One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.
They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.
This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Slowburn realization that I was horrifically burnt out, a well timed lucky break while applying for as many part time jobs as I could, a deep love of books, and badly modding Dragon Age so my dog was a permanent companion
