Oh wow, it's the 10-year anniversary of the time I went to Snoop Dogg's compound and interviewed him about the show MARY+JANE and got a literal contact high equivalent to a toke on the joint he did offer me at the start of the interview. (I declined the toke, but it made literally no difference.)

My determination to never sound like the Boomer diaper babies who shat on the TNG/DS9/VOY era of Trek is why I say that if the new Trek shows aren’t for you, just move on. TOS is not the beginning and end of what Trek is “supposed to be” nor should it be

It's really quite horrifying how much the current state of the internet makes sense when you consider how many social media platforms these days financially reward *any* kind of mild to massive outrage, because outrage = engagement.

Dan is correct as he so often is, but I'm just taking this opportunity to note that this was just a really rough Emmys season for limited series as a whole. Sad DEATH BY LIGHTNING didn't fare better awards-wise.

Gotta say, it's pretty satisfying to brainstorm bitchy replies to a former colleague who ghosted you after you were laid off and is now pitching you on interviews regarding the AI-generated movie he's producing. Maybe one day I'll actually reply to him. If I can find the time.

From the Brontes to 'communist gay wish fulfillment,' writers taking control of their own work is having a(nother) moment. And we like it that way.

#StarTrek question I'm annoyed I don't know off the top of my head: Are there any moments following the release of FIRST CONTACT that reference the TNG crew being around for Zephram Cochrane's first flight? (Similar to Nog saying "Doesn't this Gabriel Bell human look just like Captain Sisko?")

rip annie dillard

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

A nice thing: Vince Gilligan won his first Emmy for writing last night because BREAKING BAD's sole writing Emmy was for "Ozymandius," which he surely had a huge hand in shaping but is solely credited to Moira Walley-Beckett. Matthew Weiner would never. DID never, in fact. Vince truly is the best.

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.
