It's 32 years from the night I walked into that café and first saw her. I’ve been thinking about the phrase of “losing” someone. It’s fitting. Sometimes I feel like we were walking down the street together, and suddenly, she was gone. Where did her laugh go? Surely, it must exist somewhere. ❤️

Yes, we’ve totally wrecked the planet and screwed up the climate, but here’s the bright side: I was able to put laundry out to dry last night at 10:30PM. It was 90° f. Perfectly dry this morning!

When I’m standing in line at the grocery store, I totally judge people by the contents of their shopping carts. I’m the lowest.

Unbelievably, today, June 4, is 19 years(!) since first day of production on "How To Lose Friends & Alienate People" with Simon Pegg & Kirsten Dunst. This picture taken moments before rolling camera on the first take of my debut as a feature director.

WHEN LARRY MET WEIDE This Variety article was mostly cribbed from a recent NY Times piece about #LarryDavid's 1983 script "Prognosis Negative" that would serve as the catalyst for us meeting, and eventually joining forces on #CurbYourEnthusiasm.

A great Sunday night at Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood, with my two favorite contemp. jazz singers. Stacey Kent (next to me) performing, Kat Edmonson as my guest. Also pictured, Jim Tomlinson -- Kent's songwriter/arranger/husband. Waiting for years for Kent to play L.A. What great company!

Stephen Miller in 2024. Another Republican Tweet, aging like fine wine, turned to vinegar. Thank you for your service, Stevie. Can't wait for you to choke on your own bile, while facing upward, you ghoul.

Today (Feb. 18) is Linda's 4th birthday in absentia. Fortunately, she loved me so well when she was here, that I can still feel it. 3+ years after her departure, thoughts of her are more likely to bring a smile than tears. But man, what I would give to just hold her again.❤️❤️❤️ lovinglinda.bsky.social

ABIDE-ING MY TIME. Saturday's opening reception at Santa Barbara's Tamsen Gallery for the photo exhibit by my pal Jeff Bridges, who has been documenting behind-the-scenes moments on his film sets for decades, shooting panoramic images with his Widelux camera. Great night. Great exhibit. Great Dude!

Linda and our first "child," Butch. March, 2007. Linda was rarely without a book in her hands and a cat in her lap. I just noticed what she was reading. Always ahead of her time.

28 years ago tonight, New Year's Eve, 1997/98, I had a lot to drink and asked Linda Bates to marry me. Apparently, she said yes, because in July of '98, we went through with it. Best decision I ever made. Christmas Day, 2022, she left this world. But the love remains undiminished. xo

I was so pleased to be an early guest of my friend Phil Rosenthal at the opening of his fantastic new L.A. diner, Max and Helen's on Larchmont. This is genuine Old School diner food. So good, you'll plotz. Phil was so hungry, he crashed my chocolate malted! Please, would somebody feed Phil??

In honor of today being the 103rd anniversary of the birth of my friend Kurt Vonnegut, I am posting this previously unpublished photo of the author in Cedar Falls, Iowa, taken by Vonnegut scholar and friend Jerry Klinkowitz in 1977. I love this photo.

Dear fellow AntiFa members (secret handshake): In the face of the government shut-down, do you think our direct deposits of the Soros payments will be delayed? Also, with Trump appointing Bigsinano CEO of IRS, can we still write off dry cleaning bills for our black terrorist outfits?

Today, I got both my flu shot and my Covid booster. I asked the nurse practitioner if she could tattoo "F*ck Trump" over one, and "F*ck RFK, Jr." over the other. She softly shook her head and said, "Don't get me started."

I just re-watched "It Happened One Night" on tcmtv.bsky.social‬. Just possibly a perfect movie. Who would have guessed that the "first" rom-com would remain one of the very best, setting the standard for everything that's followed for the next 90 years?

Some people think that if just one person had bought a painting from a young Adolf Hitler, history might have changed. I often wonder what would have happened if there were just one girl in high school or college who hadn’t rejected Stephen Miller.
