Hello world

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I just love that the movie production code word is "Umami".
Please, please don't screw this up, guys. 🙏

Yikes!

Have a little dose of happiness. 😍

The night sky was meant to be seen, shared, and quietly respected.

Good lighting is simple. Use only what you need.
Aim it down. Keep it soft. Let the dark exist where it should.

We don’t need more light. We need better light.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics:

Two Catholics and a Muslim and they are more investigators a-la X-files than crime fighters, but I don't care because this show was great fun.
