@SenRickScott You've GOT to be kidding me. You and the rest of your enablers set the bar so unbelievably low over the last four years that there is literally nothing a president can't do. Please re-examine the nature of your public service and what you can contribute. You're an embarrassment.

@GovRonDeSantis Your state is desperate to see you set aside your political aspirations & lead in ways that save lives. Posturing, pandering & ideology only threatens them. I can't believe you have to be told that leadership is often about making hard choices. #FloridaCovid

I'm convinced when smart storytellers get it right and build compelling episodic series, it makes the suits believe that anybody can do it. So they'll budget $60M for effects, and spend 5% of that total on scriptwriters, script doctors, and dialogue punch-up specialists... Ugh.

[Jim Harrison @JimHarrisonUF]

What #JupitersLegacy proves: 1) Hollywood suits still haven't learned to invest in storytelling like they do sfx, and 2) When a showrunner splits over creative differences before filming is even done, you can safely assume there's a dumpster fire coming to your screen.

[Jim Harrison @JimHarrisonUF]

So much potential from the source material was wasted. Truly disappointed they swung and missed with such a great story to tell. Just goes to show you that ignoring bad storytelling and even weaker plotting remains a major flaw in the system.

Moved to a haiku? That's unexpected. You don't question the muse, I guess.

Moments of justice
Leave mountains left to climb
With breaths of relief

@kuratowa I didn't know Pedro Pascal and Quentin Tarantino made a movie together... LOL

The trouble with boxes: we all want to voyage, discover & thrive outside them, but 95% of our working lives are predicated on making things work within their boundaries.

Am I the only one seeing the irony of universities going "all in" on something called *artificial intelligence*? Especially considering the current funding environment?

It's almost like some strategic comms might be necessary to position this more powerfully. #NotHoldingMyBreath

@mickeynall @ProfClayCalvert @UFJSchool Art by #UFCOA's Richard Heipp... Great stuff.

@FoxAlvarezDVM Well deserved, sir! How is your Academy program coming along these days??

[Jim Harrison @JimHarrisonUF]

Oh boy, ***this***. LOL.

Some days I dream of having a "real" job again but then I wake up when I remember that I'd have to use Slack as a primary form of communication.

@Draplin I feel you. I have a flat file problem myself. Can't get enough of them. Good luck!

Am I the only one 100% bamboozled by @UF Athletics' Ticketmaster UX? What a runaround. Nothing works. 57 logins, 3 URLs, apps... Make it simple, folks. You're trying too hard. I just want to display volleyball tix on my phone. Shouldn't be a 30 minute adventure - that fails.

[Jim Harrison @JimHarrisonUF]

@jessicahische Very intrigued by this. Lots of ??? 4 analog print folks looking to make a transition. If a print has been editioned IRL is it ineligible for crypto-art / NFT? R there ethical guidelines yet re: this transition with previously existing work? Can artists still display for promo?

@ThaHouds @Sharper67 @HoeflerCo Just saw a photo. UAA needs a typographic reprimand.
