Shoutout to when you realized Jurassic Park is too controversial to be made today because a major plot point (*spoiler!*) hinges on Transgender Dinosaurs.

What blows me away about racists is that they think USA should be whites-only. Let me say it again USA IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. THAT IS HOW IT WORKS, HOW IT'S ALWAYS WORKED. People of all colors and creeds, coming here to make community.

Be open to everyday grace and joy. My hairstylist today is a yoga instructor and studying anatomy. The sheer happiness she had sharing what she’s learning brings joy to everyone. #everydaygrace

Rewatching ‘House’. Great show. But, they never did follow up on the crushing medical bills for all of these interventions House and his team devised. One kid had seven different diagnoses ending with direct interferon injection to his brain that would total in the millions.

As someone with a dairy allergy, I’m always looking for a treat that won’t bite back. Sometimes vegan cookies are great. And sometimes they are so so sooo mid.

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,

A truly extraordinary thing happened recently. 14 years ago I received an email from a person who worked on a music video for my band back in 1998. He was looking for a copy, found my info on the web and decided to roll the dice.

It’s hard to dress a kid when it’s 23deg F outside and it’ll climb to 51deg by 1pm.
Yeah, yeah, I know..layers. But it’s still weird.

Writing friends, a question. I’ve been writing in some form most of my life (I’m over 40), and recently have been developing more personal writing. I’ve noticed I have different ‘voices’ depending on the medium.

Hey everyone, I've started a substack for my silly ideas and observations. Check out my NYC Producer's Log adventure, now with pictures! I'm still figuring out how to balance long-form and short-form content on threads/bluesky and now substack. At least the ride will be fun!

Next casualty of AI video: Movie Trailers. We just spent time picking through an ‘official 2025 trailers’ search on YouTube to find the real ones. The fakes were hilarious, but it made any channel suspect that wasn’t an official studio.

The days between Xmas and New Year’s are perfect for ‘Pride & Prejudice’, the 1994 version, of course.
It is most pleasing. Don’t you think?

Being Dad at the Mall with kid. The music in clothing stores is pulverizing. When I hear 90’s hits, I’m the target market…. But there is no Dee-Lite playing in this store, so I am just a friendly benign stump, aka Dad. ✌️
