Hello! I'm Devon Giehl, a writer/producer/creative leader sort in LA. I previously worked on Netflix's The Dragon Prince, and before that I was at Riot Games. I'm currently doing some other stuff.
I spend lots of my time writing/drawing the same elves over and over.

My toddler’s hands are covered in a fine mysterious slime at all times so I imagine these are destined to become nasty after approximately two hours of use

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

NEW: The new Apple Watches double as AI-powered listening bugs for generating convo "recaps" or transcripts of any previous 15 seconds. But fear not, Apple says, this data isn't sent to Apple/gets encrypted, speakers aren't ID'd, and there's a chime for the 15-second thing. @lhn.bsky.social reports:
Apple Doesn’t Want You to Worry About the New Apple Watch’s Listening Features
The new Apple Watch includes several “intelligent” listening features that have privacy and security baked in. But the protections can’t change the facts of what the tools do.

Dangerous to release a Nathan Fielder piece of this caliber in an actual theater. That’s too much concentrated discomfort in one place. The building will implode like the titan submersible
there's a teaser trailer and everything youtube.com/watch?v=GGJSRFWALTI&feature=youtu.be

It’s about time we had a reckoning with the need so many writers feel to over-explain everything aspect of their stories, even in non Weird genres. Readers don’t need to be babied. Let us figure things out. Leave room for interpretation. Over-explanation makes writing worse.
Weird fiction seems to be having a moment but without lots of the people trying to write it actually grasping what it is.
I keep reading stories where there’s clearly an attempt at vaguely gesturing towards ‘the Weird’ but they just cant help over-explaining everything. Truly frustrating stuff.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
