friend Natalie, husband Michael & me in the parking lot after eating at Sapiens Paleo Kitchen (!!!) a lovely night. Thankful for BlueSky. Watching Dancing with the Stars, while stuffed with turkey. What could be better?
