I have been using a tiny dry erase board all day to run errands, and I gotta say I might just keep doing this after I get my voice back. It's great for days when you just don't want to chat.

People keep telling me AI will take over my subtitling work. Y'all. AI gets confused by song lyrics, accents, colloquialisms and overlapping dialogue. And it always will, because it is not capable of actual analytical thought.

A reminder to the world as Star Trek Starfleet Academy is gearing up to launch: You can just choose not to watch it. You don't have to try to make like hell for young actors just to feel like your opinion matters.
Also, it's gonna be pretty great.

Just in time for all the Christmas parties, I have laryngitis. I ordered a little dry erase tablet so I can write my thoughts down and wave them at everyone. You can't silence me, vocal chords.

We talk a lot about Scrooge, but give it up for Clark Griswold's boss, who did not need 3 ghosts to make him a slightly better person.

It feels so weird to be asking people to crowdfund our weird little stunt show when everything is bad news all the time, but sometimes it feels like making cool stuff with our friends and paying them is the only truly great thing we have left in this town.

Husband has just informed me that Baywatch Nights included David Hasselhoff fighting a vampire, & I have never been so disappointed to find that a show is not streaming anywhere.

They could’ve bankrupted OpenAI in lawsuits. Instead, they’re adopting OpenAI APIs and giving them a billion dollars.

Last night at the #EchoPark Neighborhood Council meeting, we read a letter calling for action from the LAPD about the unacceptable violent acts from officers on World Series victory night. We invited almost a dozen LAPD reps to hear our discussion. NOT ONE showed up to listen.

Statistically, if you get 10% funded in your first week, your Kickstarter is more likely to be fully funded. We got to 10% on our very first day.
Back a winner and get a ticket to our show where nerds trash talk & hit each other with swords.

My new tradition after Echo Park Neighborhood Council BOG meetings is to watch 2 episodes of Parks and Rec. It's so relatable.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Because the vast majority of TV workers are freelance, they’re also only paid for four weeks of those two years, which is part of why so many people in the industry are struggling so badly, too.
The delays aren’t just annoying for viewers. (Do read the v good full thread)

By the time a show is getting made or killed, you might have spent 2 years on it, but in total you've only spent about 4 weeks actually at your desk working. The rest... waiting.

Harry Connolly (@byharryconnolly.bsky.social) is one of my fave authors.
He needs $ help. harryjconnolly.com/17553-2/
For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way.
His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.

Woke up thinking about all those people who chose their devotion to Trump over relationships with their own children. I wonder how they're doing right now.

These past 3 years have been difficult. I've given up script supervising because there's no work but was lucky to get work as a freelance subtitler for a post house. They just got a rush order on a lot of episodes, so I'm gonna be able to afford Christmas presents this year. I'm so relieved.

My favorite line in The Running Man is subtle, but you'll hear it if you pay attention - it's when the film declares that the most heroic thing he's ever done is union organizing.
