My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid
“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.

When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

The PaleyFest Pluribus panel I moderated is now up on YouTube. (My favorite part comes around the 33-minute mark, where Rhea Seehorn off the cuff expertly dissects an aspect of Carol she hadn't even thought about before.)

very excited about this, awesome duo
Another Trek movie project!
With the Paramount regime change, it could be serious this time... Or not 🖖

The good news?

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) will write and direct a movie that is said to be unconnected from anything previously done. 🙏

ive been thinking about this since I walked around AnimeExpo, and walking around Lightbox really cemented it for me:
But I think more artist alley tables should have a tip jar.

there are so many artists I come across that id like to support financially, but I often have no need of any more merch

Frank Lloyd Wright's historic Ennis House has shown up in plenty of films but for me the Los Feliz marvel of Mayan Revival architecture will always be the home of Neville Sinclair in THE ROCKETEER (1991).

No room for bike facilities?
Just look under the cars.
The space is there.
On-street cyclehangars (secure, covered bike parking), but the cover is in the shape of a Range Rover. More of this please!!

One the things that stink about fake nostalgia vids is that I actually like looking at real old b roll for glimpses at vanished places.
