Predator Badlands was so much fun. I think it's proof that even in the soul-sucking business of producing for franchises, taking risks (however small)and venturing into unfamiliar territory can be a rewarding experience. You don't have to rehash the same old story. #scifi #movies #writing

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle was such a blast. I can't think of any other zombie/demon type show or movie where one's struggle to retain their humanity is portrayed so vividly and painfully. Trauma, loss, longing for loved ones, but also anger, despair and irresistible temptation of submitting to evil. This story hits so different today than when it first came out. Combat scenes were out of this world too. #demonslayer #anime #popculture

There has been an interesting emergence of design research exploring the role computers can play in religious/spiritual experiences. One such group is the The SPIRITED Collective, which recently issued a second issue of a zine that includes some explorations my colleague Noura Howell and I have been doing on machine-aided autobiographic poetry inspired by the style of the great Sufi mystic and poet Rūmī and his Masnavi.

Time to dust off this bad boy and get some words down. There are not a lot of good ways to cope with what's going on in the world. One of them can be writing (for those who are so inclined and have the privilege). That and green tea. #writing #amwriting #scifi

Peak AI creep. Who asked for this? #ai #surveillance #design

I did not know that Equalizer had not just one bit two sequels. Those were fun to watch.
