After many months of work, I'm thrilled to announce the first draft of the Mistborn screenplay is DONE! Just in time to celebrate the book's original publication, twenty years ago this month. Do please remember that this is just an early step in a very long process, but I'm terribly excited by how it turned out!
just met a cute girl at this wedding i’m at
like actually cute. objectively dangerous face card.
we’re talking. vibes are immaculate. she’s laughing at my jokes. i’m in my bag.
then sports get brought up, she says it
“i watch football”
my ears PERKED up
i played it cool. i said “oh nice, what’s your team”
she said “i’m a giants fan”
and that’s where a normal person would’ve said “cool, me too” and gotten her number
but i am not a normal person
my brain instantly went into terminal mode and i said “what do you think of the team?”
she looked confused
i kept going
“Darius Slayton as our WR2? Are you kidding me. Matt Nagy as our OC? Did you see what he did to Patrick Mahomes? Our franchise qb and franchise edge rusher hate each other. And we traded away our superstar DT”
she laughed nervously and said “what”
and i said “And don’t even get me started on Cam Skattebo basically trying to get himself injured”
she said “what”
and i said “so do you even follow the team”
she said “I literally have a Darius Slayton Jersey”
the vibe was GONE
just vanished. Just like Daniel Jones in primetime.
her friend pulled her away. she didn’t look back.
i was standing there alone at a wedding holding a drink i wasn’t even sipping, doing MENTAL MATH on how someone could claim to be a giants fan and think this Darius Slayton deserved that contract.
my cousin walked over and said “bro she looked into you what happened”
i said “she’s a casual”
he said “so?”
SO???
i then realized i would rather cut off my entire family than to share a bloodline with someone of the same species that couldn’t comprehend this
she had a pretty face but a DISGUSTING perspective on life that i just couldn’t get behind
could’ve had her number
she could’ve been the mother of my children
COULD’VE.
but now at least she knows i know ball
and honestly that’s worth more
Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices," per NBC
Jimmy Carter was the 39th U.S. President - and never ordered a single aerial bombing campaign against a foreign country. Every modern president before and after him did. Carter chose diplomacy where others chose firepower. His defining moment came at Camp David in 1978 - locking Egyptian and Israeli leaders in 13 days of brutal negotiation, emerging with a peace agreement that ended 30 years of war. His presidency faced the Iran hostage crisis, oil shocks and economic turmoil - crises that would have given any leader justification for military escalation. He held the line anyway. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died in 2024 at 100 years old. The man who never bombed anyone outlived almost every critic who called him weak.
BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.
Why were the President and Secretary of State at a UFC fight tonight—while two real estate bros and the VP were trying to negotiate ending a war?
And we’re wondering why it failed…?
Tim Dillon: “History will regard Pam Bondi as someone who took no prisoners.”
“Literally.”
“She didn’t arrest anyone.”
“She came in guns a-blazing.”
“And as soon as those guns got in, they stopped a-blazing.”
“She’ll be replaced by Attorney General Todd Blanche … he’s the guy that got the Ghislaine Maxwell moved to that cushy prison.”
“So it’s all going well.”
“They didn’t love her handling of the Epstein files … they thought that she was not covering it up quickly enough.”
“And she really didn’t prosecute enough of his political opponents.”
