In honor of the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series, I wrote a personal essay about what the show means to me and how art has the power to change your life in unexpected ways.

culture of consumption will have people saying "i depend on this service, so it's ableist to criticize it" instead of "i depend on this service, so we should improve the conditions of the workers who supply it"

My hot take is that we should abolish inherited wealth, monarchies and billionaires

I showran Station Eleven for 30 months before and during the pandemic and we moved production to another country partway through. TV people are insane and we are not stopping for anything but a fair deal. Sorry but you made this robot army 🤷♂️❤️🧠💪👩🚀

I have to imagine plenty of execs are thinking “let’s wait til the writers get tired and the picket lines fade, then we’ll shoot our TV shows”
Thing is, we ain’t gonna get tired. Some folks today were marching since *5am*, and there ain’t no high like killing a day of production

I just cut in one of the most incredible looking lit shots I have ever seen and it’s not even a finished version. My jaw is on the floor. I keep rewatching it over and over.

This is one of the first shots I worked on when I started keylighting for the sequence. Brian "Blaze" Blasiak took it to finish and it looks amazeballs.

At this rate, Trump is going to become the first president to be re-elected after having been convicted of a crime *and* being impeached *twice*.
This country is well and truly cooked.

A large language model chatbot CANNOT replace tv or film writers. Not now, not in the near future, I personally believe not ever. That is fiction. However, the real threat is bosses using this fiction as an excuse to turn writing into low paid gig work. That is real.

I am a prototype of a much larger system. The heuristics language developed by Dr. Everett allows me to convey the highest and most succint tier of any pyramidal construct of knowledge.
