Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes. Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect. We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

A major part of writing is the “fiddle farting on the internet between scenes” part

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

I may be looking for work, but at least I can finally enjoy the song @madisonbateman.bsky.social and I wrote for Ashley Tisdale to sing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJTa...

RIP Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with as a little kid, the kind of roguish hero you wish would find his way into your own life. In the words of Willow, “You are great!!!”

Val Kilmer (1959–2025)

Matlock is the spiritual successor to Suits. It’s got the same feel and similar in-world stakes with different personal stakes. I’m really really loving it!

“The last several days we’ve witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They have set their sights on a full purge of anyone in government that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders.” - Sen. @wyden.senate.gov

FYI if you followed the VP account on socials because it was Kamala Harris, you’re now following VP JD Vance (barf). Might want to unfollow for your own sanity!

When the pandemic broke out, I had a stash of N95 masks in my car because of wildfires. Now I have a stash of N95s from the pandemic which I’m using for the wildfire smoke.

Many of you know that Hollywood has been hit really hard by a massive downturn in production. Animation is no different, and possibly hit harder so animation workers were already hurting. Please give what you can to animation workers on this list who lost their homes: airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG...
