“The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year.” WTF.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

I’m still seeing so much outpouring about David Lynch, but no one seems to point to his art within sound design. He was deeply involved in the sound design of all of his film projects, sometimes being the sole sound designer. (1/2)

@mrblackfrancis.bsky.social Thanks for powering through a great show last night in Chicago, I know you were getting sicker by the minute. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Oh fuck, not Lynch. Dammit. I used to have a ringtone (purchased through his site), of his voice yelling "Damn! What the hell? What the hell?!" Damn. Thank you for so much art, sir. Thank you for messing me up in the best way.

Reading Gaiman's "Breaking the Silence" blog post from this morning. Yeah, I think there are quite a few people who do not want to turn their back on the truth, Neil. If you are providing someone with a paycheck and/or shelter, having that person take care of your kid, I think that warps "consent."

"Be proud of yourself and your achievements" should really be something we all embrace here in the next decade. Shit's gonna get real fucked up, and now is the time to be your own cheerleader. We are goddamn heroes for getting up every day, let alone doing all the rest. Time is ticking. Enjoy living

@chuckwendig.bsky.social I am SO digging your “Idea Thunderdome” from the dad podcast! For me, it’s more a case of “two thoughts enter, no thoughts leave,” but this all boosts aspirations.

I guess the take-home from A Christmas Carol is that you can be an absolutely self-absorbed asshat Elon your entire life but if you start dancing around like you ate a dozen edibles and paying people off with giant roast birds and non-retroactive raises then it's all good. God bless us, everyone!

My out of office this year, as every year, includes the implied message of “go fuck yourself” along with the overt message of “happy holidays.” It’s a delicate balance.
