Definitely him.
A text chat image that says:  "Hi, it's the real Steven King the author. I need ten dollars to keep writing the books you like, please send." "No way this is the real Stephen King." "the gunslinger chase the man in black across the desert and ka has wheels" "omg it's really you"

Feeling this quote pretty hard today. Incredible amounts of preparation, and a big thing still didn't go right. Not to say that that there were not things to learn from it, because there most definitely were. Gonna take a knee on today, but right back up tomorrow to get back after it.

This moody little film is easily Top 3 of 2024 for me. It's got a little more polish than the director's previous feature, Caveat, but still oozing with dread. #IHFCFeed

A fairly large, reputable website just asked me to make sure my email address is correct in their system by... sending an email. 100% some executive required this email to be sent over objections from every rational person in the meeting. (It's not a phishing scam. Actual email from the company.)

The last piece of my Hellfire Club starter kit arrived, @jaketapper.bsky.social (For those unfamiliar, the paperbacks in this picture are ARCs, Advanced Review Copies. I have a small collection of ARCs from authors I enjoy and couldn't resist grabbing these when I saw they were available.)

nontechnical version: this is a big deal + huge step for transparency! most companies keep their code private/proprietary, but bc ours is public, you can literally see every implementation (how we make buttons blue, how mute lists work, etc) & what we're working on at any given moment

I would kill for an ALF doll right now, but Tyrion will have to do. Testing real-time virtual production with green cardboard and action figures!

Had some things to do today, so I wasn't on Bluesky much. Apparently Animorphs took over while I was gone? Have we seen any ALF-Animorphs crossovers yet?

The Good Samaritan, as we all know, is the story Jesus told about a man who murdered a beggar because he found the beggar rude, and then the Samaritan was praised and protected by occupying Roman Legionnaires, which Jesus said was good and right and not antithetical to his whole deal.

I was thinking about using the new Bluesky Feed Generator project to write a custom algo for all ALF related posts, but I think it might just be easier to direct people to @faineg.bsky.social's post and replies feed instead.

Me: That's it, I absolutely can not buy any more books for a while, I am done. Me: *buys 4 books* Two of them were Jake Tapper books, though, so I feel justified.

Going to post a little about some of the films I've directed or produced. This one is a favorite. Haven's End (2020) Featuring Catherine Taber (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Hannah Fireman (V/H/S), the film is an exercise in genre-mixing with the paranoia overtones of Carpenter's The Thing.

Even if I were the nicest, wisest benevolent dictator to ever grace the face of the earth (and I can make no guarantees about that), the companies that run social platforms outlast individual leadership. This public square would inevitably be ruined like any other.

This is no longer just one scandal, or a simple partisan dispute. This is an earthquake for the Article 3 branch of government. Silence will not work. A full explanation, and a fulsome reform, is the only way forward.
