The Trump administration is doubling down on getting rid of Kilmar by using an actual multi-deported criminal with a felony record as their main witness to testify against Kilmar. He gets to stay and be set free for testifying.

Hoping this isn't too late for California's film and tv industry. I'm generally not a fan of film/tax incentives because it's always a race to the bottom. However, tax incentives in CA and NY have been proven to be beneficial, vs how they work in most other states.

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to their billionaire donors. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

I feel this in my bones. As a professional #VFX artist who worked on one of the greatest IPs in entertainment, namely #StarTrek #Picard Season 3, this was quite the thing.

It's interesting that neither Fanhome or even STO has a 100% accurate version of the 25th century nacelles on the Stargazer, Titan-A/Enterprise G, and Duderstadt. They all lack the grid texture on the dark areas of the nacelles. #StarTrek

Because I haven't posted anything #StarTrek related in a while, here's a breakdown of the destruction of the #Shrike from #Picard Season 3! #VFX

During one of my rants against Trump back in 2016/2017 with my family, I was asked why I hated him so much. My reply: because he's everything I was raised NOT to be. He is a person I would never interact with willingly, nor would want anyone I cared about to interact with. He's a garbage human.

America is going to fall because millions of morons/gullible idiots thought voting in an idiot/moron who hires even bigger idiots/morons was a better idea than extremely qualified women.

This is the best description of America. Specifically Trump supporters.

Ya know I would really be excited and highly entertained once the MAGAts realize their mistake as everything crumbles around them, if only it didn't affect everyone else. I'm actually gonna be okay. They're the ones who're gonna suffer, and I didn't want that for them, but this will be on them.

I'm willing to bet that if I "waved", the same way Elon did, people would call me a Nazi. Stop making excuses for the dude, because you'll end up looking like a Nazi sympathizer.
January 22, 2025 at 9:48 PM
Okay. So this is where we're at now. Look yo, if he intended to do it, okay, he's a Nazi. If he didn't, then he's a moron for not know what it is.

Republicans want to put conditions on disaster relief for California. Because Republicans are absolute pieces of shit.

These fires are hitting close to home, figuratively and literally. LA is my home. 40 of my 46 years of life I've lived here. I've spent countless hours and as many miles cycling through Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

For my friends not in the LA area and/or not up on the details they're likely hearing on the news or social media:

- No, the Los Angeles Fire Department budget was not cut by 17M. Their final budget was approved separately in November, and they got $50M MORE money over the previous year.

Kinda weird how people blame politicians for climate conditions. It's not Newsom or Bass' fault that the fires started.

I will never forget what happened on January 6, 2021. It was the perfect showcase of how dangerous and deadly stupid people can be. Today was a pretty uneventful day at the Capitol. Why? Because we weren't a bunch of morons that got conned into believing the election was stolen.

Happy New Year y'all! Doing some new year computer cleaning, and I found this lovely gem from #StarTrek #Picard Season 3. These are all the different AOVs for the Titan-A and the Eleos. I worked with our comp supervisor to figure out what AOVs they needed and here they are! #VFX

2025 goal: Watch all the original TOHO releases of every #Godzilla movie in Japanese (with English subtitles of course). I've seen nearly all of them, but there are gaps, and all dubbed in whatever form they were aired in the 80s.

The GOP cut $190M for Pediatric Cancer Research from the latest funding bill. That's next level assholery.
