Actually I hadn't checked the pricing of Other Screenwriting Software in a while, and I notice that now the regular price for an *upgrade* there is $129.99 USD, and even on sale it's more than...the cost of a new copy of Fade In, for which updates are free.
If you’re thinking of buying Final Draft… save a load of cash and buy Fade In instead. It’s a 5th of the price, upgrades are free forever, and it works so much better (and looks nicer):
Fade In version 5 is coming! And as we all wait patiently for a response from an unnamed trillion-dollar company in order to move ahead, I figured I might as well rattle off some of the coming features, for anyone who's missed them.

Trump is using his crypto company to hijack Treasury. Extraordinary reporting here. A great explainer for time to come.
It's the Trump family gambit
And the worse the economy gets, the more $$ Trump stands to make
The House has already passed 3 crypto bills that would make this horror a reality by allowing the Trump family to control the global stablecoin market
Can't stress enough how important this thread is

As we head to Election Day, for folks who voted early, thank you. I know some folks have not yet made up their minds. I am making an appeal to you.
Please do not rank Cuomo. I have worked with every single one of the candidates for mayor. I will tell you he does not like us.

This has literally never happened to anyone but an asshole.
I never met a trans person who wouldn’t forgive an honest, accidental, one-time, I-apologize misgendering. (Cuz I have and I have.)
If you keep using someone’s pronouns to hack away at them, insult them, then you’re an asshole.

@aoc.bsky.social Representative Ocasio-Cortez, I’m trying to think of a better solution to our problems than you’re announcing, forthwith, a run for Schumer’s seat. The media will cover the clash of ideologies that further illustrate what Trump is doing and why we need to fight to stop him. TYVM

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6.
Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

Will not hold my breath to see whether any Catholic priests threaten to deny Vance communion. Sanctity of life only goes so far.
JD Vance to CBS
"the US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?"

Joe Biden was happy to break “norms” and “traditions” when it came to pardoning his son, and today his whole family, and Liz Cheney, too
I wrote about the fascist party that's taking power, the deepest natural laws that they oppose, the ways that this opposition renders them fundamentally, illegitimate no matter what power they hold, and what that means for all of us.
