It really is remarkable how turning your computer off and on again will, in fact, solve so many problems

OPENING 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY! (12/19): I was looking to do a comedy that was smart, sophisticated & very high-brow, but I did THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SEARCH FOR SQUAREPANTS instead.

From fairytales to modern horror films, wolves are too often cast as monsters and that misinformation shapes public opinion more than science does. In the UK and Ireland, where wolves have been absent for centuries, this fear is one of the biggest barriers to wolf recovery. 🔗 https://bit.ly/48mtSA3
This classic fairytale could be damaging Europe’s wolf rewilding efforts
While wolves once roamed Europe for centuries, for most people, they exist only in stories or on screen

The December Comfort Watches series continues tonight with... Dredd?!? Yes! Dredd! Which presents us with a horrible place to live that you would probably never want to visit, and yet makes it entirely watchable:

Good visual/sound design and character development, plus write scenes that require being in the world but don't need to stop action for any amount of time to explain them
As a writer do you have any theory for why/how something like this with minimal exposition can make you feel like you understand the fictional world you're in in such a short time that's basically all action set pieces?

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.

Process photos can look cheesy or not "finished", like this one I took, but seeing the actual photos Alicia Rose took... wow! Some amazing stuff. And started shooting vids for the hidden QR codes in the book. (All of this is for Area X: The Southern Reach Files (Abrams Image, 2027).

Day five of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration and the Star Wraith haunts a branch. The hooded figurine, face and body made from constellations of enamelled stars, seems to float more than dangle. Oddly, the stars seem to have shifted position each time you look closely at it.
