Hopeful cinematographer, screenwriter, jazz musician, bearer of the curse.
@bobchipman.bsky.social Rewatched your Escape From New York How-To-Fix video, and I wholeheartedly maintain that your “Escape From The Mid-West” pitch after all this time still has an insane amount of legs. Can’t stop thinking about it, now!

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I guess there's only four of these that we know of?

That's interesting to know. Kudos to whoever's job it is to keep track of that, because if they asked me to follow a literal white whale? I would do a different assignment. Seems like the precedent there isn't on my side.

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

A national disgrace. Public Broadcasting as an institution is worth more to this country and the world than the combined *lives* of every single MAGA-voting "person" (not just 'the billionaire' ones, either) and restoring/building this needs to be a priority for any Democrat candidate.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
