My job is to meet the smartest people on the planet and ask them what they’d like to rethink from the ground up, and also if there’s a good lunch spot nearby that they’d recommend.
Watching these two cats watch a (mostly invisible) bug is just as good as anything on TV right now.

Stay free, Monkeys. Or at least avoid Florida.

Absolute Wonder Woman by @kellythompson.bsky.social is the best comic published by DC now.

Even though it’s set in a universe dominated by Darkseid, the literal god of fascism, it delivers a Diana who is more … delightful? Kind? Patient?

It plays against expectations, and delivers on every level.

Someone told me today that they now sell single servings of olives.

I said “yes, they’re called ‘cans.’”

Today’s wildlife sightings on my walk include two coyotes and two owls. Auspicious!

These "security questions" are too vague. I'd like to suggest some better ones.

Please Select One:
The Last Place You Remember Feeling Happy
A Childhood Friend Who Was Tragically Killed By Bees
The Reason You Quit Trying
An Ex Who Won't Answer Your Calls
Your First Felony
Your First Misdemeanor

I got really excited when I saw this photo of Sam Altman … because I thought it was a set photo of Plastic Man in an upcoming DC movie. @jamesgunn.bsky.social - please make this real.

Without their knowledge or consent, I have adopted these baby owls I see on my morning walk. They are my children now, along with two cats and a human child. Adore them.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with one more source of inspiration for this project!  One of my favorite books from Alastair Reynolds: Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days.  Alastair Reynolds is an author who will throw one wild idea at you after another without slowing down.

On my morning walk I always try to spot the owls in the park on my route. Lately they've been hard to find, but today was an Owl Day. 🦉

I've been scouting for locations for my short film, which is set in a dystopian near future. The setting was inspired by the aftermath of the Dixie Fire, and it looks like we'll be filming in the San Bernadino National Forest, which was ravaged by the Line Fire.

Here's a build progression for Scout Drone from my upcoming film - starting with a pencil sketch, I modeled it in #cinema4D and now it's being built full size.
