Connection to the users and their desire paths is the most important path of working in security and nobody goddamn does it. You are gonna make compromises. And they're all gonna be worth it. Because you understand what they want and you're gonna deliver it and they're gonna stop doing stupid shit.

My favorite example of that was in Due South, set in Chicago, filmed in Toronto, except when the characters went to Toronto, and they filmed in Chicago.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Throughout my career, all of my best work is written in fellowship and collaboration with Chinese friends and colleagues. So it’s really perverse to read about a proposed ban between American and Chinese scientists.

Every single trans writer or artist can see themselves in the story of Isabel Fall. Especially if your writing is subversive or transgressive in either way.
I can't stand the way she was treated, and I can't stand how many otherwise good people were easily tricked into attacking her.

Sitting here thinking about Isabel Fall, author of "Helicopter Story." I truly, genuinely hope she was eventually able to find SOME way to be a version of her genuine trans self. Maybe she's living offline or calling herself a different name... IDK. We failed her and I'm still angry about it.

I like how the voice cast is just a bunch of internet famous trans women and Gianni, which is to say it's totally stacked with funny people.

Much as I will always love dinosaurs, there’s something refreshing about other megafauna getting their moment in the CGI sun.
Years of work and collab with an incredible team at #BBCStudios #AppleTV @framestore.bsky.social ... involving so many camera operators, writers, producers, effects people, artists and others, #PrehistoricPlanetaIceAge is out on #AppleTV Nov 26th. A definitive vision of Ice Age wildlife worldwide.

The government has previously made reference to potentially revoking the passports of those issued this year as part of the class. Unclear if they will actually try to do so and whether the trial court will allow them to do so.
