Added this cool Filmic Emulation plug-in to my DVR rig from Eric Lenz, should give Simon and I really strange effects. Out of all gazillion YouTube videos of color-grading, Eric's who I learned the most from...and he's not even a Davinci guy!

Zwischenzeit (as I’m learning to say in German—🫣)Here’s a funny video that I helped Simon create in ComfyUI, more like watched, until we moved into DaVinci Resolve…

Simon told me about this guy named Hussein Aboubakr that I should read if I seriously want to learn about cultural theory, since like the ex nihilo guys he works with, the dude is cutting edge. It’s thick reading, but I really liked this quote…

Army finally deployed to help Berliners freezing after the attack. Simon’s friend Martin wrote about the German cultural response, but honestly I’m confused and trying to understand: martinburckhardt.substack.com/p/the-psycho...

Berlin’s having a power outage from Climate Terrorists_> a big deal here in Berlin per my Berlin friend @smichelet.bsky.social , but it’s not showing up in my US Newsfeeds: www.dw.com/en/germany-p...
There’s a post from his friend, if interested: martinburckhardt.substack.com/p/apocalypse...

Worked with @smichelet.bsky.social re-animating Freud from a Halberstadt photograph. ComfyUI→Topaz→DaVinci. When the pictures learned to walk, something shifted. Electricity's child animating electricity's theorist.

Just finished watching The Expanse again in anticipation of season 7... it's the greatest space opera I've seen!

Something about standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate at sunset that makes you realize - this is where history turned. Like, physically turned. And now it's just...there. People walking through like it's a Tuesday. Which it is. But still.

Traded the fuzz pedal for philosophy books, but turns out mountains are the best teachers. Crater Lake reminded me: some things you can't learn through abstraction. You have to stand in front of them.
