Servants? OMG. He thinks in plantation terms in his head!

The only analogy I can think of is, "So some boy boned a bonobo and had a baby."
Yeah, I thought "knock boots and babies happen" was kinda THE thing that made a species a species. But it's been a while since 5th grade.

Very Flava Flave.

I'm thinking more the antihero genre. Mutant powers kick in and ruin the lead's life until they find a use for it.

And, I don't mean stadiums. I mean, they all show up at small bars and bring guitars and just, "Hey, mind if I play a bit?" Viral pop ups all over the place. Train stations, dive bars, Beatles on the rooftop kinda stuff. Patio performances. Something that will make his birthday irrelevant.

Remember when they banned rubber chickens from Trump rallies?

All the major musicians should have a day of free music across the country to ensure nobody shows up to his sad clown birthday party. Bruce especially.

He's going to focus all of his time on manipulating the price of TSLA stock.

Ken Burns wins again. iPhoto to the rescue.
It's changed a bit since I wrote The iPhoto 4 Book.

It definitely gives you perspective. Not only do you know how typing "car chase" looks in your head, but you also have a feel for how expensive that it, not only financially, but the human cost to the crew. You learn the importance of consolidating locations. You see the production ramifications.

Kinda have to learn to swim before you jump in the water at a pool party.

If you want to do it all, I would do the feature first. You can knock that out in a few months from script to post production.
If you do a TV series, that could lock you up for years if you do it right. I'm about to start on a feature with a TV series chaser myself.

"But paying slaves for their work would destroy the plantations and then we wouldn't have any cotton!"

I went the other way. Started at the end of post production and swam my way upstream until I hit screenwriting. About to start that process next month.

There's even one episode that has loose hints to the TV series I plan on writing, which really freaked me out when I watched it. I have no memory of ever watching that episode, but it's like, shared dreaming from pods can tell many stories. Seen it in SG-1 for sure.

Only because they wouldn't be able to staff the CEO position due to all their compensation going to the people doing the work. If you go without a greedy bastard corporate heads, any corporation could afford to pay people fairly.

There is no excuse for a $7 bag of fried corn meal. It's literally the cheapest food we have.

No industry DESERVES to destroy other sectors to exist. This AI is the digital embodiment of baby Hitler. It's the AI that THEY control and want to use to control us.
AI can be done in a far more controlled way that doesn't involve shooting it with a data fire hose.

Maybe we need an ASD Jeff Foxworthy. Someone who can teach about what Autism is in 2025, not 1975, but in a funny manner. "If your bedroom looks like the inside of an arcade claw machine, wall to wall stuffed animals, you may be autistic." "If you're passionate about chicken nuggets...."

You'd think we'd have curing rodent cancer down pat. Mice always get the good drugs before we do. You hear about them shrinking their little cheesy tumors every other week. Sorry your buddy's ill.

OK, that pharmacist needs to get a slap. Partial fills need documentation.

Usually the label will have something written on it about being 20/60 or whatever.

Just once, I'd like to see a national news organization take up a policy of shutting down their mics the moment a politician tells a verifiable lie. "That's a lie. Goodbye."
