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 👋

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.

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

there are few things more depressing in adulthood than trying to find someone to take your extra concert ticket

"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.

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.

Imagine earnestly telling anyone that their "sex is on fire" let alone in a public context.

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is summoning U.S. generals worldwide for a meeting without saying why, causing anxiety in the military’s top ranks. The large number of generals in attendance, including those working active conflict zones, is without recent precedent, officials said.
