Fans stand with the #SAGAFTRA strikers!

Avatar. I think of Cameron as the premier entertainment engineer, more machine now than man.
I think it requires real human empathy to create deep characters and compelling narratives but those are optional in blockbusters.

if the house doesn't budge, I expect President Biden to act unilaterally to protect the American and World economy.

I'm really struggling to get any kind of engagement here. Not sure if it's me, the platform, or if the crowd I'm most often engaging with have switched back to Twitter b/c of the strike.
