Aha! I'm sorry, I was just testing if this automatic connection between WordPress and BlueSky *really* worked.
The answer: **it does**!

Speaking of which: someone made a Blender plugin to integrate both Blender *and* Cascadeur — make a change on one, it reflects on the other! How cool is that?

Granted, I can't use it on my Mac, though. It has all the minimum specs and then some, but, sadly, it cannot run macOS 13. Bummer! Why, oh why, do these developers follow Apple's lead in turning everything prematurely obsolete?? I mean, I have a 2009 Mac running Ubuntu 20, which *is* supported...

On the other hand, I like their business model very much! Pay for a year, get an unlimited, perpetual licence afterwards. Cool!! It's just that I'm really, really counting pennies these days, and no matter how cheap Cascadeur really is, it's something I'll have to postpone...

But what shall I do with my gazillion BVH files, hmm?
I only used BVH-compatible tools back then (Poser, Qavimator, DAZ3D)... I'd need to convert them first to something "modern". And, of course, I never rigged anything, I just twisted bone joints...

Oh wow. All righty! This is the goods! I think... I'd need to spend some months on it, though, to vaguely understand how it truly works; I liked how you sort of overlap video frames and specify a rig to make things much, much easier. That almost encourages me to get my old anims and Bentoify them 😅

Unfortunately, I totally believe you're right.

But the remaining 7.7 billion human beings that also get affected don't have a vote, and have to rely on those 330 millions or so to choose wisely.
As the past two decades show, this is hardly guaranteed.

As a European, since 2004 at least, I've been manifesting my opinion to my tiny circle that the whole world ought to have a saying in who gets elected POTUS. As the (incumbent) Leader of the Free World, what the POTUS does impacts directly the whole world — not just the USA.

And aye, it was written by You-Know-Who. The very same whose speeches are alleged to be on the POTUS bed table.
You know, @maddow.msnbc.com, when all this is over — taking a dozen years or half a century — historians of the future will use the acronym 'Maga' as we use 'Nazi' today...

Definitely, the US of A are hardly becoming your run-of-the-mill, kick-this-stone-to-look-below-it fascist autocracy. We thought we had seen it all in the past century — the model for Project 2025, after all, was written exactly a century ago (well, it will be a hundred years old in July).

'If it's done in the open, in full transparency, it cannot possibly be _illegal_'
With that motto in mind, sure, it's even possible for T. to shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it, as he threatened in 2015 — all he needs to do is to give advance notice and have Fox filming it all.

I mean, I'm used to fascism censoring everything they do behind doors. But in T's White House?... why, the very doors to the Oval Office are open to allow anyone to come in and buy Maga merch!
And the theory behind that openness is...

Lovely graph! Looking at the USA from my vantage point across the Atlantic, the only thing I can say is that nothing feels more surreal than watching corruption unfold, 'live and in full colour', absolutely in the open (even bragging about it!), with zero concern about its consequences.
