Dad to 3, TV writer to thee

pinned post!
Hi. I’m Eric. Writer of the medium formerly known as television. My current project is an audio drama for Audible (non-IP, based on an original idea of mine), set to be released sometime in the very near future. My next project after that is…who knows! Will linear time even continue exist anymore!?!

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

The ultimate irony? These AI grifters might not have a creative bone in their bodies, but they are VERY good at convincing richer people to give them money sight-unseen. They could be pretty good producers if they weren’t so hellbent on boiling away all the world’s fresh water

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

This is the worst possible, least journalistic, framing for this story. I don’t care what the actual content of the piece is, it’s not getting a click from me.

When the conservative party holds most positions of power, and nihilism/notoriety shooters target power, then the stochastic attacks will appear left-wing as a matter of course.
