My autistic twin brother has been writing AI prompts for some short video creations lately. He gets a kick out of it and is happy to have an outlet for creative expression, which is sometimes difficult for him.
His gummies from our med-marijuana place seem to help him break out of his shell, too.

I programmed NATCHEZ as part of the Doctober Film Festival this past October; it’s one of the best films I saw last year. So pleased it’s getting a theatrical release now, & it’ll be coming back to the Pickford on Feb 26 w/ @geniusbastard.bsky.social moderating a Q&A w/ director Suzannah Herbert 🙌🏻
Plantation weddings and pre-civil war fashion: the film that critiques the historical fantasy of Natchez
A documentary about Mississippi examines competing forces: the nostalgic celebration of the old south and the refusal to sanitize the brutal history of enslavement

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

On Valentine's Day, many single folks feel like "failure" as they watch social media posts from couples celebrating their relationships.
For years, I didn't speak out about my own struggles with long-term loneliness and I'm so glad that I did because I found such a supportive network

Speaking Out on Loneliness & Depression as a 40-Year-Old Man
My advice to anyone feeling similar stigmas: fuck them, the people who say that shit - they are just projecting their own insecurity onto you because you are single and there's nothing wrong with it.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

the Wenders fiasco allows me to circle back to the delightful fact during 1989 cannes jury deliberation that jury member Sally Field was vigilantly fighting for Do the Right Thing when Wenders and other members were afraid of it.

This interview with Kal Penn really resonates, do not be afraid to ask for the things you really want. As I look back, almost every job I’ve gotten came from directly talking to people and making it clear I could do the job.
