If Only Digital Audio Files Wore Out Like Records?

for literal decades, US schools have policed the clothing of young girls and the clothing and hair of black students so meticulously it’s straight up harassment, but now that they’re being asked to enforce a mask mandate in schools, which, btw, is a million times simpler and easier to enforce than these absurd dress codes, they “can’t control students in that way” because they “value student’s bodily autonomy” stfu and tell us with your whole chest that you’re scared of the rich white soccer mom PTA head cutting funding and you don’t think women & black students deserve bodily autonomy.

🤔

The real measure of a writer is what oddly specific tropes show up constantly in their work and make you question What Happened

To quote George Carlin... bullshit is truly the American soundtrack

Watch "MARINA - Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land (Official Visual)" on YouTube

You know how in a bad movie, a scene will keep going *on and on* after it ends, just to pad out the runtime?

After all, live action costs minimal effort and time to keep recording.

For traditional animation, though?

Never before had I seen several seconds of animated empty silence.

Carl the Animator: “…how many more frames of this do we need to do?”

Ted the Animator: “Hey, when Hanna-Barbera wants padding, they’re not foolin’ around. Keep those background adjustments coming.”

A dream takes flight! Today, our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet.

In a video captured by our Perseverance Mars rover, the helicopter is shown hovering above the Red Planet's surface. During this first flight, the helicopter climbed to an altitude of 10 feet (3 meters), hovered, and then touched back down on the surface of Mars.

More images and video to come...

Join us at 2 p.m. ET (18:00 UTC) for an analysis of Ingenuity’s first flight and what's to come:
