Working in Hollywood feels like treading on quicksand these days BUT sometimes you get to work on cool projects with even cooler people. Huge congrats to directors @maggiekang.bsky.social & Chris Appelhans and the whole team over at SPA on the release of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, now streaming on Netflix!

I strongly echo everything in this article and would just add: what is even the point of engineering these animals, other than for the PR stunt.
I wrote about how irritated I am by the latest Colossal misrepresentation.

Everything about this "dire wolf de-extinction" stinks of a cheap PR stunt and is emblematic of why we can't rely for a second on tech bros to address climate change and conservation in any meaningful way.

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story.
Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.

Put together a spreadsheet of Hollywood #crew fundraisers for crew members affected by the #LAFires. If you can give, please do. If you can't, please share! Our crews have had a horrible 5 years, and to start off 2025 with this level of destruction is unimaginable.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was the perfect show to binge while sick and resting at home (but maybe I watched it too quickly...) Wonderful animation, worldbuilding, emotional turns. My only complaint is some of the humor felt out of place.

I wrote a little essay about what birding has done for me in the very short time since I became a birder.

How am I just now learning that Devery Jacobs was also a writer (and director) on Reservation Dogs? And that she wrote the wonderful S3 episode where Elora meets her dad? So much talent in one person!!
