What would have been interesting was to show how social media drives people to psychosis by shortening the attention span people have and creating multiple personalities among users. Then someone else was too preoccupied with social media to notice their lover’s descent into madness.

I hadn’t really watched most of his movies since No Country for Old Men. It just seems like anyone with any influence doesn’t have a fire lit under their ass. Now is the time to rise as a leader, and I just don’t see it happening.

The good news is this will be a lot less painstaking than my abortion book that will come out next month. I wrote that the old-fashioned way. With ChatGPT, citations are instantaneous. You just take pictures of the cover and copyright page. Then upload it and ask for APA format.

I once read Budd Schulberg's intro to the published version of On the Waterfront. He said people his age, early 40s, were too old by and large for Hollywood. That's for a screenwriter. For actors, it's usually 20s or bust. And as politically incorrect as it is, you should go with a youth movement.

I once wrote a cocktail book. lol. It also was a history of bartending in Pittsburgh. Don’t drink anymore. It’s also as hard to convince bartenders to date you too. At least when they’re on shift.

I've actually dated strippers. But I didn't meet them in the club.

And Hollywood is bankrolled by Silicon Valley. Where do you think all that money comes from for multimillion-dollar options for spec scripts and TV shows?
