There’s a new chapter of Constellationism up, for those who like that sort of thing. It’s called ‘The Pangolin of Regret vs The Ruru of Hope’ & it’s here: archiveofourown.org/works/456174.... In it, Stede has an idea, Mary discovers the limits of her capacity for goodwill & Ed is kicked in the shin.

This is so funny to me- I couldn't stop laughing when I parsed each OFMD location at Te Henga and realised what I was seeing. Red box on the left is where Stede was standing to throw his letters into the sea. Red box on the right is where Ed was standing when he found one 🫢

We do not mention enough the fact that Stede's dad is also seen wearing a black cravat, in the same episode Ed acquires Stede's one. It's daddy issues all the way down for these lads.

I've had several chinchillas get exactly the same issue as they got older, including one old girl now - it's rough to deal with but they do surprisingly well with surgery ❤️

Go offfff Dad
I was at my desk on the lot when Zaz released the "initial word mark" for Warner Brothers Discovery, complete with a quote from The Maltese Falcon.

It looked like an intern from 1993 put it together.David Jenkins @david_jenkin... 23m Beyond the collective cringe, everyone was trying to attach meaning. Was he just completely out of his depth? Did he actually have some affection for the history of the lot and this storied brand? And, if so, would that win out?



David Jenkins @david_jenkin... 19m Twenty minutes after "the word mark" debuted, we had a production meeting with our execs. Normally an upbeat bunch, they looked ashen. Hollowed out. They'd just come from a town hall hosted by the man himself. It was as if someone had a gun pointed at them from just off camera.



David Jenkins @david_jenkin... They kept their composure, and gave us our usual productive and insightful meeting. But it was clear whatever they'd just witnessed was demoralizing. At best. And we went back to our pirate ships to shoot the day's work on that gorgeous lot.



David Jenkins @david_jenkin... 10m And Zaslav got busy too. He spent a lot of time courting the town and playing mogul. He was seen at the Polo Lounge regularly, seemingly taking the temperature of the major players including Steven Spielberg. He made a show of it, kind of a listening tour. David Jenkins @david_jenkins_5m

But it was clear pretty quickly this man was playing dress up. Like his initial wordmark, this was a fantasy he was living out. He put down his money, and he got to play entertainment mogul. Literally while living in Robert Evans' old house, which he'd purchased the year before.


David Jenkins @david_jenkins__2m

Of course, the only reason Zaslav's ownership was possible is the company was billions of dollars in debt from the AT&T days. As much of a piker as he seemed to be, he was a piker with money. A symptom, really. These kinds of symptoms appear when a company is truly sick.

In a video address to employees on the eve of the Paramount takeover, David Zaslav says it’s been an "honor" to oversee so many HBO name changes.

welp, I didn't need my heart anyway. Stede trying to chart Ed's course on the map and he guesses he's turning south, "to skirt the storm" we know Ed drove them into. And at the top, fragile man 😭
