"The mere impression of political opinion can be a problem, the ethics experts said. 'It might be his spouse or someone else living in his home, but he shouldn’t have it in his yard as his message to the world,' said Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia."

"This is 'the equivalent of putting a "Stop the Steal" sign in your yard, which is a problem if you’re deciding election-related cases,' she said."

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on two things just now. 1: playing with status in a scene and how that transforms the deliveries and relationships, 2: using the words as toys to explore what you're doing and finding unusual or at least not obvious/casual rhythms, pronunciations and emphasis. So cool finding new stuff we didn't know was there.

"But after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find."

"The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism."

The internet has been slow in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda after two key internet cables ended up cut at the same time. Or so they tell me: it’s been hard to get anyone in East Africa on a Zoom.

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has delayed its launch a second time, this time due to a helium leak. This is extra hard for Boeing because having that silly-high-helium-voice makes it difficult to be taken seriously when you’re trying to hire whistleblower assassins.

China claims they are not sending russia lethal aid. It remains against China’s interest to do so.

Just wrote a blackout scene, and can safely say at least I think it's funny. 😛

It is not a fair representation.

Just wrote the rough draft of a comedy sketch, and totally blanked on what I was thinking of using as the ending. So what I wrote instead is more grotesque than funny. Oh my god.

Why can't I remember the ending I was originally thinking of that was risky but not insane? 😝

The studios are hurting. They are obviously and publicly licensing old material to each other and scrambling to bundle streaming services together hoping the audience won’t notice they have little new to offer on each service alone.

IATSE has opportunity to build on groundwork laid by WGA &SAG-AFTRA, can press the boot studios are feeling on their necks & catch up on the raises that didn’t happen since 1980. I so very much hope they do.

Last year we set the tone, this year we bring it home.

Do you know what killed more than 19,000 Americans in the last 3 months? Covid. About 9 an hour. Many many more than that have been hurt, often permanently.

That’s a lower number than previously, yet the risks remain.

Stay home when ill, wear masks in crowds and inside, stay up to date on your vaccinations and improve ventilation (ex: opening windows) to stay healthier.
