Excellent conversation with Regina King. One Night in Miami has been added to my wife’s and my “watch list”. Looking forward to it. Read more

King did such an amazing job with this movie. One Night in Miami could only be told well and feel authentic because it is helmed and acted by Black voices with Black experiences. Perhaps one day soon we will see more and more projects made this way and it will begin to allow more than just the white gaze to showcase mo… Read more

These are lovely; says something that this post has been up for days & some of us are just getting to see it  Read more

Sometimes it feels as if the hardest part of finishing a story is creating a title. This title is perfect. It has a horror feel: the basement of Dracula’s castle or something. Read more

Wow, this is a good story...and a familiar one. I filed a landmark Fair Housing federal lawsuit for which this story could have been a metaphor. I encourage you to send it to HUD and various Fair Housing organizations around the country for reprint in their newsletters, trainings, etc. When discrimination happens to… Read more

Honestly, this season’s OWL has been super fun to watch. I’m a huge Gladiators fan and never miss a match (I’m from LA so bite me!). Atlanta Reign have been killing it, Washington Justice surprised me vs the Shock the other day. Yeah, there’s some 3-0verwatch every now and again. But when the games are back and forth… Read more

You also have to keep in mind that the Romulans didn’t really have a very stable government. We know from TNG that the Romulans military and Tal Shiar don’t trust each other. In DS9, there’s political maneuvering and backstabbing between Romulans politicians. The in Nemesis, Shinzon killed the Romulans Senate with the… Read more

I can’t stress this enough...do background checks and always hire SMART/DEDICATED people. At the end of the day, YOU are responsible for your employees actions. Fire often and early.

Down payment on condo. Fingers crossed bitcoin keeps going up!  Read more

This comes up in Star Trek VI as well. After hearing of the Klingon’s plight some members of Star Fleet suggest that it would be the perfect time to strike, while the Klingon’s were “on their knees” Read more

We are saving to pay off our house. We feel that we can pay it off in two years. We have budgeted in all of our bills along with gas and food. Every two weeks we take out $60 apiece to spend on random crap and the rest of our money goes toward our house. Once we have that paid off, we will have zero debt!  Read more

You know, as much as people keep talking about how Starfleet has become darker and the Federation in general has lost its utopian nature, I keep noticing how the setting wasn’t really ever as “utopian” as people seem to think. I mean sure, DS9 really foregrounded some of the less savory elements of the Federation, and… Read more

Currently saving up a down payment for a new car - I’m about halfway there and hoping to have the rest by summer when the 2020s go on sale. Read more

i’m saving up to find a helper for my mom, who’s had some health problems over the years. my younger brother has been watching/living with her, and I want to give him his freedom back while making sure she’s OK. Read more

to go to Colombia with my fiancee. no emails, no slack messages, no nothing! Read more

hm, as a freelance photographer/DP, I’d use it to build a financial safety net when work goes through a dry spell (unfortunately the nature of the game). IF work is going well, though, and I feel ok splurging on myself a bit, I’d head to the beaches of Honduras, where my family is from (and I haven’t been since I was… Read more

Yes! Also, when you find good recruiters that contact you, and you take the call, be their friend. I know so much about my recruiters life. We talked about personal stuff for TWO years before she found me a job. Many people would think that’s a waste, but then I got an amazing job offer at startup. Six years later… Read more

Great advice. Also keep in mind, that at the end of the day, you are a replaceable commodity to your employer. If they can find better/cheaper/faster employees, or your job becomes redundant, they will not hesitate to replace you. Always keep your head on a swivel.  No company is TRULY loyal to an employee, so don’t… Read more
