I use slash marks β€œ//β€œ to mark anything in a script that is still temporary or that I want to remember to review. Then I can easily search for those places.

Maybe? Or maybe I've just seen the illusion before and know the trick? But I just see those right-side-up eyes!

It doesn’t look normal at all! It’s messed up from the jump.

The Future of 'Star Trek' Comics Is Ready for a New Next Generation (Exclusive) Welcome Captain Seven of Nine aboard the 'Enterprise' with IDW's new 'Star Trek' comic.

At last I can talk about it! I'm writing a Star Trek comic!!!!

All I can tell you right now is it takes place several years after the end of Picard. And it stars Captain Raffi Musiker working with a giant positronic brain to protect the Federation from future threats!

This Princeton University Art Museum photo shows a blackware ceramic figurine of two stylised dogs which look as if they are dancing. They are standing upright on their hind legs, facing each other, their front legs raised, with paws resting against each other. The dog on the left has its face turned towards the viewer, with snout slightly raised and seeming to smile. The dog on the right, rests its raised snout against the cheek of its partner. The figures are rounded and smooth with short legs, pointed snouts, pointed ears, and short curved tails. Their bodies are decorated with incised lines, which according to the museum, represent folds of skin, indicating that these canines are Mexican hairless dogs.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Like 10yrs ago I was telling my husband how much food to feed our cat, Sam: "He gets two cans β€” Because he's Two Can Sam πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€" & he didn't laugh & I'm bitter about it to this day.

I've been saying it for almost 6 months now, but the Democratic should have a standing daily press conference where they bring forth yesterday's victims of ice.

Every single day we aren't putting a victim of ice in front of the media. We're losing a day

"Kathy, I'm lost", I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America…

I just learned today that Midnight Train to Georgia was originally about a Midnight Plane to Houston and lacked everything that makes us love it.
