Your neighbors probably think you're a water waster - L.A. Times http://www.latimes.com/local...
"A poll released this week suggests that as California enters a fourth year of drought, blaming the neighbors is no longer just a social media fad. A large majority – 66% – of Californians believe people in their part of the state are not doing enough to respond to the drought, according to a statewide survey by the Public Policy Institute of California." - Victor Ganata
So people really are freaking out about the drought, but my cynicism makes me think that the majority of people participating in #droughtshaming probably aren't doing very much to conserve water themselves. - Victor Ganata

"Shame On Deadline" For Suggesting Hollywood Has Too Many Minorities - L.A. Weekly http://www.laweekly.com/news...
"In Los Angeles, nearly three out of four people is a minority. In California, Latinos recently surpassed whites as the largest ethnic/racial group. And the United Sates population is now more than one-third (37 percent) minority." - Victor Ganata
Hah! No, because of established power structures in Hollywood. The majority of agents, execs, casting directors, directors are white. Also, POCs aren't one monolithic "ethnic" bloc. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

I think Robotech has a lot to do with my love of mashups, crossovers, and genre-bending.
This is probably the only reason why the combination of idol singers (including crossdressing idol singers), space opera, and the post-apocalypse make complete and total logical sense to me. - Victor Ganata
Plus the whole trope of Admiral Rick Hunter as some Arthurian archetype really captured my imagination. - Victor Ganata
