I love TV so much — just listed my own top 10 of the 21st century. The bodies of AMAZING shows litter the ground, and my thoughts will change 3 minutes from now, filling me with regret. Best part of the NYTimes package: Who top TV writers & other notables voted for: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"Even the more progressive version of American history can leave Native people out. "In that version, the founding fathers may have been deeply flawed, but subsequent generations fought for freedom and liberty and gradually created a more perfect democracy." - Rebecca Nagle

My reckless #Lanterns speculation: - Hal's still alive in 2026, working with Sinestro - John becomes a Red Lantern thanks to his rage - Laura Linney's not a Guardian Top murder suspects: - Jason Ritter (motivation: revenge) - The grandson-turned-football-player - John's parents

My TV thriller pilot NET ASSESSMENT just made the quarterfinals of @networkisa.bsky.social's Table Read My Screenplay! It's a story about AI vs. the truth in a battle to make America the good guys again. Excited to see it advance here and to Final Draft Big Break's quarterfinals, what's next? 🤩

Some news: my political thriller pilot NET ASSESSMENT is a Quarterfinalist in @finaldraftinc.bsky.social's Big Break! It's a story about an ex-CIA officer using a black ops Pentagon AI to make America "the good guys" around the world again, burying reality along the way. #screenwriting

The good news about the Internet becoming so unusable is that I’ve now been driven to actually making phone calls (successful maybe 50% of the time) and going places in person (very successful) to get accurate information

If Nick Bilton's pivot to run 60 Minutes means he doesn't have time for his Hawaiian mafia movie w/ The Rock & Scorsese, hit me up! My uncle was in the Hawaiian mob & I wrote a script inspired by the real history. (Or if anyone else wants to read, get in my DMs!)

Flying to Chicago Friday because I got into the 2026 DAF x The Onion Writing Workshop. I love topical comedy — sketch writing, late-night coverage at LateNighter, now this. Building something in journalism or screenwriting that could use that perspective? Keep me in mind.
The front page of the print newspaper version of the Onion, with lead headline "ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks."
