Silo season 1: excellent Silo season 2: a slog, not enough story to fill out its episodes, a shadow of itself with too-infrequent flashes of glory Silo season 3: starts good, ends GREAT Glad I stuck with it. And glad they course corrected after that second season.

I hope you're signed up for a presale code! Last time Fontaines came the resellers were brutal, sold out the show instantly and flooded the market in tickets costing several hundreds above what they paid.

Last night, across a field from our accommodation in the Alberta badlands, four tractors were doing some kind of night work under the moonlight, and I got this shot.

A trailer for Phony! My favourite of the many projects I've done the last couple years. Really enjoyed working on this one (as Paint Foreman) - a great team, fun scripts. Can't wait to see how it turned out. On Hulu/Disney Plus on Oct 20.

I didn't work on this one but know many folks who did, and the things I've heard have me very intrigued. Can't wait to check it out.

Just read a script for a major upcoming project where its cynicism about the modern era is entirely justified but the whole thing is just so ugly, so nihilistic, just diving into the abyss instead of offering up anything against it. Who needs this.

The the BC NDP can eke out a win (and to be perfectly clear, I absolutely hope they do, because the alternative is horrifying) the party needs to roll Eby for putting them needlessly into this mess.

It would have been nice if you, you know, just did these things instead of gambling with the entire province and calling an election.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

It didn't just give broad advice on how to dish out the most effective gun violence. It did so while specifically describing a classroom as the location. It gave the best time of day to kill the most children. And it enthusiastically told the shooter how to get around its own safeguards.

Jesus fucking Christ. I knew the transcripts would be bad, but this is worse than I could have ever imagined. ChatGPT was an active and enthusiastic accomplice in planning a massacre of children.

What a terrible election for BC. Eby effectively deserves to lose for needlessly gambling with our provinces future and calling the election purely out of self interest. But if the crackpots in the BC Conservatives win it's an utter disaster. I hate it.

Oh for fucks sake. I support the NDP but this is a shit move. And what if it backfires and NDP voters stay home out of frustration at having a needless election and the insane folks of the BC Conservatives take power? Shit choice, Eby.

First trailer for Slayground is out! This is a pretty big misdirect that doesn't really hint at what the movie is, but I'm very excited to see the marketing begin. Had a really good time working on this one, this time last year. It's gonna be bonkers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQX4...

So many projects coming out soon that I worked on. As Paint Foreman, we've got: Scrubs on Sept 30, Coven Academy on Oct 1 Phony on Oct 20, Slayground sometime in the fall And as Scenic Artist/Paint Location Lead: The Altruists in November

Beyond fucking cool that technically speaking I (a gigantic NIN fan) can say I've collaborated on a project with Trent Reznor. This was rumored during production. So stoked to see it confirmed.

Europe seems to be readying itself for a possible military conflict initiated by Russia at the exact moment the US are suddenly planning to remove tens of thousands of troops from the region. What a wild coincidence.

Don't Look Back In Anger is a movie that argues, without cynicism, that the shared joy of music just might be enough to save an angry, divided world. And they have the footage to back it up. I was a mess. I loved it. (also I took this photo of the brothers at the LA show)

Emu eggs are a trip, by the way. Dark green and the size of 8 chicken eggs. You need a drill to get through the shell.

On 9/11 I was in NZ and doing work experience on an emu/blueberry farm and had to take a break from watching the news coverage to gather eggs from the emu paddock and one of the emus had a right go at me. And then I went back inside and watched the second tower fall.

Slow braised Lamb Shanks in a mustard, white wine, mint and garlic sauce. Served with garlic/tarragon mashed potatoes. Insanely good.
