    I think my agents are good people but I also think agencies can be unscrupulous and manipulative and I like having the WGA provide oversight. I voted yes.

    I talk on this podcast about misogyny and how to be supportive of women in your life. I’ve also recently realized that I’m pretty bad about discussing money with my female colleagues because I still think it’s impolite.

    Rich white men bragging about being self made while simultaneously referencing their public assistance is def my favorite distillation of America.

    This is the great writing about a fabled burrito joint that was also the apparent epicenter of dorks begging to get their shit ruined.

    My mom died three years ago today. She meant a lot to me and I miss her all the time. Here's a thing I wrote about her shortly after she was diagnosed: And here's a thing I wrote about her last year: Check her out. She was great.

    I went to a cafe in Tokyo tonight where they just played classical music at a reasonable volume and nobody was allowed to talk. A few people came in and immediately went to sleep. It was great. More businesses where everyone has to be quiet in 2019.

    The more I see all these goddamn ghouls manipulate the country by pumping it full of fear and cynicism the happier I am to work on something like the Good Place. Tonight’s episode says I wrote it but all tv is written by committee and I’m happy to play a little part.

    My Pop-Up Magazine piece is now a bonus episode of Invisibilia. It's about technology, death, the power of the human voice, and my mom, and it's very meaningful to me. I hope you'll listen to it and then call someone you love.

    I donated a kidney in 2008 and it's one of the best things I've ever done. I got a pretty cool scar and I helped save my dad's life. Everyone give your organs away if you are in a position to do so.

    We came across this man at Costco and we asked him about his shirt. He said he has been looking for a donor for four years and still nothing. Please do me a favor and RT this. For more info about him DM me.

    One time in the 50s my grandfather got arrested for trying to drink from the overzealous fans fountain.

    Philadelphia is cleaning up after its late-night street celebrations, where some overzealous fans smashed windows, climbed traffic lights and trashed some convenience stores.

    The Awl let me write for them when nobody else would even respond to my emails. I owe them so much and hope to eventually pay forward the kindness they showed a young person hoping to make a living as a writer.

    My dudes, don't forget that "The Good Place" returns to TV tonight. It's a great way to take your mind off the cold weather/nuclear precipice/Jeff Sessions' rapacious lust for imprisoning young black men who smoke joints sometimes.
