This week Pippa and KJ are covering The Martian! Tune in for a discussion on what makes a book "hard sci-fi" and the charm of a story that cares about the math.

Pilot season was the best r&d/farm system in the history of our business. Every year they‘d make pilots to see what on the page actually worked, discovered great new voices & actors (who subsequently could survive another year after booking one.)
Let this be a trend.

The great @snoodit.bsky.social beat me to the publish button on this topic today (read her story too: theankler.com/p/tv-in-3-is...) but I swear I was already working on it when she did: NBC is doing pilot season again, at least to a degree.
NBC Is Trying Its Best to Bring Pilot Season Back
The network has handed out a flurry of orders in the past week, the latest being a private eye comedy from ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ alums Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici.

I’ve been going insane the past couple days (for obvious reasons) but was also sick of seeing all the ai slop. So I channeled my energy into something productive and drew this. The Simurgh is a benevolent bird in Persian mythology similar to a phoenix in the West.

"No Other Choice" becomes the second piece of media I've seen, after "The Office," that uses the paper industry as the saddest, most pathetic thing you could be doing with your life

The videos are so harrowing. The screams and anguish of surrounding community members. My heart is with the victim, her loved ones, and her community. We don’t deserve this trauma. ICE must be destroyed and its agents and architects must be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

No story really starts and stops the way you write it. So I often think about what happened before, what will happen after. Sometimes I discover history that should impact the present and also that I have not written far enough and the actual final perspective of the story still lies ahead of me.
