The only sensible thing to do with Trump's "Gettysburg, Wow" speech in Pennsylvania was to make a one-minute documentary film of it. These are all his real words. I added some "bing bongs" at the start. "Never fight uphill, me boys! Never fight uphill."#FunWithPhotoshop youtu.be/4FTMXWgP5R4

Gettysburg, Wowyoutu.be My one-minute documentary that uses Trump's rally speech, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, April 13, 2024.

@tvaziri.com I bet you anything that sometime in the near future, we'll get a BTS video showing the CG guys working hand in hand with the demonologists and exorcists. So tired of Hollywood's BS. www.theonion.com/beetlejuice-...

@philplait.bsky.social I know some hardcore hobbyists are looking down on the new smart-scopes. But I had my 1st chance to use mine tonight & got this after just a few minutes of exposures in a Bortle 7 sky, no post-processing (learning that next). Mission accomplished, "toy" scope, I'm hooked.

Also, with both candidates being elderly, one becomes more concerned about the people they hire to run the country. Biden’s people will be at worst, to riff on P.J. O’Rourke, wrong within normal parameters, while Trump’s people will be historically sociopathic. Not a close call.

“You should never be proud of doing what's right. You should just do what's right." Watching UNC-Syracuse, happy to see ESPN talking about Charlie Scott’s legacy and Dean Smith’s involvement in the civil rights movement. I think about this story all the time. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colle...

@tvaziri.com Have you seen this very clever Texas switch-infused long take in the horror movie Orphan: First Kill? They had to switch child actor doubles with the adult actress repeatedly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ehw...

When Prods, Dirs etc insist that no VFXs were used, it also does DPs, such as myself, a disservice. Its used against us. It places unrealistic expectations and creates harsh comparisons ("This other DP was able to do the shot. Why can't you?)

The Daily Show featured a medical expert who is an anti vaxxer (for real, not as a joke) and that isn’t even the worst thing about him! vajenda.substack.com/p/the-daily-...

@kenwhite.bsky.social Are contempt of court sanctions appealable? If Engoron decided to get Trump's attention w/a meaningful fine or jail time, what ability would he have to appeal it & what's the likelihood that an appeal would be in his favor given how blatantly he ignored the gag?

@kenwhite.bsky.social Chesebro pleading guilty right now.

Am I the only one that gets excited by what I call the, "Up Button Eclipse" on BlueSky? The circular Up button is the exact same size as the profile pic and I get irrationally pleased when through my natural scrolling it just happens to perfectly align and cover one of them.
