Let’s give this one a try. I’m a writer and a director and engage in a bunch of comedy and comedy-adjacent endeavors.
I legitimately feel bad for the little kids getting thrown into the very public wood chipper of discourse around the Harry Potter show. The adults who signed on can go fuck themselves, but these 10 year olds being forever linked to one of the world’s most famous bigots is really sad.
moulton is a good example of someone who fucked up his career because he misread 2024. many such cases.
In 2024, Moulton said he didn't want his daughters, then 3 and 6, to be "run over on the playing by a formerly male athlete." the in-town soccer league they would have been eligible to play in WAS COED AT THE TIME. Oh, and he gave an absolute loser non-apology about it.
Oh hey, so... next year, we're taking Denouement on a tour of the UK! A killer cast improvising the denouement* of a killer mystery across seven killer UK cities! Tix on sale Friday! More info here! laservisionproductions.com/denouement *see why the show is called that?
Normally, this would make me go "he must be the dumbest asshole on the planet." But in this case, he's just a liar; the poster boy for the sociopathy of the modern, weak conservatives, where they wish nothing but pain on everyone else and then turn into whimpering puddles when it happens to them.
Former Kanye West aide Milo Yiannopoulos walks back his support for Trump after his ICE arrest: "If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would have never gotten involved in supporting Trump in the first place"
He did, of course, wish it on everyone.
No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Sometimes in the newest Spider-man movie, Peter Parker suddenly starts talking exactly like Columbo.
The best way to save the American film & TV industry is Medicare for All. As long as employers have to pay healthcare, productions will go countries where the government covers it instead.
I crunched the numbers and we’re good on Hunter Biden content.
They just don't make video games where you're a guy fighting your way through a bracket of racial stereotypes like they used to.
"As Democrats, we are LASER-FOCUSED on the issues that matter to most Americans. First and foremost: which Twitch streamers are ok to campaign with."
My reaction to arguments like this is OK, show me the great AI art then. Because if it was unleashing all this creativity then you wouldn’t even need to make the argument
Now convinced that Karen Bass just straight up does not want to be mayor any more.
Karen Bass reelection update: the mayor has come out as anti-taco stand. In Los Angeles.
Genuinely curious: if you are against-- or uncomfortable with-- #AbolishICE messaging, what is your proposal about what is to be done with ICE going forward?
The videos can't capture the scope of what's happening. ICE is out of control. ICE accosted a man on his way to a medical appointment, handcuffed him, and forced him back to his house. Agents conducted a warrantless invasion of his home, where his 3 minor US citizen kids lived
Tomorrow we start shooting this on a truly insane schedule with a bunch of truly, TRULY talented people. Could not be more excited.
I’m about to start crowdfunding for a film I would like to make that’s an improvised comedy à la Christopher Guest/ Mike Leigh. I’m gonna be mildly annoying about it but only because I’m extremely excited about it and unfortunately Hollywood is dead seedandspark.com/fund/treasur...
Man remember when people in various media outlets were insisting that “dimes square” was real and an influential art scene and insisting there was a hip happening and growing movement of right wing contrarian artists and thinkers poof all gone all fake and the people pushing it silently moved on
I think an underappreciated aspect of why so many people hate AI is that the people who boost it are, almost without exception, such insufferably garbage human beings.
“I need AI to help ‘improve’ my relationships” is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard. Everyone needs to grow the fuck up and shun all tech cultists out of society.
OK but I really REALLY don’t want this about.fb.com/news/2026/08...
Being a proud, self-identifying moderate is such a weird thing, man. "We want the conditions that created the current neo-fascist break down of the liberal order to exist... FOREVER!"
The algorithm REALLY thinks that I want to see ads where Pete Holmes tries to sell me pseudoscience "brain booster" juice.
Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”
Just thinkin' about the best film ever made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_M...
