Award-winning independent filmmaker, video producer, and former fry cook on Venus.
pinned post!
I directed a $22K indie film. We took it to festivals, won awards, and brought it to movie theaters, including the one I worked at when I was in HS. Making an indie film is a challenging and wildly rewarding experience. You can now order it on blu-ray.

Hereâs Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemiesâ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didnât like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. There was also the small matter of Jan. 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons.

The people at National Review *hate* The Bulwark because rather than being principled, taking an honest assessment of the GOP, and acting accordingly, NRO just pretends it's spring 2012 and a Romney win in November will turn it all around.

âWhen does shoplifting become an act of political protest?â Never. It never becomes a political protest. Stop trying to justify anti-societal behavior. Look here is a gift article from my paid subscription, because Iâm not an anti-societal loon.

Tim Cook did a phenomenal job as a steward of one of the best companies of all time. He took Apple into new heights products and incredible. services. But this crap is the final cap on an impressive career. A total unforced error and blemish on an otherwise impressive legacy. It sucks.

The press is going to enjoy pitting Dune Part 3 versus Avengers: Doomsday against each other because it is good for clicks. Theater owners are thrilled. The two weeks around Christmas are basically one long weekend. Plus, you have MLK weekend right after the New Year. Both films will have legs.

A ceasefire that leads to a deal in which the Iranian regime is stronger, lifts sanctions, and leaves the Strait of Hormuz in their control while the rest of the world deals with supply chain disruptions and pays more for oil is the best-case scenario. Think about that for a minute.

Pope Leo and MTG: War is evil, and this is unjust. End it now. Democrats: Let me be clear, Iâm no fan of the Iranian government. The course Trump has taken without our allies is dangerous. We expect him to wind down operations, and any funding will be limited.

I've said it before, but Francis backed Leo because Leo is a better diplomat than he was. Francis spoke off the cuff too much, and he knew it. Leo chooses his words carefully, but this is not just knowing when and how to duck. He seems to understand force and how much he can get away with.
