Legal dramas never reflect the law. Cop shows border on farce. Enlisted people will say war movies are nothing like the real thing. But GOD FORBID I don’t explain my magic system with textbook detail… #SFF #skywriting #amwriting

Always hated political texts. But watching a confused / ailing family member get bombarded by them — and spiral afterwards — makes me want to have a stern talking to with the digital team. If they’re down for some consensual fisticuffs, all the better. Because screw yall.

It should be an FEC requirement that if all your Congressional b-roll is in low-def, your campaign slogan has to be “remember me?”

Finished #Dispatch. I’m sure everyone on #gaming Bluesky played it already by my GOD I loved this game. Probably had one of the poorer endings on paper, but it felt right.

Spider-Man Noir is fine (almost finished). Cage is giving it the old Nicolas try. Jack Huston should have gotten the role though. Fine as Sandman. Would have crushed as The Spider.

Assuming they didn’t limit this to adult respondents, feels relevant to mention that Gen Z was, at most, 29 at the data cutoff for this survey. Or 11 at the other end. 11, gang. 11. ELEVEN. “Home-cooked meals” yall, in the words of Gen X, leave them kids alone.

Nice flip (if true) from a decade where the marquee dramas (GoT, Walking Dead) built up characters just to kill them off. All I want is more grounded tv about smart people trying their best (Pitt, Shrinking… hell even pluribus). Count me in. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

'Project Hail Mary' is at the vanguard of a new trend after decades of gritty — and perhaps pessimistic — movies and TV shows.

One more #bringbackfirefly post. Shoutout to the most western-ass dialogue ever / my favorite #firefly moment “A man can get a job, he might not look too close at what that job is. But a man learns all the details of a situation like ours, well, then he has a choice. “I don’t believe he does.”

#SFFChat Q4: This is from a comedic fantasy I am co-writing with the brilliant @jonathanstamper.bsky.social.

Trumpets and other instruments blared songs as the brides walked down the aisle, each looking as radiant as the sun in the sky. Following the women, a man short in stature with curly hair and hairy feet rode in on a bear as white as snow. Farm Boy gave Captain a quizzical look as the pair passed.
“It’s tradition for the ring bear to bear the ring bearer down the center aisle.”
Farm Boy nodded, then wondered aloud about the diet of ring bears to keep their fur so shiny.

With all legitimate respect for the amazing journalists doing their thing out there, I can’t help but think the four paragraph preamble everyone puts before the meat now is maybe — maybe — a barrier to getting the word out.
