My one Martin Short story: I was flying in for Cannes one year and got to the local baggage claim. I was the first one there. Ten minutes pass and one other person finally shows up... ... and it's Martin Short. So now it's just him and I standing in this tiny little baggage claim area. No one else. No bags. And a few minutes go by and I'm dying. I want to say something, but come on. Super awkward.

Standing at the Drafthouse last night in the downstairs Video Vortex area, where they were playing Batman movies on shuffle. At the moment, BATMAN '66 was on. (1/?) There's a security guard standing there, and he's watching the screen. You can't hear it, but it's the attack on the UN by all the villains. Great silly scene. (2/?)

I am the exact sucker who needs to know what "space-flavored" is. Okay... I like it. It's fucking WEIRD, though. It's sort of cream soda at first, but then it settles into a kind of sugar-cookie/cotton candy taste, but not so much so that it doesn't taste like a Coke.

WEIRD. And I'll drink more than one.

It’s Trans Visibility Day, so I’d like to say a few words about my longtime writing partner @HorrorSwan, a trans woman who I’ve known since we were both kids. (1/8) The entire time we were growing up, there was always something reserved and private about Swan. We were as close as two people can be. We were together constantly. (2/8)

Most complaints about "woke/cancel culture" boil down to this:

Before social media, communities without a platform typically were left out of the conversation. They didn't think you were funny then, either. You just never had to hear their reactions before, and you haaaaaate it. You can make and market anything you want. You can make the most outrageous offensive comedy of all time. Go for it. But if people don't go or they hate it, that's not you being cancelled. That's how art works, Touchy Diaper Baby. Sorry the "wrong" audience got louder, I guess?

I grew up a super-fan of SOAP. It was one of the first shows that I loved that I could tell was not meant for kids in any way, and I adored it. And a big part of the reason was because of Jessica Tate, played by the great Katherine Helmond. It remains a singular accomplishment. She's sexy, she's hilarious, she's a space cadet, she's capable of enormous kindness and warmth, she's maternal, she's childlike... no one could have done what she did with that role. No. One.
