Contrast is actually really important for appeal. Not just contrast between your characters and their timing, but also within the scenes, sequences and overall season. If you pump everything up to 12/10 right out of the gate you have to stay there and people expect you to keep going.

I'm doing a workshop with some students and a lot of my advice is like ,less movement - less words. ('dialog is not acting' is a refrain) So many people with a love of characters make the mistake of only focusing on those 'fun' aspects and gloss over everything else that communicates just as much!

A reminder that cities used to have terrible air quality like we have today on a regular basis and the current administration continues to actively dismantle the protections and regulations that cleaned that up.

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

If incumbents want to sneer at primary voters, they'll probably keep losing. Serious "No, it's the children who are wrong" energy here. www.axios.com/2026/07/01/m...

    "Diana was an excellent representative with seniority — but the style of someone younger and more outspoken has become more attractive to that cohort of motivated urban left voters."
    A senior House Democrat called the result a "wake-up call" for members of Congress

The critical thing to understand about this air conditioning debate is that fossil fuel companies should be held accountable for destroying the planet.

The "who fucking cares, ship it" part of generative AI is just as fundamental as the part where it openly violates consent at every single stage. It's necessary to do one, in order to do the other.

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE

There's something almost too on-point with the techbro alt-right embrace of stoicism ('broicism'), given stoicism is a formula for living happy in unfreedom, a philosophy for contentedness under tyranny. A philosophy of self-improvement for when social improvement is beyond recall.
