One thing that makes me so proud of the Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld writing team is that the main characters make *so many* bad decisions - but those decisions are always rooted in what they’ve been through and where they’re at.

Everything came down to how they would react, how they would feel.

I cannot properly describe just how much I dislike the modern, social media-driven job market.

10 years of soul-crushing dating app usage and now that's how we're doing job applications too?

I hate the inauthenticity of it all so much. "Dehumanizing" doesn't do it justice.

Here's my game awards prediction:

Luigi Mangione's personal politics are irrelevant to the material truth that class solidarity and class struggle transcend the right/left divide when we simply shut up for a few seconds and remember that this is about healthcare, not him.

Also Elder Scrolls VI.

I’ve worked in adult, kids + preschool in a variety of styles, even Looney Tunes, but because I have the most experience in adult, that’s what people usually hire me for. What I’d really like to work on is uplifting shows for girls or magical girls /fantasy etc. if you have a show like that pick me.

Ok but hear me out: what if we could have both?

It’s harder than ever to get original animated shows released. If you want to show Netflix that they should keep making shows like Jentry, you have to literally show them by watching it.

Being - and staying - in the Top 10 (as we are!) helps. So does clicking the 👍👍/“love this” button.

Really good from @therafischwartz.bsky.social about pushing past the Luigi Mangione sleuthing frenzy to get to the real issue: that our healthcare system is so fucked up, and we hate it so much, that we've turned him into a hero. www.discourseblog.com/p/luigi-mang...
Luigi Mangione Is Not the Issue Here
Instead of worshiping him or stuffing him into an ideological box, let's focus on fixing the inhumane society that shaped him.

Netflix’s parameters for producing more of a show are kept secret. We don’t know what - if anything - will make them decide to renew the show. Nothing is *guaranteed* to work.

But we want this show to be as undeniable as we have the power to make it, so we can tell more of Jentry’s story.

Just watched the first episode of Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld - what a strong start! I knew I'd like it, but this is spectacular so far. Absolutely cannot wait to see where it goes~

Congratulations!

Look at that, I already doubled my follower count. If I keep this up, it'll only take me a month to exceed the population of earth!

Rewatching Heroes (just season 1) after nearly 20 years. Some of it doesn't hold up, especially now that I'm a writer and I'm familiar with some of the bad practices, but it's shockingly compelling.

And for anyone who wants to be furious, it was *23* episodes long. Each 45 minutes. What an era.

Someday I will meet a human being who doesn't flip a 180 from being totally (self-admittedly) smitten with me to finding "red flags," like touch plants in a conservatory (not the ones that say not to) or missing a voice call once in two months.

This year I’ve been swinging between passionately wanting to create and enjoying the beauty of the world around me and attempting to fight back nihilism as I watch execs destroy the works of thousands of people. Wheeee!

Layoffs as they are done now, are scientifically proven to be unprofitable and IMO a symptom of the brain rot cause by, and fetishization, of 'tough decision making'

and when I say scientifically proven, check out this segment from the really eye-opening write-up from HBR: hbr.org/2022/12/what...
