My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Here’s the deal. Things got better because people cared about making them better. Spending your time scrolling instead of making things better for future generations is why people feel like that progress is stopping.

Great thread on the Creative Writing workshop. If you want to take one in short story, novel, or personal essay with me, please reach out.

Through my writing life, nothing improved my writing more than participation in peer-based workshops: where a group of writers at about the same stage in their artistic development gather to read one another's work and offer feedback specifically aimed at improving each other's stories.

This isn't gonna get any coverage like the Afghanistan withdrawl because the media doesn't actually care about troops, they just use it as a cudgel to bash Dems.

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

In August, @liberalcurrents asserted that my brain had been "[microwaved]" by the internet b/c I questioned polling accuracy/transparency & the motivations of some individuals. Here is 1) the passage from LibCurrents & 2) the tweets they linked to. My brain doesn't seem so microwaved now, does it?

Goodbye, Captain Dallas. "So I went to see The Duellists. And it was a masterpiece. I mean, I have never seen a picture that captured so much production value as The Duellists. Magnificent-looking film, a painting from beginning to end. So I had to do Alien at that point.” Tom Skerritt was 93.

This is my grandfather—a decorated war hero who served in the US Army Air Corps & USAF in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam—fighting fascists from 1941-70. 💜🎖️ Thank God he’s not here to see fascism upending all he fought for. He did his part; now it’s OUR turn to fight to defend freedom. #ANTIFA ✅🔁💙🌊🇺🇸

Hey you. Yes, you. If you have that idea, you should make it. Write it, create it, paint it, draw it, code it, whatever. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do the thing. Try starting. I know life gets in the way and the world is on fire, but we need YOUR art.

They say if you haven’t been fired from a job in Hollywood, you haven’t been working in Hollywood for long. But getting fired is no badge of honor. It absolutely sucks! So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is about THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO KEEP YOUR JOB.

Always wanted to experience the Redwoods, and finally got to go. I wish I could articulate how incredibly moving I found it to be, but words fail me. So I will simply say that my wish for all of you is to have moments of peace like this in the midst of the chaos.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

You find the weirdest stuff inside your walls. Our house was built in 1949 and we're its third owner, and I have *no idea* what those other people were doing, but at one point someone installed a junction box full of live, bare wires that they filled with crumpled newspaper (!).

When Cindy Hyde-Smith was asked about rising beef prices, her advice was to pick another protein. Well, on November 3rd, we’re going to pick another senator. And when I get to the Senate, I’ll fight to bring costs down so working families can afford to put food on the table.
