Once I saw this meme format I couldn't resist making a version about video editing 🤪

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

It's called a vanishing point in perspective because that's the point where all my artistic intelligence vanishes

If you see me working the front counter at that bagel shop, no you didn't

Truly, the government and economy have both been long dead, and we're just being forced to cover our eyes and dance

who do I gotta pay to 3D print me an Arachne knife?

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Every Runner cinematic has been masterclass. Each one oozes atmosphere and communicates the character's core idea with a condensed story in a nearly silent film package. And don't get me started on the SHOTS. I'd seriously use these as examples if I had a class to teach cinematography.

I'll call this week. Thanks for sharing the story, I'll mention it.

jfc, literally blocks away from me. The speeding is insane out here. The closest thing we get to speed humps are fucking potholes.

Screenshot of a headline from politico that reads: fears over who can win in 2028 are already surfacing among democrats

Here's the thing: Democrats already know who can win. They know which policies are popular with voters and which candidates are vocally in support of those policies. They're going to throw a billion dollars into trying to prevent those candidates from becoming the nominee.

Hell yeah brother

It should be required they put up notices like they do for filming if they're gonna remove everybody's ability to park in a residential area with tons of apartments and zero parking structures...

LADOT: Hey, you can't park on your street for 12 hours today.
Me: Oh that sucks but it's not that ba-
LADOT: I hung up a new sign. You can't park on your street for a WEEK. Fuck you.
Me: Can I at least know why?
LADOT: lol <flips me off> no

when a person dies in las vegas their body’s water is returned to the bellagio fountain

YESSSSS

Nothing beats doing soul crushing Sekiguchi contracts on Dire Marsh solo, and blasting on prox chat "DON'T HURT ME, I'M JUST DOING QUESTS" and every person you run into is like "SAME SAME, GOOD LUCK".
Anxiety lobby.

SO COOL

Buddy.

Someday it'll happen. It WILL.
Don't give up. Live to see that day and make the world a better place.

Was it a shitpost? Yeah. Are shitposts stupid and can they actually have the opposite effect than intended? Yep.

Man I don't even want to engage with that post. It feels reductive and belittling to the amazing craftwork and complexity that this medium requires.
Games stunt on multiple mediums, simultaneously, and we still like to call it a childish plaything with all the baggage that carries.
