Shout out to everyone returning from a vacation more stressed than when you left. (Big assist from having to work during said vacation.)

LEGO Friends Heartlake Rush. The team at Mighty Kingdom was amazing, as a producer I had a mind-meld with our PM, and ideas flowed from everyone. LEGO was a great client, too.

my hottest writer take is i just do not agree with the advice of kill your darlings. i understand the intent of the advice-- you need to look at your work holistically, do not be precious or egotistical, devote yourself to making the work *good* at any cost-- but also those are your darlings

#Austim test should just be a bunch of vaguely worded questions and the assesor records how many times you say "define <word>" or get angry at it.

Also it asks if you are worried you will fail your autism test as a result.

Just one? There are three I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. Maybe four, depending on what pie.

Down Boys by Warrant. Those monkeys typed Hamlet.

The "filler" episodes are why shows are beloved. No one remembers TNG's various Klingon arcs, they remember Picard's alternate lifetime and Crusher's ghost sex.

Most alien episodes of THE X-FILES are a slog to get through, but the filler eps are so good I still rewatch the series every few years.

Gonna have to assume executive salaries are pumping that average up beyond the realm of usefulness.

I mean, can’t argue against it, but I have a few I probably like a bit more personally. But I think it’s the most Australian great Australian movie for sure.

I just watched Wake In Fright a few weeks ago, so good.

So many people fall into the trap of thinking that the people who make their entertainment are wealthy and powerful.
The people who make your entertainment likely earn less than you. All that money you spend on big games goes to a handful of very rich people who couldn’t make a game of tic-tac-toe.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Believe me, this is as ridiculous as it sounds. But the Flyers' goaltending is keeping them in this game.

I feel like it's just confirmation. They've been able to skate so far because even though everyone knows, there's been no action because the smoking gun wasn't there. I would be surprised if there was something we're not already talking about.

I think it’s like all the other instances of enshittification. They think they will become the only option and we will choose their bastardized version over not having our pop culture at all.

That's true, but he's also playing in the AFC East during Brady's run. In any other city he'd be #1.

The most perplexing thing is that it comes at the end of a game overstuffed with risk-averse giveups on 3rd and long.

Ruiz will drop him down to only three spots above Hurts.
