“Pelton said Smithsonian officials told them they covered it up because they were "afraid that somebody was going to walk by and see 'Free Palestine' on our mural and get mad and hurt us. And I'm like, 'maybe we are not the problem in that situation.'"

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

It was such a fun one to guest on! Generally speaking, I leave it to the VA/Director/Studio to announce roles so I don't get in trouble for spilling something I'm not supposed to.

Got to dip my toe into another part of the My Hero Academia universe and adapted the dub script for Episode 08 of Vigilantes! (Extra thrilled to get to introduce Captain Celebrity to the world. What a tool.)

"This feature has become very popular among people who have no imagination" is perhaps one of the best and most damning things you can say about people who use gen-AI to regurgitate artbarf as if it's anything other than digital particleboard.

Welp. It happened. Our NIH training grant was terminated on Friday.

Just highlighting this incredibly derisive language used in our termination notice.
