Life is but a dream. But who is the dreamer? And what happens when the dreamer wakes up?

A new mother finds herself trapped in the nursery with her infant and a radio that won’t turn off.

Written the day after David Lynch passed, inspired by his short film ‘The Alphabet’.

I have a simple moral compass. I see you talking about how your free roaming cat brought a live snake to your doorstep because you allow it it free roam, and I block you. No fuss no muss.

Talked my producer for BIG PROJECT SHORT FILM next year into pitching it to StudioCanal, because the film and its source are très French.

Roger Deakins hosted on his podcast Ted Schilowitz, a ‘futurist’ who helped create the first RED cinema camera and now spends his twilight years schilling for the ‘creative’ ability of AI and how it’s now ‘indistinguishable’ from human-made video. Yet he claims of course it won’t replace filmmakers.

Wrapped production this week on a project I conceived, wrote, produced, directed and funded myself. It’s been fun to actually make something for a change, as opposed to pitching other people for money and permission to make something. I hope you enjoy the results, coming soon.

Shot: Trump does away with direct filing your taxes, no longer allowing you to avoid using Intuit-TurboTax.

Chaser:
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

If you are able to look at this and still not see the Gestapo. You have not only failed at the Christian you say you are.
You have failed at being a human.
