Senator Maggie Hassan: “So, Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus?” Secretary Kristi Noem: “Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the President has to be able to remove people from this country.” Also, “War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.” #Doublespeak

I am saddened to read of Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis with metastasis. Add to that the nonstop coverage of the tsk-tsk book about his mental state during his term, co-authored by erstwhile journalist Jake Tapper, and seriously, that family cannot catch a break.

Saw this while driving yesterday. My immediate thought: "too late."

It’s always nice when someone remembers an episode I wrote. (Thanks, James!) Static Shock was one of the highlights of my animation career.

My favorite curmudgeon, Keith Olbermann, made a sobering point in the A-Block of his most recent podcast. It's worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

As Russia's war against #Ukraine intensifies, #PorcelainWar is essential viewing. Part art film-part war movie, it underscores humanity's creative spirit & careless cruelty. Slava Leontyev, one of its filmmaker-"stars," and US director Brendan Bellow did a Q&A after. See this Oscar-worthy film ASAP.

According to a disturbing article in @theatlantic.com, many tech companies are scraping dialog from TV and film scripts to train their AI, using The OpenSubtitles Data Set. I ran a search and found some of my most popular scripts. Glad you like the writing, guys, and I mean that sarcastically.

Math is hard. Facts don't matter. This is nuts. ~ Not ‘War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength’ from "Nineteen Eighty-Four," but close. bsky.app/profile/owas...

Thanks to the brilliant @billwearsties.bsky.social for posting this and underscoring the point that the WGA now covers kids and family animation. This is a major milestone.

So, this just happened. Sad, but necessary.

In an attempt to formally introduce myself here on Bluesky as I exit The Bad Place, here's a podcast interview I did back in April 2024. In it, I discuss my work on the Justice League series and other writing career highlights, including my “origin story." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...
