Thank you, Atlanta! WE had a great time connecting with inventors, patent lawyers and patent agents to share ideas to help underresourced inventors during our Patent Pro Bono Program: Pathways to Inclusive Innovation at @EmoryUniversity School of Law.

“Squid Game” increased the value of Netflix by an estimated $900 million. It also made South Korean writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk famous — but not rich. In his contract, he had forfeited all intellectual property rights and received no residuals. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…

B5 was probably the most influential show on television for me. I even own the whole thing on VHS (from when you got it via a subscription in the mail). Of course I want to see the reboot. #B5onCWin23
The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23
.@PitchBook has just named #STL as the top market in the US for female-founded startups! Female-founded startups here have seen 187% growth in capital raised since 2020 — ranking us ahead of much larger markets. Help us share the good news! bit.ly/3UoWKyG

It sure doesn’t feel that long.
"Star Wars & More" podcasting for half a decade: A Lawyer's Guide To The Galaxy (@LGGPod) premiered five years ago today, on August 10, 2017. Congrats to @BenjaminSiders, @kirkdmn and their listeners for reaching this goal. Daniel (@StarWarsNowThis)🙂👍

I think you left out a possible cause. Because search results got better, there are fewer results available. Hard to explain in a tweet, but if any question asked of google has a “best” answer, then returning ONLY that “best” answer is technically a perfect search.

I’m going to disagree with my co-host here. I’m about halfway through and found the following: I find the story compelling if a bit forced occasionally, but more importantly, the cinematography and design (particularly the use of color) is really quite superb.
Finally got around to watching the Wheel of Time pilot. Eh. It’s basically the same as the books: an interesting idea poorly executed.

Excited for this! I just listened to the rewind where Kirk mentioned Shadowrun - as a fellow former player, did you ever play the trilogy of turn-based Shadowrun games by @WeBeHarebrained from a few years ago?
