A bunch of us watched reels and breakdowns of the best visual effects from the movies of 2025 and the work is SO GOOD this year. Kudos to everyone who participated in the VFX Academy bake-off. Just astounding work.

I'm n a hotel room, watching "Three's Company" on some cable channel that speeds up the episodes to allow for more commercials and also stretched to 16:9, living my best life.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.
i cannot tell you how often i think back to MASH when writing. that ability to walk the line between humor and the darkest of humanity, yet never truly cross over into making light of it OR hopelessness--even though it toys with those things, too--is the line i strive for
