Morning run in the fog with Felix before work. I started on a new show last week! Going to miss spending so much time with the pup.

Imagine - a bird crashing through the windscreen of your airplane into your face, taking out your left eye. And then being able to turn your head to deflect the blood in the roaring wind, and safely land.
This man, my friend Syd Burrows, did just that. After the accident he changed his callsign to Cyclops and flew a full career.
Syd passed away today at 95.
He was proud to be the inspiration for the main character in my Apollo Murders thriller series. A long, beloved, good life, well-lived. Ad Astra, Syd.

CARNEY: "I know that nothing I can say will bring your children home. I know that no words from me or anyone can fill the silence in your homes tonight and I won't pretend otherwise ... We wanted you to hear that Canadians are with you and we will always be with you."
we should abolish credit scores and replace them with a new system where everyone is given a library card and you receive prizes for checking out a certain number of books. please hire me to run the economy
it took a single animator fifteen months to animate this crowd scene from The Wind Rises, and the care and dedication that real artists put into these films can never be replicated.
Desperately sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. A beautiful, sweet man and outrageously talented. I send my heartfelt condolences to all the many people who loved him.

Diana Wynne Jones wrote a particular sort of droll, clever British fantasy better than just about any novelist of recent decades. Her books are brimming with humor and strange magic. I recommend Howl’s Moving Castle and the delightful Chrestomanci series.
V. E. Schwab is shockingly prolific and deserves to be better known, having written books in seemingly every age range and genre. The Shades of Magic series centers on magicians who have the ability to travel between several parallel versions of London.
Szwarc directed my favorite of the Fringe episodes we wrote, "Grey Matters," and was a complete delight to work with. I love how he stayed vital and engaged through a long and storied career, still directing TV episodes when he was pushing 80. R.I.P.
I've known @Huntvision since our Sarah Connor Chronicles days. He's a great guy who worked his way up from steadicam operator to one of the most sought after TV directors in the biz. Good to see him profiled here for paying it forward after losing his own family home in 2018.
The idea that librarians spend all their time telling children to shush is an unflattering, outdated, and severe stereotype. We actually spend all our time telling children to stop running.
