Chaos at #Trump #inauguration! A poorly tethered decorative stuffed crocodile broke free and crushed the would-be dictator moments before he was due to be sworn in. Stay tuned for further details.

The true meaning of Christmas is watching great films, obviously. So, I've put a lot of thought (far too much) into making this list, and checking it twice. I can (and will, aggressively) defend each pick, and omission 🎁🎄

Billionnaires stole your living.

Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion.

Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.

Read this thread and comply. Otherwise your Christmas will be rubbish and you'll fail all of your new year's resolutions. This isn't an idle threat, it's just how things will unfold if you ignore this very reasonable request...

This year, the world feels bleaker to me than it ever has before. But one thing I'm beyond proud of is having released Murder for Dummies: my (now multi award winning!) horror-comedy murder mystery series, made entirely independently with my friends.

As well as receiving Best Web Series at the New York Shorts Awards a couple of weeks ago, now we can claim Best Cinematography from Stareable!

Hooray and thank you!

Most folks just want to live their lives in peace with enough to sustain those lives and have some extra for perfectly reasonable creative/leisure pursuits, and it really sucks that a tiny cabal of sociopaths are like, "no because I have to win the fake numbers game (and I'm mad I'll still die)!"
