You ever think about how internet atheists used to use quotes from Jesus about not eating shelfish to say the Bible is out of date and now Christians use quotes from Jesus about empathy to say the Bible is out of date?

hello I'm doing a podcast

If you’ve talked to me for even just a couple minutes, I’ve probably told you how much I love Andor, so now I’ve started a podcast to keep talking about it! Recording this has been so fun and I can’t wait to go on this journey with all of you. Check out our first episode now!

John Redcorn was pretty much the only contemporary Native representation I had in comedy growing up. Probably the funniest Native character in cartoon history and a lot of that was on Jonathan Joss' pitch perfect rezzy uncle performance. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

As the resident millennial in the White House, you know JD is dropping some atrocious gifs in this signal chat

KAIJU KID will be stomping through Ohio to play at the amazing Athens International Video & Film Festival on Saturday 4/12 as a part of the Saturday Morning Cartoons block This is one of our best independent film festivals in the country and I am so proud to be a part of it!

KAIJU KID is stomping through America and Cleveland is next to get smashed by our strange stop motion beast. We’re playing on April 5 as a Saturday Morning Cartoon which is a real dream come true. I can’t wait to see where we get to destroy next 🛕🦖

Bluesky gets it first: The official trailer for Kaiju Kid! Want to see more? Buy a ticket to our upcoming premiere at the anti-ai film festival CREDO 23 on 3/30! (or you can dm me and ask nicely for a link)

Do you want to see a trailer for Kaiju Kid? 👀

Just remembering that some people’s reaction to CIVIL WAR was “those states would never split into those configurations.” Amazing stuff.

A dream factory is still a factory – and it’s time for Hollywood workers to start acting like it. Join DSA-LA's Hollywood Labor THIS SUNDAY to discuss the state of the industry and how we can fix it! New and not-yet-members are welcome. RSVP at dsa.la/hl0202.

I'm proud to share that following our premiere at LA Animation Festival, Kaiju Kid will be screening at the inaugural edition of the CREDO 23 Film Festival!

I cannot overstate how good it feels to watch this clip

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but most of these fires are caused by our electrical wires right? Is there not a way to build an electrical grid that doesn’t blow up half the county once a year?

Just saw a post from a new AI startup that links together 4 different AI LLMs “for the best results” so we are fully entering the era of robots talking to robots. 4 times the energy use for, what, a 10% improvement at best?

We're playing again in LA next Friday 1/12 at Silver Lake Shorts! Come check it out at the El Cid along with a bunch of other hilarious stuff

Kicking off 2025 by launching The Left Wing, a West Wing (1999-2006) rewatch newsletter where I examine the show from a leftist lens! If you like network TV or politics or both, this is the newsletter for you! I hope you’ll read & subscribe!!! open.substack.com/pub/leftwing/p…

2024 has been a year of many highs & lows, and it's ending with one more: I was a semi-finalist for the NBC TV Writing Program Definitely bummed I didn't make it further but it's a nice sign of how much I've grown as a writer since I first started submitting to these to get this far. Now onto 2025!

I fought the American Cinemateque's website and I won (got tix for the New Years Day screening of Megalopolis with a 90 Minute Interactive Discussion with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola)

Alert! I need testimonials! Have you watched our charming #frogandtoad series on AppleTV+ ? If so, could you please post a little something about what the show means to you (and your kids)? It's for important reasons. Please share.

It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines. After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.

Kaiju Kid won silver for "Best Combo/Mixed Media" at the LA Animation Film Festival. Can I get a "hell ya"?

I've discovered a new cheat code to make writing a script very fun: imagine Connor O'Malley is playing one of your characters

Exclusive breaking news for BlueSky: Luigi Mangione is a Ganon main

I've decided that I believe the FBI is planting evidence on this guy. They have a “break in case of emergency” collection of paranoid loners all over this great nation that they can pin any crime on when the real culprit disappears.

It’s pretty clear that Biden thinks his son is the only person alive who was unfairly prosecuted for his crimes. Everyone else deserves to be in prison.

Here's a joke that's time traveled from 2022: Lydia Tar's Spotify Wrapped 1. Lydia Tár 2. Akihiko Narita (Monster Hunter: Worlds composer) 3. Marika Suzuki (Monster Hunter 4 composer) 4. Leonard Bernstein 5. Masato Kouda (Monster Hunter 1 composer)

The Animation Guild MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) is now available online to read in full: www.tagnegotiations2024.com/read-the-moa

From my pov, the only way you will ever be able to guarantee a living wage as an animation writer will be to enlist one (1) celebrity into your project and convince them WGA coverage is in their best interest

Telling my wife I bought Balatro and will no longer have time for anything else

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

I threatened to do it yesterday, so here it is: andor scenes as dril tweets

“Yes it’s ugly and not very good and it’s half of a movie but it’s also amazing and I love it and it needs to win every Oscar.” - every Letterboxd review of Wicked

A friend ended up in some bad seats at the movies so here’s Rusteen’s Official LA Movie Theater Seating Guide: Vista: Middle rows Los Feliz 3: Back rows Egyptian: Literally anywhere, although center section aisle is preferable to side section (less people walk past for bathroom)
