#QuestionOfTheDay fictional prospect draft! You have the #1 pick in a draft of fictional heroes/heroines BEFORE they became heroic or powerful. You have no idea who the rest of your cast or party will be and no idea what other fictional characters you can acquire later or put around your draft pick so they may not necessarily develop into the powerful/heroic character they do in normal canon.

You can pick from any work of fiction.

Who do you choose to lead your party in a quest of unknown challenges and difficulty?

Watching the MLB All-Star game.

Here's a simple hack if you have one of those insane old remotes like mine with a million buttons and a tiny mute button that makes cutting the BS at breaks a challenge:

Take a small file (even a nail file would do) and carefully notch the edge of the remote beside where the mute is.

Now you can find it by touch in a moment every time.

(De nada!)

Introducing myself to a new instance…

Mostly I like talking about film and tv. I’ve been in the TV business for 28 yrs. Some producing -lots of editing in the last 10 yrs. Edited a Daytime Emmy nominee, and a multiple Webby winner, lots of social video and promos for premium cable and streamers. Directed and produced music videos. Produced award winning shorts and web series.

I’m a dad, and a lover of #hiphop. #introduction#Genx#NewYorker #film#TV

the first batch of fuckers dragged to the guillotines should be the “team” behind the MOST MEN OVER THE AGE OF FORTY #tv #ads campaign.

it’s not that they are pulling the same ageist trash they do with women.

it’s not even the fact the models ALL HAVE HAD VERY VISIBLE PLASTIC SURGERY, including those gawdawful cheek implants.

no.

it’s the fact every single "good looking" model have like 10 layers of makeup & light diffusers. heck they might be AI-generated.

they're selling body dysmorphia.

But if you really want to freak yourself out with potential but inherently uncertain quantum computing futures, watch Alex Garland's 2020 mini-series Devs.

Noel Edmondsʼ Kiwi Adventure isnʼt that bad a watch. Actually humanizes the man. Also consider the source of his media beat-up: Stuff. On the other hand, thereʼs no mention so far of cycleways or COVID conspiracy theories.
Overall, a better ad for Aotearoa than the show most people know us for overseas: Border Patrol. #ITV#ITVX#TV

"... the crisis is looming, as it is in many other countries in the west, we're not alone. You look at Britain, you look at the US, you look at France ... the West has a problem, and when is it going to ween itself off debt."

Um, no. What we actually need to ween ourselves off is oil. Finite, polluting, increasingly expensive fossil fuels. That's a problem. This "Debt crisis" is an invention and a distraction.
