This week's Ted Lasso homage to "All the President's Men" is bloody brilliant.

@paultobin.bsky.social I finally downloaded my KS PDF of your Angry Birds with Thom, and it is just as bonkers as I expected. Looking forward to more... Cheers!

Migraine Aphasia sucks when you're a writer.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Don't worry... we're watching you talk to yourself. ;) Hope you're feeling better! (BTW, this is how I celebrated the week, even if my Peck somehow morphed into Claudia Winkelmann...)

The likenesses got away from me in inking and coloring, but I'm happy with it overall, and with Nimoy Spock in particular. Happy Birthday, Star Trek!

Happy Birthday, Star Trek! (M'Benga isn't here to fix my carpal, so the next stages will be posted tomorrow and Wednesday.) Live Long amd Prosper 🖖

Writing the metadata for my next book, and I realized that "Steer Your Own Story: The Mystery of the Invisible Cow" is the 20th book published by Deans Family Productions. Not bad for 11 years in chasing this dream of having 'creator' be my actual job.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Oof. This one really got under your skin, didn't it? I would love to buy you some tea (Earl Grey, etc etc) and discuss it with you... were it not for the whole ocean in between. I do hope you enjoy the next one quite a bit to help balance this week for you!

I have this, and it's one of the best from her early years. Worth every penny (so throw a lot of 'em Tara's way)!

@seanferrick.bsky.social My take in the M'Benga bit was that I saw it as a cross reference to John Hoyt telling Pike in the Cage, "some people will tell their bartender things they'll never tell their Doctor," and then Isaac on Love Boat, the bartender who was as much counselor as barkeep.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Catching up on 4.3U&Ds, and I don't know if this is my age showing or not, but... I hated "The Hangover," but loved this episode. (Esp Scotty.) I can only assume that it's because I love the SNW cast, but find the Hangover cast tedious.

The AI in Terminator 2 had a greater effect on my work than any of these companies. Well... except for nearly doubling my electricity bill.

The news that -2's accounts were frozen for money laundering isn't making a splash because his acolytes will absolve him of anything, and the rest of us are not at all surprised by the news.

I'm lucky enough to call a few members of Helioscope friends, and this studio is full of amazing human beings with varied and fantastic artistic talents. Buying art from their store helps the studio with the high costs of the day to day operations, helps the artists, and you get great art!

Um... Did Sky F1 really use Matt Damon for their intro piece on Silverstone/the UKGP just to make an 'odyssey' joke/reference about the race? Do they not know any British actors from the film?

In a very short time, Marcia Lucas cemented her legacy as a genius storyteller. She will be remembered as a respected philanthropist and brilliant filmmaker. Her importance to film - not just her work shaping Star Wars - will never be forgotten. (No matter how much George tries.) Farewell, Legend.

Saddened to hear that both Sonny Rollins and Clarence Jones passed. Legends in Black history and culture, they did what they could to advance messages of peace, equality, acceptance, and love in two very different ways. Thankfully they both left amazing legacies from which we can still learn.

@kellysue.bsky.social I am *not* doomscrolling... (per your RT of Karen Ho). I'm just taking a moment to check in on folks after finishing a story only one day past deadline. To celebrate, I'm gonna be like Paul Tobin and have a cookie. By the way, your kids have great taste in music. 😉 Cheers!
