I do. I don't like plugging it too much, and I never expect much from it.
Just gives me something to aim for in the foreseeable future while I'm being a caregiver. I keep myself busy in the meantime.
But it is nice to dream.

I've been writing professionally for nearly 30 years, and despite a few self-imposed hiatuses, I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah).
I think I may have touched a nerve with some folks because I wrote about a thing I truly love.

One of the last things you ever want to hear in your apartment is the sound of dripping water.
Especially if it's not coming from a faucet.
And it comes from the ceiling.

50 years ago today (January 5, 1976) the best damned TV show ever - and Norman Lear's labor of love - debuted.

I need to do another project. But I don't know what to do.
I made a plan for a Disney FAST initiative, reimagined Doctor Who as an American-made property, and created a plan for MTV to fit a modern era.

Seeing Sugar Bear, er, um, Super Bear from the Post Super Golden Crisps ads in a cartoon... like, an actual scripted cartoon with a plot and everything... is weird. I knew Linus the Lionhearted was where the character originated and was a Post-made production, but I never saw it until tonight.

One thing about Martin people rarely talked about when it comes to TV history.
This was one of the first Black and Gen X-led sitcoms to have a prominently young cast of urban professionals in lead roles. A true trendsetter for the young decade.

After a week of having MeTV Toons, I have to say I dig it.
I kind of thought I would though. It's a pretty stacked lineup with a nice variety of shows as well as an actual reverence to the golden ages of theatrical and television animation.
It's a solid channel. It'll get better in time.

Everything @sovereignmade.bsky.social does impresses me. He gets it. He understands the power of continuity and branding probably more than a lot of folks who actually work in the media.
