All these TikToks going after screenwriters for shitty dialogue without any awareness that the on-the-nose dialogue is a directive of studios *because* of viewers on TikTok during their shows.

This stings. I grew up in FL, live in CA, and care so much about ocean ecology I wrote a horror novel where it goes haywire. While querying, I've characterized it as fiction, but barely. The coral descriptions here could've come from ch5. 😟

What scientists saw underwater in Florida left them “shocked” — and devastated

Two incredibly valuable animals are now “functionally extinct” in Florida. That should alarm all of us.

According to Tubi's head of acquisitions, "LOONEY TUNES" has become one of their "top-ten best-performing series," and is popular with viewers across generations.

He says they are in "active negotiations" to ensure that Tubi can be the home of Looney Tunes for "quite a while — likely years."

#BacktotheFuture is one of my favorite films and coincidentally I'm at this BK all the time for its counter-height tables, which I prefer when I'm doing a writing sprint. I didn't realize this was in BTTF until we rewatched the movie earlier this year. 😀

I have 2 versions of this: my original, which I keep sealed away in its bag, and a reprint so I can read it whenever I want. The opening scene of this is so dark…shocking that Claremont got it published in 1982. Still highly relevant, especially for 2025.

Damn. Now #AceFrehley is gone. Here's my favorite Ace song, from his solo album. It's a great song about NYC, kind of a personal anthem for me. I listen to it often. RIP, Spaceman. 🤘

Great movie. I've seen it a few times. Fabulous from start to finish.

Deep cut of the day – Sputnik (2020). This movie did not get nearly enough love when it came out a couple of years ago. A dynamite, super intense alien film! Currently available on multiple VOD platforms.

Wrote a WWII thriller many years ago, a trunk novel. The story was terrific, small and intimate, strong themes, plenty of suspense and action, and a whopper of a finale. Thinking about looking at it again. No particular reason, except all the Nazi-ish crap in 'Merica right now. I hate Nazis...

A typhoon hit Alaska -- displacing over 1,000 people, washing away homes and entire communities.

And why isn't this all over the news?

They're Indigenous communities.

Happy Indigenous People Day.

Must-read thread about American manufacturing, consumerism, and the conservative mindset. Well done.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Great line from @sethgodin.bsky.social's daily blog, one that speaks to screenwriting and the long, hard work of making anything really: "It’s hard work to stick around long enough to get lucky."

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 18d

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 20d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
