LB: Sure, but he was such a stickler for realism he made sure they filmed on location.

@djsundog @noelle @tek *sigh* That's my third instance suspension today. Seems to come in waves.

The tedious part was editing out the ambulance sirens, as the video was recorded close-ish to a hospital.

I just edited a 40 minute video that was nothing but wind chimes and a thunder storm.

Editing such a video is not nearly as calming as listening to it, but the good news is I'll get to do that, too.

@Downes They've fallen in with a baaaad crowd, and are hoping to pull the wool over your eyes as they fleece you.

Almost posted a political hot take here.

Typed it and deleted it.

This account is not the forum I intend to use for such things regardless of how strongly I feel about them.

Shout-out to all the musicians who cover songs but enunciate the lyrics more clearly than the original artists, so that 30+ years later I'm just now understanding what the songs were about.

That or I'm really slow, but there's room for overlap in that Venn diagram.

I've made the switch from Subway Tooter to Tusky. Not sure if I'd just gotten too used to a different interface or not but this will take some adjusting.

Tusky has you switch accounts the same way Google apps do it, rather than letting me just swipe left or right to the account's columns.

But Tusky blocks fascists, so that makes up for it.

SciShow did an episode on 5 women in Engineering, including a trans woman. Cool.

Also I am very excited about some of the changes that will be happening next year. Having two Media Arts / Technology teachers in the building is opening some options that were previously closed to us.

I was going to get so much done today.

And then I checked my work email.

I'm glad I checked it as it was important and involved what we're doing next school year, but I should be back home from running errands and I've yet to leave.
