The idea of counting sheep to fall asleep is absurd when we can simply scroll on social media and count things that make us feel bad

My birthday this year was consumed by work on our horror film DEAD MEDIA so I’ve been going through cards and realized I never shared this one my talented niece Kayla drew for me back in August. I wait patiently for the squirrel to get their own spin-off film

The deluge of emails has finally convinced me. This holiday season I’m giving my loved ones what they truly want: Discounted short-term parking at LAX.

Today is the anniversary of Doctor Who and three different Guns N’ Roses albums. More support for my personal belief that, in the next iteration of the show, Slash should be the Doctor’s companion

This is a scene from classic Doctor Who but I’m having fun imagining that it’s a deleted scene from Newsies

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

Found a hack to turn off AI on your phone. You go to settings, advanced settings, then temporal rift settings and click “throw device into the sea.” You will be teleported to a windy cliff in Norway where a mischievous voice will whisper “do it, do it” until you hurl your phone into the raging waves

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Every time I try to relax, I keep thinking of this concept art I saw at the Jaws exhibit. A great "how your email finds me" image for our times

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

One year ago today we started filming our horror movie DEAD MEDIA. Today I celebrated by doing some work on marketing/distribution possibilities for the film and started writing the outline for the next movie I want to do. I also took a nap. Thanks to all who helped make DEAD MEDIA exist!

Sad to report I was not affected by the internet outage and can currently see all the websites I'm looking at to distract myself from working

My wife @scrimstreet.bsky.social and I celebrated our anniversary by looking up our wedding program. As history lovers, we put this list of November 17th events on the back of the program. We got married in 2006 so we should have included the release of Casino Royale on the same day.

Had a great time visiting the Jaws exhibit at the Academy Museum. Thankful for this zolly shot interactive that allowed me to capture the feeling of checking back in with social media after being away for a few hours
