Just your average run-of-the-mill television writer and licensed private investigator. (Children Ruin Everything, The Lost Symbol, Killjoys, etc)
Whenever my son tries to pull my glasses off my head, I say in my best James Earl Jones, "Just once let me face you without it. Let me look on you with my own eyes."

But honestly, I feel like this uncouthed eight-month-old just doesn't get the reference.

Angry as a human being with a family to help provide for that AI has illegally used my work to try and replace me.

Angry as a writer that AI has read my work and has not bothered to shoot me an email with its thoughts.

I wasn't sure how Robert Downey Jr. was going to pull it off, but honestly, his Doctor Doom looks unrecognizable to his Iron Man.

If nothing else, can we strike against this minimal effort stock photo sourcing?

My 2 and a half year old asks me to make up Paw Patrol stories when I put her to bed every night, then interrupts me with notes.

"No! No! Marshall's ladder can't reach that high, Daddy! Skye should use her harness."

If any network is looking for an exec with bang-on notes, my daughter is avail.

Snow is like a tiger. It's beautiful to watch through glass, but you don't want to be out there with it.

ER doctors are obsessed with tools that beep.

"Doctor, we've developed a device that will cure--"

"What's the beep ratio?! Does it have angry dings? Panicked whirls? How will people know I'm doctoring?!"

My 2-year-old got really upset that the quarter moon is broken and in that moment I realized I do not know how to explain the phases of the moon.

I told her it'll be fixed next time she sees it. So, you know, starting her off with a strong foundation of science over here.

The thing that's great about buying peaches is not only do you get a day of delicious fruit, you then get a full week of raise your own pet fruit flies.

Of all the well wishes today, the Paris 2024 Olympic Committee wishing me a happy birthday with Olympic facts from the year I was born might be the most random message I've gotten. Though the day is young. Maybe a World Cup or a pro sports league will reach out!
