Curious about The Rock's just announced Hawaiian mafia movie idea?
Then check out the TV pilot script for THE PEOPLE'S KINGDOM written by me & @kroe.bsky.social! (DMs open!)
This story is personal—my uncle was in the Hawaiian mob. He was killed. We dug deep to tell a story inspired by his POV.

In the scene depicted, the instructor is teaching quantum physics and temporal mechanics. She calls out a student who is being an ass and doesn't even know his classmates' names. But to bigots, the mere presence of an LGBTQI+ actor (Tig Notaro) is "DEI training."

You used to be able to tweet the darkest jokes on the planet and go on to run a movie studio.

Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
... I'm just not sure anymore. 🤷🏽♂️

the thing with thinking youre running out of time is that whenever you think it its undoubtedly true. Youre not delusional for thinking it at 18, 38, 68, etc.
But there is no more useful information to extract from that line of questioning so stop

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last

And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would

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. 🫡
