Got my pre-AFF Covid shot today. Waiting for smugness to morph into aches. #scriptsky

I'm chuckling. Nora Ephron wrote cute dialogue in the SILKWOOD script that never made it into the movie. BUT, nearly the same bit showed up in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. Remember the "days of the week" underwear discussion? Why no Sunday? Save your darlings, people. #scriptsky

In stock again. I had a sudden need for three of them. store.jamestalarico.com/products/not...

I get a quiet joy out of these. Maybe you'll enjoy them too.

Hear from a witness of the ICE shooting in the Bronx today.

TFW you discover a restaurant called The Dessert Spoon but it's actually The Desert Spoon with no desserts on the menu at all. Similar to when I found a Bake Shop that turned out to fix brakes. Damn my eyes.

I forgot to type "-ai" in google search when I asked for the "pH for salvia plants." The answer came back as 6.4 - 7.4. Great, but it was giving me the pH of human saliva and went on to talk about tooth enamel. Can't AI even READ? SHUT IT DOWN.

This is a fun first. Words I wrote in an actor's reel. Great job by Joseph Rene and Aaron Ramos who performed the scene (2nd clip, as two almost step-brothers). #scriptsky vimeo.com/1222866500

Good gravy. My script has "cell," "phone," "cellphone," and "cell phone," with a "company mobile" kicker. Help. What DO we call these things? #scriptsky

I stopped buying makeup at the drugstore when they put it under lock and key, and Sephora at Kohl's wants $28 for one eyebrow pencil. Trying to avoid Walmart and Amazon but I don't know, guys...

My love of both old postcards and old movies merges in this interesting article. #silentfilm #scriptsky postcardhistory.net/2026/08/the-...

TFW you watch 95% of a movie but miss the ending, then you get another chance when it replays a couple hours later and you STILL manage to miss the end, and then you finally glue yourself to the chair so you catch it the third time around -- and you wish you hadn't. #scriptsky

I kept it together until I saw Barack hugging Joe. 😭

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. The Rogues. It had Gig Young, Charles Boyer and David Niven but incredibly, only 1 season.

I've had an amazing day of research for my next feature script. Feeling energized!! #scriptsky

I misread this as "Woman writing on an early IBM computer" and honestly, it resonates. #scriptsky

I spent 10 minutes searching on my bookshelves for a book I own digitally.

Merge two movies: The Importance of Being E(a)rnest Scared Stupid

TIL that you can get a nasty cut from heavy duty tin foil. I don't mean from the serrated metal cutter strip, I mean from the tin foil itself. Who knew? Be careful when you're using it!

Quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap. Harold and the Hang-ups (Richard Dreyfus on right).

Last night's BLT with the season's first tomato was SO GOOD. Lemons might make you pucker, but it's garden tomatoes that physically make you smile.

I describe my favorite background music as "that jazz when it's raining in an old movie, but I don't know what to call it." Ahh, bliss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnJQ...

First cataract surgery complete. The world looks weird right now, but to be fair, the world IS weird right now.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

Boost your unit's morale with this easy trick discovered by a Brigadier. Enemy generals hate it!

It seems that all I need after a pitch is flattery and I'll be buzzing as though I signed a deal over ten cups of coffee. Kind of pathetic. But this was a good night and I pitched to a cool exec who loved it, so I'll be up awhile. Gotta bask when I can. #scriptsky

Since screenwriting often (always?) requires research, this article seems pretty useful. #scriptsky

I voted via mail-in ballot in Texas primary today. Now that postmarks are irrelevant and USPS can take its sweet time, will my vote even be counted? Will it get across town in six days? Stay tuned.

One of my all-time favorites!! Treat yourself to some laughs.

Try John Lennon's IMAGINE, to start (or re-start) your day with peace and hope. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykgk...

When someone didn't show up to pitch tonight, I offered to jump in. Wish I'd had a lick of lipstick on, but it went well and I got helpful feedback. Always be ready, is what I'm saying. #scriptsky

This isn't my type of music, but thanks, Tim Grimm. I hope you reach a lot of people. When a country singer feels outrage at the chaos around us, it feels unifying, and like maybe things are shifting. Favorite line: Damn that man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rizh...

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

Thank you! Got the good news today! So pleased !

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Danish Americans get this. Everyone else, see ALT description.

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

quote w/a gif of where you're from I was born elsewhere, but Minneapolis was where I grew up and I'm especially proud of it today!

Boo, the Chimera cat who works as very vocal greeter at a vintage store I visited this week. Isn't she pretty? #Caturday

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

After a major accident alert buzzed my phone 3 times over FIVE hours, I finally looked to see what on earth happened. Yeah, that would do it. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/t...
