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]

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.

Fall Forever : Burn Away

Standing ominously facing away from us and towards a horizon of silhouetted suburban homes, The Groundkeeper holds his rake in one hand as a pile of leaves burns beside him. He is dressed in his signature newsboy cap, bag mask that covers his head, ribbed puffer vest, plaid shirt, workman’s gloves, jeans, and boots. It is an overcast day, and the dark figure stands in contrast with the bright sky. Laves fall around him and the entire image is tinted orange.
