A lot of you could cut down on the stress in your life by not arguing online with people who don't respect your opinions.

I got suckered into picking it up and it's pretty bad but i prob should have just stopped buying the occasional acclaimed Batman trades after Hush.

Do all these people alleging the Democrats are going to steal the midterms know that the 2024 election happened?
Watching A Day of The Dead parade in Mexico and the traditional costumes are fantastic then come the Jedi, Irish and Viking organizations. It's funny to think of the children killed at the Jedi Temple, victims of the potato famine and Viking raiders waking up in Mexican Heaven

Reached a new milestone in aging last night: no more wine pairings with dinner when i have yo work the next day. I was still able to get in a decent workout so i can still do that for now.
Well dip me in honey and throw me to the Greek People's Liberation Army.
#OtD 30 Oct 1944 the left-wing Greek People's Liberation Army liberated Thessaloniki from Nazi occupation. They stopped the Nazis from blowing up power plants and food factories and attacked retreating German units, then paraded through the streets stories.workingclasshistory.…

We at American Dad! have so much gratitude and love for Patrick Stewart. He said how happy he was to do American Dad! because he was so rarely asked to do comedy, which is insane, as his ability to get the laugh was uncanny. Thank you, Sir, for sharing your joyful spirit, inspiring voice, and willingness to be ridiculous. You turned Avery Bullock, Deputy Director of the CIA, into someone the world loved and couldn't get enough of. We will miss you.

#OTD Oct 29, 1931: William Grant Still’s “Afro-American Symphony” was 1st presented by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. The 1st symphony composed by a Black composer to be performed by a major orchestra. It combines a fairly traditional symphonic form with blues progressions and rhythms that were characteristic of popular African-American music at the time.

「宇宙戦艦ヤマト」で波動砲、主砲、パルスレーザー等などの効果音を作成した柏原満さんも、西崎Pから「SF作品のメカが出す音なので、今まで誰も聞いたことのないような音が欲しい」と要求され、あれらの音を作ったそうです。西崎Pは一発OKを出したそうですよ。
特に主砲のビームエネルギーが収束されて放出しているような音は感心されたそうです。波動砲発射段階の音もね、凄いと言われたとか。
ヤマトが攻撃を受けて艦内で何かが破壊された時、ガラスが砕けるような音が聞こえるのは色々苦心して、精密なメカが壊れたという繊細さを出すためにああいう音にしたという話も聞きました。
昭和の効果音職人は、さらっと場面場面に合う音を作っているけど、アナログでどうやってんだ?というのがありますものね。
柏原満さん曰く、意外にも電子音を作る際にシンセサイザーのような機材を使用するより、アナログの方がそれらしい音が出来るそうです。
こういう技術も失われつつあるのだと思います。
効果音職人って、作品のファンにはあんまり注目されていない印象がありますが、結構凄いんですよ。
I was renting at a cowork space on 3rd Street and Instacart had their area office there. It was interesting to see it work in the early days when drivers could come in to talk to the manager directly and boy did i not see how big it would become.

From 2006 to about 2009, my life fell apart and kept falling apart. My startup imploded and my mental health went into steep decline. By this point, i was making about $16 an hour and hustling design & programming jobs to meet minimum payments for things. Things got better.
I was thinking how sad this was until i remembered i hung out with older people, worked at a bookstore, did theater in high school and was pathologically extroverted so i'd wind up at a construction site watching someone i just met play flute for me by candle light.
