so many reasons we won't use AI for our films, but first and foremost, it's not that fun. drawing, sculpting, building stuff in the mountains – that's fun.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.
Use the Metro* to get to Dodger Stadium!
*you also have to walk 25 minutes through different terrains and different qualities of tiny sidewalks, somehow cross the entire 101, solve a troll’s 3 riddles, walk through the biggest parking, and then walk to your seat.
Trains AND battles? The mad geniuses @TerriblePosture have done it again. You can also be a mad genius but only if you support them via kickstarter. OR if you engage in train combat. First option is probably easier though...
