Does nobody at Descript ever have to stop editing a project and come back to it? There doesn’t seem to ever be any “here’s where you left off” tracking in any of my projects—hence the need for a “HEY CHRIS EDIT HERE” reminder in the script that might get left in the transcript on export.
Wake Up Dead Man is out on Netflix now, but I’d still encourage you to see it in theatres if you can. Not to raise your expectations too high, but it’s literally the best movie ever made in the history of the world I know this sounds like a joke I’m making but I’m 100% for truesies.
If I hadn’t just switched invoicing systems, I’d be hopping on to Studioworks right now after hearing Chris Shiflet & Jessica Hische talk about it on The ShopTalk Show this week. As it is, I still might switch anyway just because I love their vision for it.
If AI can do this, why would you ever take another selfie again?
“Tsin’t molrning ‘ree tnal for?” is so true. I appreciate that it filled in the 9.8K likes the photo is surely going to get. 😆 #Horyupes #TechLife #CoderLife
If Pluribus on AppleTV+ is moving too slowly for you, maybe take a break from TikTok or Reels? 😜 I’m enjoying the pacing and slow reveal each week of another layer or two of how the world is working.
We’re supposedly going from -40C last night to +5C on Tuesday. That’s a pretty swing. And my kid continues to rock the crocs in both extremes. 😆

I feel like every generation has to come to a point with whatever social media app they grew up on where they realize “oh dang… I should’ve put all the energy into my own website instead of Zuckerberg’s.”
The spoilers feature on Threads is awesome when it’s used for actual spoilers on TV / movie / etc. But it’s mostly used for “I’m going to try and get you to click on the hidden text to get more engagement on my generic post” algorithm crap so it becomes useless.
In my “you should start to blog” post from yesterday, somehow my brain completely skipped over suggesting Micro.blog, which is where I write these little posts that get cross-posted and federated out to other sites. Starting at just $1/month, it’s a great option for blogging + social posting.
A 10m walk with Neville is all I could do this morning. I was not dressed for that kind* of weather.
(*the same kind we have every winter where it feels like -25C)

New blog post: You should start a blog now (or later)
Don’t feel bad if you’re struggling to figure out how to fund your podcast. The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers published an episode of their podcast with 25* ad reads just so they could keep it going and they’re rich and famous.
(*slight exaggeration but not fair off)
This week’s “Life as a Lemon” newsletter started off a little 💩, but it ended on a high note. I think? Issue 32 is out now.
Tomorrow’s Life as a 🍋 newsletter is all scheduled and ready to go. You can subscribe here if you’d like some tart thoughts from a Canadian podcast nerd (that’s me) in your inbox most Tuesdays.
