Hey, new followers! I'm Nina Berry, a writer by night and a cog in the Hollywood TV machine by day. I travel whenever I can afford it, love books, and got an MA in film for some reason. I play ttrpg games, swear sometimes, and am a passionate armchair Egyptologist.

While the "robot bartender falls over when the operator removed their control helmet" was kinda funny, the "it's just a person behind it" stories keep getting worse and worse.
Nothing about this is sustainable and people are suffering long-lasting harm on both sides of it.

My daughter Alma is hungry, weak, and crying in pain every night. We live without food or safety. I hold her close, praying someone out there still cares. Your kindness could mean a meal or medicine for her
Please, help us survive your compassion can save my child

The most amazing goodbye.
For today's @popheist.com #Heistmas Advent Calendar, I wrote about the performance of "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's December 2023 funeral, the purest and most invigorating celebration of a life well lived I've ever seen.
'Fairytale of New York' as You've Never Heard It Before
There's a reason why so many classic Christmas songs are about missing people, or places, or times we can't reclaim.

Friend of mine was one of the Dingaling.... the four women who sang and danced on his show. She said Dean never rehearsed, and he never drank. The drinking thing was a bit.
We're an hour away from live-skeeting our way through Dean Martin's painstakingly, endearingly slapdash Christmas special. #Heistmas

Christmas Ain't Complete With Dean Martin, King of Crooners

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

A great gift is to help a worthy cause in someone's name. My favorite animal-related charities are @freshstarttblc.bsky.social, where thoroughbreds who might otherwise be thrown away or mistreated are given a, well, fresh start. And @snowleopardcons.bsky.social, which saves people AND snow leopards.
