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/...

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

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.

Sharing ideas to protect the press and make our media ecosystem better at the @spj-posts.bsky.social L.A. Press Freedom Summit. Can we fight for access and make journalism that grabs people and makes them excited, engaged, and ready to care? I still believe we can.

Looking back through my photos to when I saw John Cena on a fan event ahead of WrestleMania 19. I never loved another version of his character more than his early heel Word Life gimmick, but he's always given his all to be a consummate performer, and I've got to salute that. 🫡
