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.)

It's too late for 2018, obviously, but I wanna make a XMAS wish that @Disney put out A Muppet Family Christmas on blu-ray, unedited.

Music rights perhaps make this unlikely, but right now we live in a world where this classic is out-of-print, and it shouldn't be.
If you haven't seen A Muppet Family Christmas, it is one of the very best Muppet things that has ever been made. I think it is as significant/important as the original Muppet movie trilogy. It's also one of the last major Muppet things Jim Henson did.
Aside from anything else, it is notable for being the Muppet Cinematic Universe equivalent of Avengers: Infinity War (but with the holiday charm of A Charlie Brown Christmas).

It features characters from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street AND Fraggle Rock, all together at XMAS.

I’ve given several talks about burnout in the last five years, in the context of open source software maintenance, and I feel like I should do another one, but I’m not sure anybody wants to hear it.
It’s not very inspirational. It’s about what happened to me when the weight of burnout became too great to keep carrying along, and then too much to bear. As @annehelen’s excellent essay for Buzzfeed says (buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…), there’s no quick fix for burnout.
@annehelen It caused me anxiety, it alienated me from my career, it corroded my relationship, it threw up barriers in my family, it made me an unreliable and difficult friend / colleague / son / partner. It is a mode of existence more than a condition.

10 Red Flags to Look Out For in Women (A THREAD)

These are all from my past experience with women. Mostly from one woman that I spent way too much time with. I felt bad for her and bought in to this psychopath's web.

This can happen to you if you don't see the warning signs!
1. Daddy issues / All men are jerks

Obvious one but this is a sign of past issues. If all men are jerks, she's the issue. Too many princesses out there who think their shit don't stink.

They expect the perfect ideal mate but can't cook. But at least they have debt!
A poor role model in a father will lead to a woman not knowing what to look for in a man. She holds resentment towards all men because her initial experience with a man (her father) has tainted her perception. Hard for these women to get over.

1. Love begins with recognition of value in others. Then we demonstrate that recognition through giving and forgiving. #Love
2. Joseph's brothers did not recognise his value. No wonder they discussed plans to kill him, but eventually sold him for 20 pieces of silver. #Love
3. Being ahead of someone in age or position tends to seduce us to not recognise their value, especially depending on our leadership culture. #Love

I'm a few pages into the IG report and I just can't get over the thought that there's no reason there ever should've been an investigation into Hillary's e-mails in the first place. The FBI was just trying to satisfy the Republicans.
"....we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead... was free from bias." One was a thing, the other was not a thing. He picked the thing over the not thing. That's not bias.
This was my first major blog post on my current blog. It analyzed the initial FBI report on Clinton and it was pretty clear to me (and the FBI in the end) that she didn't do much, if anything, wrong. thegreatconsolidation.com/2016/09/not-wh…

A thread on the things I took from @realDonaldTrump's book "The Art of the Deal" (part one ~100 things)
1/ “I don’t do it for the money. I’ve got enough, much more than ill ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art form.”
2/ “Most people are surprised by the way I work. I play it very loose. I don’t carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. You can’t be imaginative or entrepreneurial if you’ve got too much structure”

People have been asking why Shader Forge was never acquired and integrated by @unity3d, now that Shader Graph is finally out in the open. Here's a thread!
Unity did in fact start that conversation with me years ago. But we ended up not reaching a deal, not because they gave me a bad one, but because our goals simply weren't aligned
The deal was, in short, that Unity would acquire Shader Forge and hire me to work on an officially integrated shader editor. Which was a great deal, but a difficult decision for me to make at the time, because I ultimately want to create games, not tools
