In case anyone was wondering. Xfinity is actively preventing me from connecting to service with my new internet company over a bill that they shouldn’t have charged me for.

Then you perceive the body of our kingdom
How foul it is, what rank diseases grow,
And with what danger, near the heart of it.

“if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only”

When people cheer on the dismantling of DEI, the first thing they say is “great…hire people by merit.” But DEI programs are about allowing minority and marginalized groups a chance, not giving it to them just because of diversity. It’s sad to see so many companies abandoning it so quickly. #dei

Shakespeare has a quote for everything, including the current president, and I will die on this hill.

To quote Jason from The Good Place: It was dope.
On Monday, we got a couple dozen artists together to perform a play about the Jane Collective to a sold out audience that included friends, strangers, and 3 former Janes. And we raised over $3,000 for Chicago Abortion Fund and Planned Parenthood.

I’m willing to risk a lot. In my art and otherwise.
What are you willing to risk to maintain your values? #couchwisdom

This is what being an artist means to me, in an industry that often relies on process rather than product.
I had rather give my body than my soul.

As far as I'm concerned, if keeping your vision for your film under budget requires A.I., you're admitting to the world that you suck at creative problem-solving.
