Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This is the final scene of THE PENGUIN, and one of my favorite sets. We took over a modern loft on the 33rd floor of a downtown historical building, and transformed it into a decayed hotel ballroom. I wanted OZ /The Penguin to be watched by the angry Harpies witnessing his murderous ascend to power.

Congratulations to this exceptional human being and actor! He thanked craft service next to our showrunner, Lauren LeFranc. If this production design thingy doesn’t work out for me, I know where to try next!! #ThePenguin

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

This year I'm grateful for THE PENGUIN and the opportunity to create a Trolley Depot, which I named the 'working man's cathedral'. I'm grateful for Lauren for writing this set, and for the incredible art and set decorating departments, which brought every detail to life. HAPPY DAY OF GRATITUDE!

Okay but hear me out:
A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.
