Can we give around of applause for Shawn Lsp Patterson nomination for “Best Actor” for his performance as Mike Hanlon in my fan version of IT? Not bad for our first collaboration together.

Congratulations my brother!

Meanwhile at the Republican youth conference. I guess, boys will be boys. Fuck off with that noise!

WOW! Really Facebook and TikTok? Just because I’m calling out your bullshit?

It is worth noting that I no longer have concerns about this matter. Since the Trump administration has taken office, they’ve been censor specific creators, while hate speech continues to proliferate unchecked.

Within the Shadows has completed the 11th day of filming with a rather impressive performance by Shannon Mindlin-Hamermesh and later on today with Brian Heintz as one of the testimonials for the Louise Belmount court house reel.

I'm reluctant to post videos like this because it may damage my reputation and make me seem desperate, but I don't see another option and I know my worth.

They have done it again. Dark Fortress Pictures LLC will no longer be associated with TikTok. Instead, it has become the video equivalent of X, formerly known as Twitter.

It took me two solid months to convert my spare bedroom into a brand new editing studio and sound booth. I started by stripping the carpet with a heavy-duty cleaner on Friday after work to give the room a fresh look, and the next day I plan to build my new desk so I can start working from here.
