For @SecondWindGroup.com, I discussed the arrival of YouTubers like the Philippous, Chris Stuckmann and Kogonada into mainstream filmmaking.

What happens when directors arrive from new media? What does Hollywood want from them? What do they want from it?

It's a riff on the simpsons "bart's dead" meme. In panel 1 lisa carts bart in to their parents room on a wagon saying MOM DAD DEMONSCHOOL IN FORTNIGHT
panel 2 shows marge and homer aghast
panel 3 shows a smiling bart saying "THAT'S RIGHT! 2 weeks
A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks)."

on a more serious note, gotta come back to season one of DS9 and finish it this year
and rewatch The Wire from season two cause it's a lovely episode with Bashir and Garak (maybe even do this on my birthday cause why not)

wretched automaton @halfbloodgamer.bsky.social · 1d

the thumbnail implying that Marty wasn't on DS9 is outrageous, his chemistry with Odo and Garak was the heart of the show!

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

I am incredibly honored to have been commissioned by Digital Extremes for this year's Movember glyphs! That's right! Two of them! (technically!)

Timelapse, progress shots, and loads more in the replies! Thanks again to the wonderful folks at DE for this opportunity!!

Black and white alternative glyph, also available in-game!

*End users* can opt out, and will be able to check in the player whether they are watching a real or upscaled video. But I am very curious, if you could put an exact cost on this decision in terms of kWh/atmospheric CO2, what the total would come to.

Trektober 30 - The women of Star Trek fandom!

Star Trek has a long history of fandom (One of the first!) and women are such an integral part of it that I thought I would highlight some of them!

(Long thread upcoming)

Back in 2004, CBS aired a sci-fi Legal Drama called Century City starring Viola Davis and Ioan Gruffudd that took place in the year 2030 where Oprah is currently president.

Please bear witness to how insane these two paragraphs are on its Wikipedia page.

~HORSE ARMOR~ is the most maligned DLC in video game history. Does it deserve all the hate?
