Hello, world. Something to show you. A teaser trailer for The Rash, a script I wrote this year for Onset Creative & Nicole Shanahan. The feature film is now in the financing phase. Interested investors may contact me by X DM for more info. Enjoy. I think you'll get the picture.

Mr @elonmusk has invited the world to abuse him verbally on his own property. That’s my definition of a generous and gracious host

Tulsi Gabbard just went from being secretly followed around airports this summer by dog teams and undercover agents (research it) to becoming the Director of National Intelligence. This doesn't even happen in the movies. We were living under tyranny.

Five days ago America didn't even know who the real president was. Now there's practically a livestream from the Oval Office & President Trump seems to be at his desk from 7 am to 2:30 am every day signing documents and chatting with anyone who drops by. I'm all for it.

Once again I find that I'm among the five or six people on a packed plane who care to look out the window at views unavailable to humankind for almost all of our history on earth

A photo I snapped of JD Vance last fall at a bouncy castle in Williamsport, PA as he unwound with his family before giving a speech in an adjacent gym. I thought you might like to see it.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton calls for social platforms like X to censor and monitor content, warning that if they don’t, “we lose total control.”

Zelensky was put up to that, I'd say. His bit about the "ocean" protecting us, but perhaps not forever, and how we'll "feel" soon (bad, he implied, very bad) was quite clearly a threat. But from whom or what? Very dark stuff that has not been properly remarked upon.

Melania looks like she will personally oversee the final judgments of those who fucked with her, possibly from the deck of a yacht and accompanied by her designer

Holy shit the American working class just legally overthrew a corrupt pseudo-aristocracy supported by the greatest, richest propaganda machine in history

Someone in showbiz told me it was a little scary what's happened to Kimmel and Colbert and I said actually it's heartening: It means Hollywood is back in the business of pleasing the audience and making money instead of this weird political virtue op they've been running.
