Doing the #ScriptSky intro thing:

I'm a (mostly) feature writer that specializes in turning genre tropes on their heads.

My sci-fi thriller SUNDOWN was on the 2023 Black List.

My biopic JUMPMAN: THE LEGEND OF SHIGERU MIYAMOTO was a 2024 Nicholl semifinalist.

I won the AFF Pitch Comp once.

Hi 👋

Truly, tell me, how is this different than Jewish and gay people and Romani people being dragged away by Nazis? And didn’t we have some fairly clear agreement to never let that happen again?

Portland protestor frog costume: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge pepper balls?

Morpheus from Matrix movie: No, Frog. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

Whenever I think the tide is surely turning, I see an article about a poll saying self-identifying Republicans overwhelmingly blame Democrats for the shutdown.

Sure, guys. Might as well go down with the ship.

Don't tell Trump but we're renaming Antifa "AVALANCHE"

Spent the morning with my daughter's kindergarten class and the pervasiveness of K-Pop Demon Hunters cannot be overstated.

Ahead of our 20th anniversary, we hit the lab and have come back with a brand new website! The new iam8bit.com is prettier, faster, and will have some long awaited features like wishlists + countdown timers. Buying something from the new website will also make you 13% cooler, too (probably)!

I would have gone with The Grammys myself

I can't think of a more boring way to engage with art than speculating "who it's about."

"What if you called the Ghostbusters and the Ghostbuster came to investigate and found out he was the ghost." And that's how my 5yo inadvertently pitched me The Sixth Sense.

Had two glasses of wine at dinner, time to be bad at Balatro.

Destruction and disruption of the government only serves to centralize power around a corrupt President. It's like playing hide and seek with a kid who leaves the playground to burn your house down.

Appreciate Hegseth browbeating the generals. That'll be useful when it comes time to topple this regime.

I know hypocrisy has become the default, but I'm trying to imagine the outrage if Biden's son in law joined arms with Saudi Arabia to buy the Madden company.
