If they say no again, do you get back the rights, or is it a "No, but we still keep your stuff in perpetuity" scenario? That's one of the things that makes it particularly painful. The initial concept was all from the Korean company. Over the years, I altered it, added a couple of characters etc., ...

Pruitt

Fuck! That is awful. It really, really sucks to put your time and effort into something like that only to have it stopped. Is there ever a possibility it could be picked up in the future? Actually, I just figured out that there could be. BACKSTORY: I started working on this show for a Korean compan...

That sucks, Pruitt. As someone who's toyed with the idea of doing creative work for a living but always hesitated for fear of the type a scenario you described, I can sympathize. You getting into and succeeding in a career where that type of thing is a constant is admirable. Hoping you have enough ...

Ah, fuck! Just a series that I've been developing for 4 years, and that was THIS close to getting greenlit. Which means that I'd have a 2-5 year gig. And since it would be a French co-production, royalties for years to come... And the plug was pulled today two months before production. I know, we al...

While my son is waiting for his career to take off (graduated with a degree in Industrial Design in the spring), he's begun making ASMR videos. Now, this stuff makes me very agitated, but there are millions who enjoy it. He's made a bunch of videos, and the content is interesting even if the deliver...

I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes. And I can't not tear up watching the video of the proposal.

Not dusty - but I got goosebumps reading this.

Mazel Tov! And many, many years of happiness.

Being a baby boomer is/was a source of pride for the most part. But when it's co-opted by a younger person to show that someone may be out of touch is when Boomers don't care for it, it seems. It's more the dismissal than the moniker. Yeah,that makes sense. Part of the aging process is learning to ...

There's also a story here about how forced displays of patriotism are not patriotic, but a form of fascism. Amen. There's a very fine line though, and recent years here have seen an increase in the "commercialisation" of Remembrance Day. What are you talking about, every veteran should be thanked f...

Always hated the guy. One of Rob Ford's earliest public supporters - an indication of the type of mentality at work here. One less cro-magnon to worry about. I was at the grocery store today at 11:00. An announcement was made that it was time for a moment of silence, and nobody said a word. Everyone...

Does the Swamp have an official charity for the excess? There's not likely to be an excess. The money will pay for about four to five years of hosting, so DSafe will transfer money as need to reimburse JPops (who pays the hosting provider). But it means we won't have to send any more money again un...

So Russia (which is qualified and hosting some games) may have a problem on both fronts. Bet they wimp out on the bans.

Skip to 1:40. You really hate to see it. https://youtu.be/Swtd8vIcqUY Apparently there are crazies that are too crazy for the current crazies in power.

Colts/Dolphins was the worst football game I've watched in a long time. I know the Colts were without their top...checking notes...6 or so guys, but ffs. You clearly didn't see the Browns-Bills game.

"Midnight Diner" is a really good Japanese series. It's an anthology, so each episode stands alone.

I have a gambling problem, I'm betting on the KSI-Paul fight.

Man - you might as well bet on wrestling.

Ravens are my top pick in my confidence pool at -10, followed by Packers at -5, Bills at a very strange +3 and Seahawks at +6.

So GOP Congressmen are demanding that the impeachment hearings include the whistleblower and Hunter Biden.

Middle age comes at you fast. And stuff.

Congratulations. That is great news.

Speaking of bland moderates, Michael Bloomberg has filed to run as a Democrat.
