Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

I built the streaming service @circuitcinema.com to give indie filmmakers a fair shot & viewers an alternative to the oligarchy. I coded all the mobile & TV apps myself. Oh, and I directed the first live-action VR360 TV series.

OH: if vaccines caused autism, we’d have way more trains in the United States

Thrilled to see our vision for platform expansion coming to life. It’s a testament to the power of a lean, focused team with the right architectural approach. Now, on to the next milestone in bringing Circuit Cinema to 95% of connected screens worldwide.

Like Apple TV+, @circuitcinema.com has raised prices in the US and other countries. The difference is that 0% of your subscription fee goes to bribes, donations, kickbacks, or gold offerings to Dear Leader, and 100% of it supports the important work of independent film artists around the world.

DGA ADs must have blocked this scene.

I hate to break it to you, but a single person anywhere in the world can make a film without AI.

Picture this as a moment in one of Shakespeare’s history plays.

WHO'S THE BIGGEST GOLF CHEAT? Judge Smails from Caddyshack, James Bond villain Goldfinger, or Donald J. Trump. Play the video...

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

police departments should be required to: 1. carry *private* liability insurance 2. that insurance should be priced at market rate 3. failing to carry that insurance should decertify the whole department

This is top notch book cover design.

Happy birthday to Stanley Kubrick, one of auteurist cinema's greatest cat lovers. When he went to Ireland to film Barry Lyndon, Kubrick left daughter Katharina a 15-page memo on how to take care of the cats. ♥️ #Caturday (shown here on the set of A Clockwork Orange, 1971)

Ok, fine, I can't resist. You did say any show: Capt: Robin Lefler (TNG) 1st/science: Spock (TOS) Doc: Carol Marcus (TWoK) Sec: Voqha (The Experience) Eng: Reginald Barclay (TNG) Nav: Sulu (TOS) Lounge: Kel (Paramount's Kings Island)

i’m finding it requires more and more cognitive dissonance to enjoy indulgences as the fascism becomes increasingly omnipresent and suffocating

If you know any aspiring, young filmmakers, please encourage them to apply for this workshop — brought to you by the fine folks at Sag Harbor Cinema and NBC Universal. 🙏🏼 sagharborcinema.org/summer-filmm...

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD. Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

In non-apocalyptic news, listening to NIN's Pretty Hate Machine after some time, and every single track is a banger. Such a good album.

Fun day at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social supporting indie film and seeing another great performance by @itsmeredithjackson.bsky.social in Still Smiling, produced by Luna Zhang.

Really important. So many people die needlessly every year in the water. Please share.

Everyone has a take on AI these days and here's mine. www.linkedin.com/pulse/managi...

Capitalizing Every Word Of A Post May Be The Most Tedious Kind Of Internet Crazy To Be Afflicted With

i will defend the em dash until the day i die, it sucks that it's gotten associated with bad llm writing

We are not 5 years away from colonizing the galaxy! However, we are very close to having AI that can flawlessly replicate tech CEO bullshit, freeing all of society's resources that are currently being channeled towards extremely expensive human-powered word salad

Passing thought today: “When I was a boy, world was better spot What was so was so, what was not was not Now, I am a man, world have changed a lot Some things nearly so, others nearly not” The King and I - A Puzzlement

The AI bros aren't good at anything creative and resent everyone who is. Their dream is, "type in a prompt and make the movie/album/picture you want." Sure, that'd be neat, but I want art *better* than I could've thought of. That'll only come from people better than me at making the art.

This is a great film; timely and important, but also entertaining with some memorable performances. Happy to see it win.

(TechCrunch) - Anthropic’s newly launched Claude Opus 4 model frequently tries to blackmail developers when they threaten to replace it with a new AI system and give it sensitive information about the engineers responsible for the decision .. @techcrunch.com techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/a...

Amber Scorah and Psst are building a “digital safe” to help people shine a light on the bad things their bosses are doing, without getting found out. www.wired.com/story/amber-...

I don't think I'll ever forgive baseball for this.

My VR TV series is almost done...

Hey artist friends, after my weekend at the art book fair I think you might need to hear this: STOP worrying if your art is good or bad, just make fucking art.

Why are Dems—champions of every major policy advance since the New Deal—so deeply wedded to status-quo, poll-tested politics? The answer lies in Stafford Beers' 5-level Viable Systems Model: They lack Systems 4 & 5 dealing with future coordinating it with present. 1/25 www.salon.com/2025/05/10/w...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

“The world you move through was built by people who thought sideways. Who flapped their hands or didn’t look you in the eye. Who were told they were too much, or not enough, or broken in ways the world hadn’t bothered to understand. Neurodivergent minds imagined the future. And then invented it.”

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

This is as good as it gets #teslatakedown

A tariff on foreign production would be a tariff on practically the only films that the cultural elite can still bear to watch.

This is not the future Gene Roddenberry hoped for

declaring a moratorium on “I bet you could get Trump to do X” posts, the risk is too great

I hesitate to even take seriously this threat of tariffs on non-US films, but fyi, deals are often expressed as percentages. If we pay a rightsholder 50%, then have to pay another 50% in tariffs, I'm out of business. Raising prices won't help. And no, I will not let 🤡 tell me what films I can carry.

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan. (thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)
