I have straight-up told two clients at this point that I charge more to edit an AI draft than to just write the whole thing myself, and they are positively confounded by this, but in both cases they ended up just paying me the usual rate to write the whole thing myself.

And they continue to claim that “half the country” voted for Trump. It was 22% of the population. Just 22%.
They’re still saying celebrities can’t have political opinions after they elected their TV celebrity a second time and after knowing he rapes children.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

Working on the forthcoming THRILLING TALES pulp TTRPG, and it’s time to break for lunch. Howsabout the Brown Derby in 1936?
Who’s up for some star gazing? When I was a kid, The Brown Derby was the be-all, end-all of classic Hollywood and that’s where we’re going today (We’ve been here before, but not in 1936) Who else is surprised we can get a $1.00 dinner?
