Hosting the Peabody Awards was a real honor. And I got to run into old friends and make new friends and meet my heroes.

With the double strike and all, I believe this is all I can say: I saw big movie. It was good.

@kumail.bsky.social Hey! Would you be interested in helping me spread the word about my comic? It's about a trans and Muslim superhero! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/kobra-olympus-issue-1-battle-of-the-blood-golem-0

We made social media. Then social media made us.

Moderation is key to a successful social media platform. Having racist shit yelled at me isn’t discourse and I am not weak for not wanting it.

Me: something basic and boring Also me: also something basic and boring and not really that inconsistent with the first thing

I was on a tv show about technology for 7 years. We got to meet a lot of the big tech people, many before they became household names. So I’ve known (you know who) sucked for ten years before it became public knowledge.

Different places guide ppl towards different behaviors. Places have different mores & users will follow those unsaid guidelines. Twitter’s been descending into anger for years. But we can keep a more civil level of discourse here. The culture of a site dictates the tenor of the conversation.
We have to be honest that bluesky is only like this because it's invite only. It won't remain like this for long and will probably grow into something similar to Twitter. I'm just hoping that the admin team on here will handle things differently than current Twitter management.

What are people’s favorite film performances? I need inspiration.

2012: every movie and video game will have nazis as the baddies because they are unequivocally evil. 2023: let’s hear them out.

Every single horse that pulled that carriage had more charisma than the man inside it.

Loved this coronation and this king with the charisma of a sleep-deprived housefly.

So @emilyvgordon.bsky.social & I are sponsoring a free screening of Polite Society at Aperture Cinema in Winston-Salem, NC. It’s totally free! Just show up! No catch! We wanted to support cool small movies and cool small theaters. Sunday May 7th at 1:15 pm. First come first serve.

Yes I’m friends with the guy who made it, but Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a magical film. James does things in it that I never thought I’d see in a huge comic book film. It inhabits a sprawling universe while focusing on big & tiny moments of humanity. It’s imaginative, open hearted & inspiring.

Ok I’m gonna go old school and ask a question I would have asked on the other thing years ago: I need a new video game to start. Options are: Dead Space remake, Resident Evil 4 remake, Horizon DLC or the new Jedi game. Want a single player actiony adventurey thing. PS5. Thoughts?

Say hello to my friend and lover of Cornettos, @edgarwright.bsky.social. Be nice to him. Ask him smart questions. Give him smart answers. Be kind.
