The vet told my dad on the phone (??) that his dog had to be put down and he’d come to his house and do it. My dad dug the dog’s grave AND LET THE DOG WATCH. Then the vet came and checked the dog and said it was a false alarm. Oops! Dog’s fine! Everything about this is insane.
I’m sorry but this strike has gone on too long. I’m done with this industry. Just sent “fuck you” emails to all my reps and every exec I’ve ever worked with and it felt amazing.
Congrats to Bezos on the profits from all of the panic buying at Amazon and Whole Foods and thank you sir for using your billions to fight this pandemic (haven’t checked this but I’m assuming he is).
LAPD officers showed up to a mental health call and shot each other.
I have a feeling this wouldn’t happen if unarmed mental health professionals answered these calls instead.
There has been an LAPD Officer-Involved Shooting in the area of Santa Monica Blvd & Wilton Pl within

Division. Preliminary info is that officers responded to a suicidal male radio call at approx 2:10pm in the area of Santa Monica Blvd & Wilton Place.
When I was a kid my grandpa told me I should be sure to know my hand span and the length of a useful finger so I could make decent measurements with just my hands and he was right
Twitter in a nutshell: reading Richard Dreyfus’ son’s thread about his mom dating Bob Dylan until it turns into him yelling at public transit advocates and screaming about Hitler.
I just learned the Writers Assistant on the last show I was on made $15/hr. That’s the same rate I made as a WA... FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

Hi! I worked on this last year and am excited that you can now see all episodes on Hulu! Check it out! If you liked the book or movie, you’ll realize they’re both dog shit compared to the tv show!

They said it was liberal pearl clutching when we decried the terms China Virus/kung flu/etc. The words themselves were an act of violence. A non-zero number of Asian deaths is connected to every instance of someone publicly referring to covid that way.
My one buddy never farted until he got to college. Meanwhile, me and the rest of the guys all farted at least once in high school. We never let him forget about it!
Normal People is the most relatable show I’ve ever seen. Just having so much sex high school. Being a super shredded weirdo banging another super hottie. Getting hammered at the bar with my boys and then having passionate sex in my bedroom all night with a nerdy model.
You’d think you’d say “the Chinese government” or even “China” instead of “the Chinese” to avoid seeming xenophobic. Unless, of course, your intention was to court racists.
A lot of “cool” tv writers like to complain about notes, make fun of notes, refuse to take notes, etc. Not me. Note me, baby! I have no fucking clue what I’m doing.
How many digital subscribers does the NY Times have in Southern California? That's what I asked myself when I read the story about the L.A. Times struggling to pick up subscribers.
Laeta Kalogridis, the creator of Altered Carbon, is mass emailing writers she doesn’t know in an attempt to exploit this global catastrophe to undermine the (already well litigated) WGA action against the ATA. That’s... super shitty!
“I mean YOU try doing a ‘Ken Jeong has a micro penis’ gag with today’s ‘Asian men can be leading men’ culture! You can’t! It’s bullshit! Comedy is dead!”
Todd Phillips stated “go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture” when asked if he would develop more comedies. He adds that comedies don’t work anymore “because all the funny guys are like, ‘Fuck this shit, I don’t want to offend you.’” (Source: )
One of my greatest fears in life has always been to hear a baby crying in the woods. My dad lives out in the country in VA and whenever I’m at his house I fall asleep saying to myself “Please don’t let me hear a baby crying in this motherfucker.” 1/
3 year old was coloring and asked me what color she should use. I said yellow. After a pause she said “I can't use yellow. The Visitor told me I can't.” And I said “who is the visitor?” And she said “He's invisible and he's sitting right next to you.” 👀👀👀
Now I’m wondering if I also heard it when I was really young and forgot about it but the fear stayed with me. That’s why I’ve always been inexplicably scared of hearing a baby crying in the woods because there is literally a ghost baby crying in the woods at my dad’s house! BYE/

Are the kitchens and dishwashing stations and other areas where restaurant staff work also al fresco? Or are they not the Angelenos we give a shit about?
I’ve been dying to see pictures of my friends in front of Notre Dame but didn’t know how to ask them. So, in a way, these recent events have worked out well for me.
Writers who tell other writers not to publicly criticize tv shows because it may cost them jobs vastly underestimate how much haters love to hire other haters.
Thinking about all the childless people out there struggling to come up with what fun cocktail they will make today while I’ve spent the last 20 min trying to meet my daughter’s demand that these two stuffed animals both wear the same hat at the same time.
My mother-in-law is staying with us. She bought some kind of special pickles and she’s been trying to get me to eat one for three days. She keeps loudlu saying “to herself,” “Wow, these pickles are good.” “These are the best pickles I’ve ever had.” Etc.
Amazing. Villanueva says the articles lack factual basis and then seconds later says “I was the only sherif that’s enacted policy that addresses exactly what you’re talking about.”
I've tried to get comment on my series on
#LASDgangs
from Sheriff Alex Villanueva for about a month. Today he responded during a Community Conversation hosted with LAPD Chief Michel Moore. Villanueva says he's recommending that people sue me. (1)
Excited for the new WGA board but also disappointed that not one of them has addressed how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got to skip staff writer and go straight to co-producer.
