‪I'm proud of my years as a graphic designer for Star Trek and other productions. In that work, I am grateful to be represented by IATSE Local 800, the Art Directors Guild. I work for (mostly) good people whose legitimate business interests are sometimes at odds with mine. That’s why I need my union in my corner to ensure that my equally-legitimate interests are properly protected. @ADG800‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

A great look at the way early televison was made with an emphasis on set construction and Lucille Ball as Producer/Star.

OK, so they weren't much for fanfare, but this is one significant moment in Television History: https://twitter.com/TheFigen/status/1558760011421126656?s=20&t=OyggEbY1…

Another version:

I first met Nichelle Nichols in 1985, when I worked at KHNL, a small television station in Honolulu. Nichelle strode into the soundstage, radiating warmth, grace, and beauty. She was kind enough to pose with me for a photo. The next day, I brought in a print and asked her to sign it for me. “Sure,” she said, “as long as you have another print that you’ll sign for me!” I had a spare print of the same photo, so that’s what I gave her. She insisted that I sign it the same as she had signed for me, “with love.” And I still smile when I think of the day that Nichelle Nichols asked ME for MY autograph. Go boldly, Nichelle.

As it should be! Cudos to Jordan Peele

SANTA FE, New Mexico
- "RUST" UPDATE.. $136,793 fine, indifference to employee safety.

The New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau has issued a citation to Rust Movie Productions LLC following its investigation into the accidental shooting death in October of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins at the Bonanza Creek Ranch south of Santa Fe.

The bureau found "plain indifference to employee safety" on the Rust film set and a "failure to follow firearm safety procedures," according to a report on the investigation released Wednesday.

Authorities have said Hutchins, 42, was fatally shot Oct. 21 in a church building on the ranch when a revolver held by actor Alec Baldwin, who was a star and co-producer of the film project, discharged during a rehearsal.

Director Joel Souza was wounded in the incident.

Rust Movie Productions was issued a "willful-serious" citation, the state's highest workplace violation, and faces a maximum fine of $136,793. State law gave the agency six months to issue any citations.

"Our investigation found that this tragic incident never would have happened if Rust Movie Productions, LLC had followed national film industry standards for firearm safety," state Environment Secretary James Kenney said in a statement. "This is a complete failure of the employee to follow recognized national protocols that keep employees safe."

Anyone have more on this?
