If this is for something that's definitely going into production, I'd suggest Final Draft, purely because it makes things a bit easier for the production team, but also final draft can be a pain and costs too much, so if its just a spec, ignore this advice.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

That gender survey is BS. Gen Z men where???

That big scary survey about Gen Z men being more regressive than Boomers is so flawed. An image of young men is being manufactured in the media and we should be very concerned about that.

Why do pollsters keep doing this???

Not at all. But what im saying is that normal people are simply not talking about Kirk at all, which is incredibly telling about the success of the martyrdom efforts.

And what im saying is that those efforts are failing, have already failed, and that they're doing themselves more damage by continuing to try.

Because its from the same playbook as "we can't prosecute Trump". It justifies inaction

You're right, it doesn't. But how effective is it on their own supporters?

They didn't need him to be an example of 'left wing violence'. They would make up other examples.

But suggesting that his death made him more effective is a dangerous idea.

Sure. And how many normal people, including right wingers, think thats ok or normal?

Attempts to turn him into a martyr and actually doing so are not the same thing.

He's useful within the cult. But hes no longer out there recruiting new members. And as their cult fractures, he'll be as well-remembered as Horst Wessel.

Is he? Most of the attempts to turn him into a martyr have fallen flat because normal people were suddenly introduced to his shitty views they hadn't seen in their social feeds.

Meanwhile his death has caused real fractures within MAGA.

Second. His boss was the first.

The way the US comes back from this is by arresting everyone even tangentially responsible - particularly those who financed the corrupt election campaigns. Then trying them in a very public way, with every scrap of evidence available to view. Then seeing they receive the absolute maximum sentences

When this all falls, its going to be far more cost-efficient to try your criminals in the US. Flying thousands of people to the hague costs money. Use some of their own concentration camps.

Slightly Janky Artemis Separation Sequence Animation YouTube video by TinyMonolith

The world is broken, have a very silly video showing the separation sequence of the Artemis II spacecraft to make it a little bit better.

Probably worth pointing out, I'm very much not an animator, so this is a bit janky.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Artemis II Astronauts Will Bring 10-Year-Old DSLRs With Them to the Moon Mirrorless is being left on terra firma.

Take Hasselblads you cowards. Film ones.

Well, at least take one, for nostalgia sake

The broadcast was on a 2-hour delay and one of the winner’s speeches was edited down when they ended it with “Free Palestine,” but they left this in? The producers did everyone dirty with that.
