Too very cool.
If you go deeper, there’s a sweet picture.

Kindness, and thanks.

Again, this was my "f' it" Script, & it moreover plays in the $100M gardens, so I knew it would never get made from a newbie. I just needed to get it down. -- But lookit how cool the Feedback wuz from this Fest I didn't win, while I head out to my big-time sandwich delivery! Screenwriting "poster" visual in tones of orange with an impossibly huge moon bearing down upon sillhouetted spires of a manor house, as a bird flies away. It reads: All knowing, all powerful Creator, there can be nof greater God." -- But There Is. -- One more sacrifice. and the Universe changes forever. None Greater Than (with title struck-through). This poster is overlaid on another poster that seems visuall the same. The Feedback materials read: "Reading None Greater Than felt like walking into a fully imagined place and realizing, a few pages in, that it has its own weather, its own gravity and its own rules. From the opening cosmic imagery to the slow reveal of Dickensgate Manor, you establish mood with confidence and patience. And the same applies to your characters: it's seldom I read a screenplay with 15 or 16 speaking parts, but they were each delineated, and provided excitement and function. The early classroom scene with Wangerin works especially well. It isn’t just exposition, it tells us who he is and why people follow him. Later, the “rats” sequence on the lane is genuinely unsettling, and that ending! I was also impressed by how naturally the philosophy, religion and math elements are folded into the story. The Fibonacci motif and the prayer-wheel logic feel like obsessions growing inside these characters. That gives the horror an emotional engine, not just a visual one. If there’s an allegory here about belief, control, and the danger of trying to impose meaning on chaos, it lands without being preachy. It’s there for readers who want it, and invisible to those who don’t. You’re a great writer and very visual. Overall, this is ambitious, smart, and often genuinely creepy. "

Finalist @ 13Horror.com. Was pleased because this is my "f' it" Script, where I didn't reign in my literary-style voice at all, went balls-to-wall with my # of characters, included craziest insights into how the universe works, and sprayed blood on every wall. Chuffed w/feedback too

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

For those unmoved by the deaths on our streets, by the detaining of toddlers, who questions "why didn't you protest Obama" ... who still thinks this is normal:
“Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.”

Text via @marynmck.bsky.social reads "Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abreviation just dropped." referring to @katemckean.bsky.social 's "Over on threads someone just used ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick."

Easy to type... yep, be using that a bunch.
Thanks @marynmck.bsky.social & @katemckean.bsky.social

("You used an Ai image as precursor, and so I didn't read your content." is the only version of that I can think of, that makes sense, so I'm goin' with it.)

A closed-eye animatronic of Chuck E. Cheese lays amidst rocks and snow, it's chest horribly ripped open. The sea forms a backdrop with pale blue sky, overarching. He still has a contented smile upon his face, as of course he would.

Early joggers stunned this week when the body of a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic washed up on the rocks of Metro Beach.
Robot removed, bt the discovery has inspired a memorial w/visitors leaving Chuck E. Chs plushes, tokens, & a man pouring Pepsi frm a C.E.Chs cup quietly saying “This is for Charles.”

Bud Cort, ‘Harold and Maude’ Star, Dies at 77 Bud Cort, who personified the role of Harold in the 1971 Hal Ashby classic “Harold and Maude,” died Wednesday in Connecticut after a long illness. He was 77. His longtime friend Dorian Hannaway report...

So very sorry to hear that Bud Cort has passed.
Harold And Maude is one of my favorites.
Thanks for the bizarre & loving little experience.

My question is “Where did he get these latex masks?”
I’m pretty cognizant of at least magazine-sold masks in the 50s and 60s, and have never seen any of these.

Tri-pawed long-haired calico cat sitting on a lap around midnight, that front "anchor" paw extended. Some final birthday flowers in the background.

We've homed this cat for 5 years.
She's come for pets, sat next to me, and sat on my lap for extended periods.
She's never fallen asleep on my lap.
Until last night.
5 years

Verklempt when I wasn't aware of how much my heels hurt on the coffee table.
But I was NOT taking my legs down

Ahem: MY Fantastic Four (for longer than most of yas have been alive).

An excellent reference.

Unexpected depths.

Take a look. Lots of talent and beauty, here.

GOOD BOY may not be truly great (it's more a tonal piece, for me), but this pupper certainly is.

A Lab-mix mutt with a white stripe down his face and attentive stance wears a photshopped medal in a dark forest.

Indy the Dog just won Best Horror/Thriller Performance at the Astra Film Awards for GOOD BOY, beating out Ethan Hawke and Alison Brie, among others.

I've been telling everyone who will listen that this dang dog is one of the best Actors I've seen perform, this year.

This is a fun video. A muntjak (a type of deer, not antelope) and Indian rhino playing in the snow. It looks like they're really having a great time :)

soon, the DOJ is going to have to release more Epstein Files to divert attention from the ICE murder

Also, placing oneself in the path of a moving vehicle constitutes officer-created jeopardy and undermines any claim that deadly force was necessary.

Villanueva vs. Cali (2021): “a reasonable jury could conclude that the Officers used excessive force, because they lacked an objectively reasonable basis to fear for their own safety, as they could simply have stepped back or to the side to avoid being injured.”

Cordova v Aragon (2009): Where the officer had moved out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, the use of deadly force was not justified.

Orn vs City of Tacoma (2019): “A reasonable jury could conclude that once Orn was no longer in the car’s trajectory, the threat of serious physical harm to him was eliminated.”

Kirby vs. Duva (2008): Officers cannot create or avoid danger and then use deadly force anyway. Shooting after the officer was no longer in danger was unconstitutional

Adam’s vs. Speers (2007): Once Speers was no longer in the path of the vehicle, the justification for the use of deadly force ended

Cases where police moved out of the way of moving vehicle and exercised deadly force, with more in thread.
