New unwanted sensation: Due to a bad confluence of changing insurers and Rx renewals I had to skip my antidepressant for a few days, and damn, two days of cold turkey have hit me like a truck in the form of flu symptoms. Stuffed nose, watery eyes, foggy head, can't sleep. Ugh, do not recommend.

It's fun when you change insurers and everything medical in your whole family just sorta goes into a limbo and you have to sort everything out and hope that all the things happening before still will.

Super loud party a few houses away, taking up all the street parking. Probably a graduation party.

I'm all for it; so little chances to be happy about things I will vicariously share in their enjoyment and it's not going to kill me to park a little farther away than usual once in a while.

It's nice to hear people laughing and enjoying themselves, because you know :waves arms around:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1475810/Ghostwire_Tokyo/

I spent as much time parkouring from building top to buidling top in Tokyo as playing the game part; bummed that the studio is gone and we'll never see a sequel to it.

I really felt like I was running through creepy empty Tokyo with a reason for it to be devoid of NPCs and that was really cool. It's plateaus a little in game mechanic interest towards the end, but I still loved it and did a bunch of side stuff.

Worth it at $6 on Steam's Summer Sale.

I remember our school principal announcing it over the PA. I thought, "Space Shuttles don't just 'blow up.'" I was in a video production class, so I ran to a TV to watch coverage. I was so wrong.

In 1985 my parents took my brother and I to Florida, and we were lucky enough to see the Challenger launch. It's an astounding thing to see a space launch in person.

People just assumed space was easy now, and it wasn't exciting to most people. Just routine. It will never be routine.

On this day, forty years ago: 28 January 1986.

Someone came in & told us the awful news. After so many launches & astronauts, we’d grown blasé & didn’t pay much attention anymore.

That changed in 73 seconds on that cold day & we learned again that space is hard.

I still remember their names:

NO, GORE, NO!

My man, you have *no* idea what you are talking about here. No one is doing real creature stuff for LED volumes, and Maya is not a renderer anyone uses for final output. Certainly not in any of your Mandalorian examples from ILM is that happening. Hero CG work is almost always added later. (For Trek it's ALWAYS)

You could an argument about Unreal as a renderer versus VRay or Arnold or Solaris, but it's more the artist, not the tools.

This is why a Newsom Presidential run is a non-starter. He's fun trolling Trump, but this kind of shit makes the left justifiably hate him.

Josh always puts it better than I could.

"...Nor can any of this be separated from the broader domestic and global fabric of Trumpism, the casual illegality, the impetuousness and more than anything else the simple but always visible premise that Trump owns the United States, its military, its people, its wealth, everything. Someone told me earlier that this was like Trump taking his ICE raids global. And yeah, it pretty much is."

Sooo, I guess the 60 Minutes segment was accidentally uploaded to a network station's streaming app in Canada, and people have captured it and put it on archive.org.

"Canada’s Global News aired the “60 Minutes” episode without the segment on television, as did CBS, but the network’s Global TV app mistakenly uploaded the wrong episode to its streaming app."--Variety
