free storyboarding tip, particularly for action: sometimes no matter how much you plan, you can't find a solution to your sequence in your head. in this instance you should just start boarding because actually putting stylus to screen helps make clear what you were trying to say

i have received, from clients, quickly photoshopped concepts, scenes acted out with action figures, lego sets, stick figures, scenes from movies with a "but xyz different instead", and I could go on. all of these were helpful and they had the average amount of note passes

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

One thing to remember about McCarthyism is it didn't last forever and those who collaborated are rightly remembered as craven and pathetic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhLP...

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it.
They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

due to the success of the gay hockey show, i'm seeing various gay men whispering about why gay men aren't able to tell their own stories and why all of the major recent gay story successes are written by women.
historically this usually ends up turning misogynistic pretty fast
