Before you write a script, ALWAYS OUTLINE. Before you outline, ALWAYS DO A LONGLINE. Before a logline, ALWAYS WATCH SOME OFFICE BLOOPERS. Before bloopers, ALWAYS GO ON FACEBOOK TO SEE IF THAT DICK WHO MADE YOU CRY ON THE BUS IN 7TH GRADE IS STILL OUT OF WORK.
Writing is a process. Respect it.

I don’t know what you do for a living, but you can take the rest of the day off.

Fellow Californians! Vote Yes on Prop 50!

50 will redraw our congressional districts to counter Trump's efforts to rig the 2026 election through gerrymandering in Texas.

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE! FUCK TRUMP!

Fair elections. Made in California. Vote Yes on prop 50

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Reading all this in a Gollum voice.

It’s a great record. One of a kind.

This is like the opposite of when chocolate and peanut butter partnered.

I was gonna say did Pete’s mom write this headline, but then I remembered she also thinks he’s a bad person.

Congrats! You deserve it. Good luck finding material to satirize though.

Even hearing “Will The Wolf Survive” as a dopey teenager, when lyrics meant next to nothing to me, this song felt haunted and important. I came for the guitar, stayed for everything else.

Hey, let’s all stop posting gross AI slop of dead celebrities - or of anyone - here on Bluesky. Even if you’re dunking on it, it’s still a bummer to see.

Great interview. Thanks!

Trump: In Vietnam we got politically correct.

“Napalm Girl” is a Pulitzer Prize winning photo that shocked the U.S. public in 1972 about the terror of the Vietnam war. The picture shows a naked 9-year-old girl, screaming in pain for help and running toward the cameras of international journalists. She was one of the lucky survivors after the napalm bombings of the U.S. Army in the small village of Trang Bang, Tay Ninh Province, in Vietnam.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

So maddening. I actually just said “fuck you” to the drawing of the writer. No response.

Tucker Cawley @tuckercawley.bsky.social · 3d

I’m sorry you had to go through that. So scary. But thank you for posting about it, as well as being there in the first place!

Tucker Cawley @tuckercawley.bsky.social · 3d

This is a lovely joke.

Tucker Cawley @tuckercawley.bsky.social · 3d

And the framing. What’s happening back there?!

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.
