Watched Brats on Hulu yesterday. Great for my 80’s nostalgia but an hour in I would have preferred a movie about bbqued German sausages.

So. Hulu sent out a press release today saying they now have, in honor of the BRATS documentary, “all nine Brat Pack films.” I would like to tell you what films are on this list. The first is ST. ELMO’S FIRE, which I am happy to say counts. But then: buckle up, buttercup.

Apropos of nothing in particular, let me get up on my soapbox for a moment and remind all you creative folks that the best time to have done estate planning was any time before today, and the second best time is now. It is actually super important. whatever.scalzi.com/2015/06/04/i...

In Which I Harangue Creative Types to Update Their Wills and Estateswhatever.scalzi.com Today my wife and I went into our lawyer’s office and updated our everything, including wills, living wills, donor registries and so on. Why did we do this? Because at this point in our life …

Years ago, my best friend made a “splendor dial” to keep annoying producers occupied in my editing room. He could’ve made 10 more splendid, but instead it goes to 11. Today he’s having the “Mother Of All Surgeries” for his cancer, so I’ll crank it up if y’all keep him in your thoughts.

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished. Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered. NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.

Fuck the police.

The NYPD has clarified that the victim is not a migrant. And in true NYPD fashion, they have given HIM a summons for disorderly conduct while not taking any apparent action against Sliwa’s gang. apnews.com/article/guar...

I know that a generation growing up with high lead exposure and traumatized WWII vet dads lead to the massive uptick in serial killers in the 70s but I think one of the reasons these killers seem to have disappeared is that the next wave of them just became cops

Without much paying work for unscripted filmmakers this year, I instead developed my own doc series, shot a sizzle and pitched it to a dozen networks + streamers during the most difficult time in the history of nonfiction TV. 5 of them are actively considering, so here's to things pickup in 2024!

It’s so depressing that musk is going crazy in such an unoriginal way when the Howard Hughes model is available to him.

welp now that Elon is posting pizzagate/Qanon on main I guess it’s maybe be worth reminding folks that QAnon is fundamentally an antisemitic conspiracy theory that remixes the blood libel with the protocols and a 21st century cast of main characters

MAGA men not only indulge misogyny, but also paranoia. My dad’s Trumpy and married a conservative lady, his 3rd wife. He developed conspiracy theories about her (brought on by decades of fox viewing + minor mental illness + age) and torpedoed the relationship.

I always play Tom Waits' "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" every holiday season, even though the lyrics are more of a Valentines song.

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen is such a weird pick for a Christmas song. Especially when you start examining the lyrics.

What a career! Pilots are tough to crack, and Robert Butler’s done so many
