One of the most talented, unique, beautiful humans ever born has left this earth. Not sure why death felt like it had to take one of the truly good ones when there's so much garbage to be taken out. Her gorgeous voice & warm spirit will live on. #RIPDolly deadline.com/2026/08/doll...

If anyone missed this little piece of my heart when it aired on Prime you can now watch it on Netflix. I've worked on a lot of shows, but The Tick remains my true favorite. It's the perfect combination of joy and weirdness. www.netflix.com/browse?jbv=8...

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

Creatives starve and struggle to pay bills. The same creatives whose talent this studio conglomerate was built on. If you don't think there's a problem with wealth disparity in this country you're either a fool, willfully ignorant or like having the jackboot of corporate America on your throat.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
