@donhertzfeldt Sorry, just realized I have tweeted a version of this twice before. 😲

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@donhertzfeldt Thank you for your work. First saw Rejected at the Texas Film Festival in early 2000s.

And It's Such a Beautiful Day, reminds me how precious and finite life is, something easy to forget.

Gifted the bluray to my dad this year. Cant wait to watch with him.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@donhertzfeldt Just wanted to say thanks for what you put out in the world. I worked the Texas Film Festival in... 2002? And Rejected was screened. Loved it. Followed you ever since. Saw It's Such a Beautiful Day a a decade later and it's stuck with me. Gifting the Bluray. TY.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@donhertzfeldt Thank you for your work. Your art is amazing. Followed you since you submitted Rejected at Texas A&M / Texas Film Festival in the early 2000s. Your work has stuck with me for twenty years. Appreciate you, and what you create.

It's such a beautiful day.

@elonmusk Why would you sacrifice personal safety to make a point on the internet? Everyone has a right to freedom of speech, but everyone also has a right to privacy. You are sending the wrong message.

That said, thank you Ralph, William and all involved. I love that Cobra Kai exists. It's impressive what you have created, and I only comment because it had an impact on me.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

Really enjoyed Cobra Kai. And having fun with the newest stuff. I really just would have loved seeing it end with Danny and Johnny having a beer together though. Season one or two. #CobraKai

@swapnakpanda I don't mean to argue. Like I said, good points about different roles. I don't think the labels you are assigning are universal, but I appreciate that you are trying to help people understand career progression and levels of responsibility. 👍

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@swapnakpanda I am a coder. I am a programmer. I am a developer. I am a product engineer. I am a software engineer. Above all else, I am there to solve problems and support the people I work with. That's the job.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@swapnakpanda There are distinct levels of responsibility. It's important to recognize that. But, again, the labels you are using are arbitrary.

How is "normalizing" arbitrary labels helping your followers?

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@scottjohnson "Favorite" is hard because I love a lot of very different movies for very different reasons. For something serious, definitely Arrival. But there are few movies I've had more fun with than Edge of Tomorrow.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@donavon I'd thank you for an interesting alternate implementation, but you're assigning a value to a variable. There is merit in keeping the thing changed on the opposite side of the equals sign from the value you are assigning it.

To me your suggestion is more clever but less clear.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@SergiiKirianov Maybe applies to all levels of experience, but I think the most important thing is a desire and passion for learning about new stuff and figuring things out. That is a quality that is mostly innate, it's what we do day to day, and it's what is needed for professional growth.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@filmsack Both sad and excited,..!

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@scottjohnson Three weeks is not so bad. If I get to see it in 2021, I'm good. 😁

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@dansteele I think that's hard with a drama series. Only one I can think of is Deadwood. The Gem Saloon is not the only location... but the town is tiny. Similar?

Isolated confinement dramas like Phonebooth or Oxygen come to mind too, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@scottjohnson Maybe with a question mark at the end instead?

[John Conrad @john_conrad]

@scottjohnson There are four snow balls!

@SeanOrange @Valaire69 @1NF1N1TY_313 @CharmingKobold @mallory_yu Doesn't using the term racist in this context dilute the meaning of the word though? Ultimately I think this just boils down to semantics...

Yes, a bug like this disproportionately affects certain ethnicities. No, almost certainly not malicious. I think that's the bottom line.
