If some rando makes you sign an NDA to read their screenplay, I can almost guarantee you it'll be a pile of hot garbage.

A decade ago I met with a bloviating, successful-ish producer. The other day, a director buddy randomly informed me that said producer'd just sent him a terrible script he'd "written" that then failed every Ai detector my buddy ran it through. #ThatTracks #AiSucks

Today's rejection hit harder than usual for some reason.

If you're not ever in any way anxious about dying before you've completed your WIP, are you even really a writer?

I'd just like to take a moment to express my objection to yesterday's Wordle. Is there anyone I can speak to about this? (Note: this is a joke about yesterday's Wordle. If you did not do yesterday's Wordle, you may walk on by)

Women of the internet will laugh at me, but for the first time ever in my life, someone on reddit just (vaguely) threatened to kill me, so... achievement unlocked?

Eight years ago I wrote a screenplay about the US and China in an arms race to build a general ai to quickly kill all the other country's infrastructure and also it had armed, autonomous drone swarms. Not a great script, but I still think I deserve some sort of prize.

Fun game for writers: watch people leaving the grocery store and try to guess (by their clothes, bearing, etc.) which vehicle they're heading for.

Screenwriters! What are the best questions to ask your (actor friend) readers after a table read? I have one tonight.

Dear big shot Hollywood producer about to board a flight: if you go down today, do you want your last moments to have been spent watching some dumb in-flight movie with the hoi-polloi... or having an elite, super exclusive Josh Barkey Script Experience? Just think about it.

I think if I ever meet Tony Gilroy I'm just gonna go on and on about THE CUTTING EDGE and never once wink or flinch or admit I've seen anything else he's written. As he backs nervously away, I'll shout out an obscure quote, laughing maniacally. "Toe pick!"
