That has to be a joke, right?

Unusually efficient afternoon: article pitched, accepted and first draft written already.

This is not how things usually work.

Interesting how they make the buyer donate directly rather than just donating a percentage of the proceeds.

A cynic might point out that it there are favourable tax implications for the buyers - and it makes them look good too.

OTOH that $5k does actually go to charity.

No, but this one at least makes some kind of sense. There's definitely a venn diagram where cognac, hip hop and bling all converge on something like this.

Just received this too #englishwhisky

Fun time tasting the new blended whisky from East London Liquor Co - and it’s good in a Manhattan too.

Good questions that mirror my thinking closely. Turns out tonight was not the sort of event where I could dig that out. But I can confirm the whisky is banging.

On my way to check out East London Liquor CO’s new brand home (they’re nomadic distillers now) and taste their new blended whisky.

Weird how in that my brain wants to read rave as though it rhymed with 'betterave' or or 'grave' or 'cave'... wait none of this works in English.

Script writing today. Amazing what two months away from a project can do. Gain a lot of clarity and dispassionate perspective.

Then: this bit's not working, perhaps I need to dig deeper into this character's inner flaw.

Now: oh, I see: we don't need this character at all.

Ultimately it's your work to do with as you wish.

Some people might say putting work out for free makes it a little harder for others trying to charge for theirs. I honestly don't know whether that's true or not.

It's a good test: do they make the simple seem complex or vice versa? I know who I'd rather hang out with.

My brain is going “star anise star anise star anise star anise star anise…” so I guess I’ll pass that on and maybe it’ll shut up and let me decide what to have for breakfast 🤷‍♂️
