I’m at a loss. No words. I’ve been part of two big families with Grant Imahara over the last 22 years. Grant was a truly brilliant engineer, artist and performer, but also just such a generous, easygoing, and gentle PERSON. Working with Grant was so much fun. I’ll miss my friend.

Grant and I bonded early at ILM and called each other “Doctor” the entire 22 years we knew each other. This photo is from the last job I did at ILM, Terminator 3. A month after it was taken, I started filming MythBusters. Grant would join us two years later.

. Long have I loved you, but giving a famous sock puppet (and self-aggrandizer about his huge IQ) a platform to discuss “civility” and decry the death of “facts” when he’s proven that he’s perfectly willing to lie to support his own agenda is a baaad look for you.
When Dilbert creator Scott Adams supported Trump in 2016, he estimated he lost about 30 percent of his income and 75 percent of his friends. Could the conversation have been different on a more 'civil' internet?
