Well, it’s December first, and I’ve already put a* Christmas tree up. Start as you don’t-actually-mean-to go-on but-seem to have anyway, I guess?
*not mine, I was early for a meeting at the theatre and the decorations were going out.

Reminder that Whamaggeddon is absolute loser behaviour. It's one of the best Christmas songs of all time; every penny ever made from it goes to Band Aid charities; it's George fucking Michael!
"Ugh, I got Whamaggeddoned in Boots!"

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Into the last two days of stage managing my friend’s writing and directorial debut, which we’ve been working on for three years.
I passed ‘exhausted’ at some point just before tech week.
Monday’s going to be weird.

So this place had become quiet of late. Turns out all these settings were set to ‘hide’. A few are now set to ‘warn’ or ‘off’. Useful tools, if you know they are there to configure them properly.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The first three words of "look at this asshole" is "look at this".
My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Good morning/lunchtime, this is awesome.
A small black kitten decided I didn't need to sleep last night; since I was up anyway, I finished up a cover of "Bring on the Dancing Horses" by Echo & the Bunnymen. We should all be so productive in a bout of enforced insomnia.

Pleased to be able to say that I’m directing Pontypool at the Loft Theatre next year.

I’ve enjoyed Alien: Earth as a series in itself. Not sure I enjoyed it as an *Alien* series, but enjoyable overall.
