SIGH.

I was SO excited when @springsteen announced he would be doing shows all week long, every week, for over a year in the town I call my home.

Now I work down at the car wash, where all it ever does is rain.
Dammit, I should've made it so my @RollingStone article reviewed 40 XMAS albums + @Springsteen on Broadway.

I thought of this idea too late.
@springsteen, I know u are busy tonight but if u are free NEXT Friday at 9pm, I'm inviting you to see The Stepfathers @ucbtny Hell's Kitchen.

We usually sell out, too, but I can get you in, easy.

(My offer stands regardless of whether u decide to let me see your show tomorrow.)
I deleted over 100 rejection emails from the #SpringsteenOnBroadway lottery this morning. Now he tells me to buy the soundtrack, and specifically to buy it from Amazon, the company that is about to make my commute on the 7 train worse. I need time to process all of it.

Would love to get the # of followers for @GLucasTalkShow up to 1138 & somehow keep it at that number forever, even if it means randomly blocking people to maintain it. (Would that work? Or is there an easier way?)

Please help us reach 1138 in time for our next show on 1/11!
We broke 1000! 138 to go. Can we do this by 1/11?
OK, we are down to the final 89!

I really want to get @GLucasTalkShow to 1138 followers and keep it there forever.

I think we can do it!

R.I.P. Bob Einstein

This is probably my favorite scene in my favorite film of all time, Modern Romance. I remember the first time I saw it, realizing that it was Super Dave Osborne (whom I knew from his great deadpan talk show appearances) & later realizing he was AB's brother
Einstein had maybe the single best deadpan of any late night guest, better even than Grodin at his peak maybe! His bits were always great but my favorite parts were always when the audience would laugh and he would stop and glare at them, or at Dave.
It's just tremendous the way he times those reactions, feeding off Dave's timing and the energy of the audience...

Honestly, I think all the headlines about Holmes & Watson being the worst comedy of the year are going to end up making it a film that people discover later on & are pleasantly surprised that it isn't the worst movie they've ever seen. It is a C- comedy that is getting F- grades
I think all the articles about audiences walking out and it being so bad that even Netflix wouldn't save it give a false impression of it. I also think that critics are always angrier when a movie isn't screened (esp. if it means they all had to spend XMAS day watching it)
This is perhaps an uncool opinion but although the movie is a mixed bag and suffers in comparison to the previous to Ferrell/Reilly pairings, I don't get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feeling from this movie. (I guess it's up to 7% now, but still.)

On 4 January 1987, speaking in hushed tones to his “Expect a Miracle” television audience, Oral Roberts announced that he needed $4.5 million in "quick money." He asked viewers to sed $100 immediately and lay aside follow-up donations for the next two months.
More precisely, Roberts explained that God had instructed him to raise funds for his City of Faith Medical Center in Tulsa, OK, by March 1 of that year; failing that, God would “call me home.” In a subsequent fundraising letter, the Lord's extortionate demands rose to $8 million.
Roberts begged supporters not to let Satan win, and he suggested that in exchange for helping seed his missionary work, contributors would receive a “hundredfold return” on their investment. He also suggested that viewers who didn't donate would suffer in the coming year.

BIG if true:

Whistleblowers bring PAIN!!!
2) This story has now resurfaced involving CIA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, who alleged in 2017 that Mueller was involved in a secret program that was developed & deployed to conduct illegal surveillance on millions of Americans.

The program was supposedly called The Hammer.

You in the mood for some pond story, with pics?
Pics upload slow from here, so it's a slower paced story.
I've never shown you this pond before.
This is the "civilization" side of the property. As you can see. Neighbors. Houses. Roads.
This is "the home place" or "the farmstead." Our houses, buildings, chickens and gardens are here. This is the part G originally bought, buying the wild side later when the opportunity arose.
This side had its pond already.

Hi Everyone, meet Bruffles. He's the first NPC character being developed for @linethegame. How did we arrive at this design & how will we get him in-game? Well, gather 'round & watch this thread as I detail the whole process. (Bruffles concept by the amazing @FromHappyRock)
For development, Bruffles is being used as a target for look development & animation/character exploration. At his core he teaches the player how to hill-slide, since that's his favorite way of moving through the world. He also allows us to explore how diverse our designs can be.
The design for what would eventually become Bruffles started with a sketch(attached) from my good friend Scott Flanders: artstation.com/scottflanders. He was helping out by doing lots of character lineup exploration for Line over a year ago.

There are two things that have helped me build my freelance business and nearly triple the salary I had in my in-house role less than one year ago: relationships and positioning. 1/
Relationships aren't an immediate gain either. I've never gone into meeting someone expecting that they would turn around and do something for me. That's called a transaction, not a relationship.
Real relationships are built from a place of "how can I help *you*?" or "this person is interesting to me". Going into new relationships with people under these two circumstances has yielded incredible results. 3/
