The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Incredible time Saturday meeting up w/ @leahfromsd.bsky.social & seeing @thehorrormaster.bsky.social LIVE (or is it THEY LIVE?) in concert @ #BelascoLA. His brilliant compositions… from his films and his albums…pack a *huge* punch played live, including a track from his upcoming new album CATHEDRAL.

The ICE-buggy is guarding…the Midgard side of Bifröst, the Rainbow Bridge of Norse myth? The *Asgardians* are taking our jobs? That was *one* time!
Unless they are guarding Midgard against…invasion by Frost Giants? Okay, now the name makes sense.

Delightful series of events. Saw this great spin on the California Flag at a @50501movement.bsky.social #NoKings rally and posted a photo to @gailsimone.bsky.social @bsky.app
where the artist who *created* it, @geekfilter.bsky.social, ID’d himself & pointed me to merch.
Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Gail.

BLACK PHONE 2 hit me so hard there’s a crater. Phenomenal & chilling sequel, was not ready for the thrills, scares, mystery, & pathos it elegantly delivers. Gorgeous, smart camerawork and sound immerse you in Gwen & Finn’s world, and #MasonThames & #MaddyMcgraw astound.
See. It. Big. ASAP.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

TERMINATOR is a great story, but I’m not sure any fiction…save perhaps the @crobertcargill.bsky.social SEA OF RUST series…managed to envision how diabolical and efficient AI could be in the pursuit of destruction of human life.

Screenwriter @jeffreyhoward33.bsky.social (OCULUS, upcoming WYTCHES) is a great writer and an excellent instructor. I say this having personally studied lessons from him and as a former instructor myself (in other fields). Breaks down complex concepts in an engaging way. *Highly* recommend.
