Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.
PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Happy International Women's Day! 12 days til we premiere on Shudder, the countdown is ON 🚨🚨🚨

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch HOW TO SHOOT A GHOST. An aching, Athens set elegy starring Jessie Buckley — featured in our Two Short Films by Charlie Kaufman and Eva H.D. collection! Alongside the New York cine-poem JACKALS & FIREFLIES.
UPDATE: I managed to get the shelves halfway done before finding out that they left out a bag of parts.
Hopefully, I can get them sent this week.
Highly recommend getting off of X if you're still there. Your brain is getting cooked every second you're exposed to this racist garbage.
Thread.
It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
Asante officials announced last week that contracts have been renewed with three physician groups ensuring radiology, pathology and anesthesia services for the regional healthcare provider. The news comes amid reports in recent months of ongoing changes. ashland.news/asante-navig...
On the plus side, that's an extra hour I can use to build my shelves.
Aw crap!
I bought an office chair a couple of weeks ago and put it together in about fifteen minutes.
And then, I got cocky and ordered new shelves for my Blu-Rays.
Seventeen pieces and five bags of screws.
I am Hubris Personified.
I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...
Everybody at all points on the political spectrum understand that democrats and republicans are different challenge level: impossible.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Same, Billy Boy.
