The pine dome scene is something I spent way too much time on sound design.
Or maybe not? You be the judge.
Also, rate and review Jesse’s Lockbox Anthology if you’ve enjoyed it so far.
There will be a Q&A at the end of the series. Send all questions to [email protected]

Burned a bunch of tree limbs and smoked some tobacco tonight/this morning.
Started at 1am.
I just know the neighbors are confused by my nocturnal firebug habits.
I don’t sleep right. I’m sorry. The last couple of nightmares have been really gruesome. And the doom counter on my job did not help.

I’m good, by the by. Just flummoxed.
Like, there was talk of a promotion for me and another coworker within the last week. So I don’t think anyone below the C-Suite knew this was coming.
Already updating my CV and all that.
So if you need a remote IT person or master control operator; let me know.

Got this Friday night.
Monday morning, I find out my entire department is getting liquidated.

Picture of a fortune cookie slip that reads, “Your hard work is about to pay off.”

Just checked the math, I have never had a full time paying job at one company longer than three years and nine months before my heath makes it so I have to find different employment or “corporate restructuring”.
Maybe I just do the annoying white dude thing and just interview EVERYONE.

There’s reasons no one is loyal to a company anymore.
Remember kids, unionize and weaponize your employment.

Doofenschmirtz meme.
Top panel: If I had a nickel for every time I was terminated from quality assurance jobs due to “cooperate restructuring”,
I’d have two nickels.
Bottom panel: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s
weird that it happened twice.

Mr. Inbetween is a lot of things.
Good. Bad. Power fantasy. Bloody. Mean. And a lot of sad.
But that final picture of Ray in the last episode… that final scene is the entire show.
In a world of lackluster open endings, I think this one passes muster.
I’m clearly still thinking about it.

Final view of Ray from Mr. Inbetween. Ray is a mostly bald white man with a graying goatee. In the foreground, a younger man sits in the passenger seat of his taxi.
In the picture he is no longer looking at the passenger who intends to kill him, he looks into the camera and smiles.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

So… the Daily Beast is written by subservient cunts?
Good to know.
Also Gavin Newsom and everyone that likes him are fucking fragile little facist toadies that would die without the people they hate.
Fucking worms.
Goddamn.
Shit.

Fall Forever : The Crossing Guard

A Halloween night scene shows three children in homemade costumes—a Dalmatian, a superhero, and a mad scientist—looking terrified at a crosswalk. Behind them, is their poor, run-down neighborhood. Across the street, the homes are well-kept and warmly lit with Halloween decorations and string lights, hinting that the better candy awaits on that side. In the middle of the street however, floats a ghostly crossing guard, wearing a tattered safety vest marked with a dark tire track. It holds up a bent stop sign to the children and it’s cracked glasses glow with eerie yellow light. The entire scene is bathed in a sepia-orange glow under a full moon, evoking both nostalgia and dread.

Are the openings of the Horroramas silly? Yes. But they have a small narrative behind them.
Is Tales of THATTOWN silly? Yes, but it has a narrative being written.
Is my character in Skyrim min/maxed all to hell? Yes, but I’ve got a back story for why my Argonian is there.
I like writing. Fuck AI.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
