I got laid off from my six figure job and it’s sucks.
I’ve applied for hundreds of jobs and gone through endless interviews and never made it across the finish line and it suck’s.
I took a physical labor job in the interim and am broke as hell and that sucks.
I lift stuff all day and walk miles doing stupid things all day long.
You know what doesn’t suck?
I had chronic lower back pain for years and after three months I have zero back pain even though I’m constantly bending over lifting things from 30 to 80 pounds.
I’m not constantly self monitoring everything I say in awareness the HR Karen’s want to come get me.
I can do something and see the immediate result of my actions.
I desperately want to get back to my career life, but objectively this has been like a vacation and a life reset.
Moral of the story: Good things can come from bad things in ways you don’t expect. Take a moment to recognize and appreciate them when they do.
I just did a change of address with USPS and got sucked into a funnel of private business bs asking for personal details so they could spam me with endless marketing bs.
Why is the gov a marketing arm for Verizon and endless other businesses when I just want my mail to come to me?
I remember this from the very beginning and am amazed every day how easy it is to propagandize practically the entire planet.
I also remember the state dept and Hilary Clinton orchestrating a color revolution to try and start a war with Russia.
It’s funny how none of that is ever part of story.
I just had the wildest sleep and wake up and wonder if anyone else has experienced the same.
I slept for about 4 hours super deep sleep, lots of dreams and then woke up straight from a dream.
It was pitch black, no sound except the fan, and I had a complete blank slate of where I was or my surroundings.
I dint mean for a couple seconds, but for long enough for me to start thinking logically.
I was literally like “If I’m here I’m here to protect someone, and it’s quite so they must be safe”
It pieced together but it was like a complete reboot.
I love how this guy makes a post that is asking Americans a direct question and then disables the replies to the post.
I’m guessing things weren’t going as he hoped because he had zero idea of the real sentiment of actual Americans.
Has anyone’s older iPhone had huge charging problems since the new iPhone release?
I made a joke about exactly this right before these because it happened before to me, but honestly I can barely charge it even with a charger you just set on.
One of the funniest things about working nights is posting on X and being sad no one responds to my stuff at 3:00 AM and then am somehow surprised hours later when they do during normal human hours.
I’ve never even heard of this before. I love it when I learn something completely new.
Your replies are disabled by the way.
Before WW2 the British navy ruled the seas and went a century without naval defeat.
Britain created the Dreadnought that revolutionized naval warfare and made the navies of the entire world obsolete practically overnight
Britain fought tooth and nail and was willing to literally fight to the death against a global tyrannical aggression.
Within a lifetime they have rolled over and have given in to a tyrannical gov, invasion from the the third world and can’t effectively deploy even a token naval task force much less even be bothered to protect its own clearly defined borders as an island and are clearly to an outside observer being erased as a culture and a people.
What happened? Did all the good men die in the last two world wars and they fit bred into a nation of cucks?
I closed my windows for the first time in maybe 6 months. Can’t stop sneezing. I don’t know that I’ve sneezed at all during that time.
Why? The house is super clean. I’m all congested and WTF?
Any ideas?
Creepy: I turned on a Dracula movie on Amazon Prime 3 minutes ago on my laptop, logged onto the Amazon Prime app on my phone and am getting special ads for Dracula bobble head toys.
I know they are connected but really? Do they have to be so obvious about it and do it immediately?
This phenomenal. Truly phenomenal.
TALES OF GRIMWICKE — Chapter I is 22 minutes of AI fantasy animation inspired by the many anthropomorphic animal stories I read as a kid, with a dark twist:
The model: Seedance 2.5 (@ByteDanceSeed_ ) via @Segmind_ai. 847 takes generated, mostly 30-second multi-shot prompts, over 5 hours of footage. 127 clips made the cut. About $4.5k in generation, four weeks from first take to publish.
Characters and locations came out of @midjourney. Using MJ for the location plates was a revelation: the cinematography and art direction are a level above, and it renders far better as a plate than Nano Banana or GPT Image. Nano Banana (@GoogleDeepMind run on @fal) did the heavy lifting editing those plates, building anchor frames and turning MJ characters into turnaround sheets. Then I let Seedance do as much of the framing and camera operating as possible. That gave the best results.
A lot of what I do in my Unreal Engine films came with me: a handheld, imperfect camera operator instead of smooth moves, focus hunting, and above all weather and atmospherics. The model does water, snow, smoke and rain really well, and leaning into that is what keeps it from looking like a Temu Pixar film.
The tools I built: a portal (Node on @flydotio) that holds the bible, the refs, every prompt and every take, with a Claude agent (@claudeai) that writes the prompts to the house rules. A Premiere Pro (@AdobeVideo) panel that browses the archive, drops selects on the timeline, versions the project, strips music, and sends fixes back to Seedance. Everything is done in 720p with no upscaling, because it looks terrible. Narration is my own voice through @ElevenLabs speech-to-speech. Music from @Artlist_io.
None of this would exist without @PJaccetturo and @Kavanthekid. Their narrative work, Nexus and Chronicles of Bone, proved long-form AI film was possible, and their podcasts, newsletters and X posts, updated constantly as the workflow changes under everyone's feet, showed how to actually do it.
Chapter II is currently in the works and I will release it initially on my YouTube channel, The Darkest Age (@CharlieDriscollAI). Consider subscribing there to see it as soon as it drops!
