Not just Pinterest.

As a filmmaker, I can't even find stock photos or videos to license. Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, hell even Deviant Art is inundated with AI slop.
Problem is, most of the stuff on Pintrest is ai these days

Happy Winter Solstice, my northern friends!

This year let's usher in an age of Pagan Nationalism in the US.

Just to fuck with evangelicals. 😈
Happy Winter Solstice everyone in the northern hemisphere!

Good morning Bsky.

Ok I'm not gonna lie. I kind of hate Christmas movies. They've become tropey AF.

But tonight I watched Red One with the boys.

Guys I hate to say it but it's a really good flick.

So many awesome actors playing against type.

It's so good.

Well, #Scriptsky, my epic portal fantasy, MOONLIGHT, is fully written, complex battle scenes and all.

I think Imma let it sit and marinate for a couple of weeks, then take a final look at it before offering it up to readers.

It's still at 147 pages. Still shorter than the LOTR films 😁

I use a great program called Shot Designer for blocking. It lets you set up almost everything in the shot, including furniture, cars, actors, lighting, camera locations, etc. 1/2

AI will NEVER get me misty eyed for a damn Christmas commercial like this just did.

Absolute truth from this lady! @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

The future isn't written, kids. We can all make it what we want it to be, and I don't want it to be a future with AI slop in it.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

"Love it or hate it, the Slap Chop is here to stay!"
“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Good morning, Bsky.

Managed to catch the sunrise yesterday. It's rare that we see the water this glassy this time of year.

UPDATE UPDATE:

Ok so I jotted down some notes based on the scripts I was able to look at this morning, and I have a plan of action.

Tonight, Imma let it simmer in my liddle brain, and then tomorrow I'm attacking it the way my cat attacks a pine needle that I dragged in on my shoe. #ScriptSky
UPDATE:

Managed to very successfully completely avoid writing my battle scene by doing another edit pass on the rest of the script.

The bad news is that I think I've got the rest of the script about where I want it, so tomorrow I won't be able to avoid writing the battle scene.

#scriptsky
I have to write my epic "Helm's Deep" style battle scene today.

It will bookend my portal fantasy with the first epic battle scene.

If I ever get to direct this, I'm going old school:

Thousands of extras on an open plain.

Let's employ some people!

Hey if you're reading any of my posts, whatever I say is specifically about YOU, the reader.

You know what you did.

Just so we're clear.
"If you don't want American social media users to assume everything you say is American context, then you must tell them in every single post you're not directing it at them" is...certainly a take.

Hey @bsky.app how the hell are people able to add me to lists AFTER I've blocked them?

Also, if I block someone, I should disappear from their lists.

Lists are mostly crap. It's a device used mainly by trolls to get back at people who call them out.
December 17, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Y'all. I used an ellipsis.

I guess I'm AI now. #ScriptSky

Gil Gerard was one of my favorite actors growing up. I watched Buck Rogers RELIGIOUSLY. It was way before its time, with the first leading lady who was a certified badass in Col Wilma Deering, and a male lead who wasn't intimidated by her and who truly respected her.

RIP Gil.
