Definitely him.

Feeling this quote pretty hard today. Incredible amounts of preparation, and a big thing still didn't go right. Not to say that that there were not things to learn from it, because there most definitely were. Gonna take a knee on today, but right back up tomorrow to get back after it.

This moody little film is easily Top 3 of 2024 for me. It's got a little more polish than the director's previous feature, Caveat, but still oozing with dread. #IHFCFeed

A fairly large, reputable website just asked me to make sure my email address is correct in their system by... sending an email. 100% some executive required this email to be sent over objections from every rational person in the meeting. (It's not a phishing scam. Actual email from the company.)

That tree has one hell of an agent.

Discussing the Rogue One sequel that hits theaters tonight.

I see Sean and Tiffany in that crowd, love those two! WGASTRONG!

The last piece of my Hellfire Club starter kit arrived, @jaketapper.bsky.social (For those unfamiliar, the paperbacks in this picture are ARCs, Advanced Review Copies. I have a small collection of ARCs from authors I enjoy and couldn't resist grabbing these when I saw they were available.)

nontechnical version: this is a big deal + huge step for transparency! most companies keep their code private/proprietary, but bc ours is public, you can literally see every implementation (how we make buttons blue, how mute lists work, etc) & what we're working on at any given moment

Arnold leaving the dumpster fire that is Twitter behind.

I would kill for an ALF doll right now, but Tyrion will have to do. Testing real-time virtual production with green cardboard and action figures!

Had some things to do today, so I wasn't on Bluesky much. Apparently Animorphs took over while I was gone? Have we seen any ALF-Animorphs crossovers yet?

The Good Samaritan, as we all know, is the story Jesus told about a man who murdered a beggar because he found the beggar rude, and then the Samaritan was praised and protected by occupying Roman Legionnaires, which Jesus said was good and right and not antithetical to his whole deal.

I am always saying all of this

From the "needs no introduction" category...

Hell yeah! Filmmaker, author, Mohawk/sentient beard aficionado, decent human being, and all around weirdo @michaeljepstein.bsky.social has entered that chat.Everybody give Michael a follow and check out his filmography on Letterboxd or IMDB.

I was thinking about using the new Bluesky Feed Generator project to write a custom algo for all ALF related posts, but I think it might just be easier to direct people to @faineg.bsky.social's post and replies feed instead.

@theonion.com went hard today. Almost as hard as CNN failed yesterday.

⚡️ Now ready for development: custom algorithms! We've put together a starter kit with instructions on how to implement your own custom algorithm here. https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

Between this and the haunted moon skeet, I'm becoming concerned that the moon is in dire need of gun control.

Me: That's it, I absolutely can not buy any more books for a while, I am done. Me: *buys 4 books* Two of them were Jake Tapper books, though, so I feel justified.

While there is absolutely no way I can keep up with the professional shitposters, I've definitely found a niche as a strategic tactical commenter.

I like how my Bluesky browser tab just says "Home", because I guess it kinda is now.

OMG 🤣👏🏼😂👏🏼✊🏼 @levarburton.bsky.social

Toldja!!! Everybody give a warm welcome to the one and only LeVar Burton! ❤️🖖🏼👍🏼

I can see the What's Hot tone has moved to more serious discussions this morning. I can work with this.

Cat tax paid. Mittens says "what is that you're pointing at me?"

Going to post a little about some of the films I've directed or produced. This one is a favorite. Haven's End (2020) Featuring Catherine Taber (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Hannah Fireman (V/H/S), the film is an exercise in genre-mixing with the paranoia overtones of Carpenter's The Thing.

Even if I were the nicest, wisest benevolent dictator to ever grace the face of the earth (and I can make no guarantees about that), the companies that run social platforms outlast individual leadership. This public square would inevitably be ruined like any other.

"There's something about bad films. They leave something in you. There’s some residue of it still inside you." Steve Dollar talks to Austrian artist J. Grenzfurthner about human-blood sausage and his new film RAZZENNEST. https://keyframe.fandor.com/interview-johannes-grenzfurthner-on-razzennest

Something something nice Chianti and some fava beans

This is where I skeet from

@pfrazee.com throwing grenades this morning like:

Totally forgot I have this, I have failed the skeet gods.

This is no longer just one scandal, or a simple partisan dispute. This is an earthquake for the Article 3 branch of government. Silence will not work. A full explanation, and a fulsome reform, is the only way forward.

Alf actually is in the movie... sort of.

Is it wrong to use potential Bluesky invites to win arguments on other social media sites? Asking for a me.

In honor of GotG v3 hitting wide release tonight:

May the 4th be with you. Hide your cats.
