I’m looking at a preliminary, completely fucking basic, bare minimum budget for a project coming up soon and like, it’s still so much money. It’s under-compensating people relative to their creative worth and not getting so much of the stuff we want and need, and using free sets and (some) free equipment, and it’s still thousands of dollars for two days and I have no idea how we’re gonna pull it together.
I say this because I’m looking at this, thinking how tempting it would be – and, quite frankly, how easy it would be – to call in favors and ask people to do some of these things for free. But you can’t. You can’t do that. We’re not in high school or college anymore, we’re not at the high end of the entertainment industry where we get paid the big bucks and can do fun side projects for free, but the people I know are working entertainment industry professionals, scraping by, and you can’t ask people to do what they’ve trained at, what they’re good at, how they make (never enough) money, for free, because it’s shitty. We aren’t entitled to make movies, no matter how much we want to, and if you’re doing something that requires a number of people, a lot of talent, you’ve gotta make sure everyone has something to gain from it.
Not exposure.
I don’t say this to pat myself on the back and be like LOOK AT ME, I’M DOING THE RIGHT THING. I say it because I get how fucking tempting it is to fuck people over and excuse it somehow. It really is. When you wanna do something so bad and it seems so far out of reach because money’s a fucking bitch that rules and ruins our lives (or rather, the lack of it does). And I talk about this a lot, about not screwing people over, about paying your cast and crew, because I know I’m too proud to be a hypocrite about it. I’m keeping myself accountable, like I want to keep everyone else accountable, and I hope you all will too.
Anyway. Ranting. Time to go off and drink and draw up plans to rob a small bank.

Guantanamo Bay Begins Construction On Senior Care Wing
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA—Saying the expansion would ensure the facility is adequately prepared for upcoming challenges, officials at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp announced Wednesday that they had broken ground on a new geriatric care wing. “Our senior care center will be located immediately adjacent to Camp Delta and will contain all of the essentials our detainee population will need in the years ahead, including easy-access ramps from the confinement block to the exercise yard as well as wall-mounted grab bars and no-slip mats in the shower area,” said Brigadier General Marion Garcia, who added that the facility’s 116 beds and each of its various enhanced interrogation rooms would be located on the ground floor so that inmates will not have to go up or down any stairs when moving about, thereby avoiding unnecessary strains on their joints and helping to prevent falls.

I noticed that the cars BTS video has the sweetest closeup yet of the Nux car bobblehead. I think it’s cute that the left eye (which would be the Nux-facing one, given the Nux car’s right-hand drive) has a cool eyeball, while the right eye just has a bolt:

They didn’t get sucked up.
platonic as hell friendship saves the day
They get away just as the police commissioner realizes who they are.
They have to do something about their kids.

The whole group sings in jail.
He falls apart and everybody leaves him
They had fun storming the castle to save her from mawwaige.
And he wants his father back you son of a bitch.
There was no mine shaft gap.
not sure why he had to be naturalized, he was born here
They turn around and go back.

Animalicious: Pelagic Tunicates – free floating oceanic sea squirts
Its summer! there is going to snorkeling at the piers! i’m highly excited so I think its good to learn about the things you can possibly find when you are stranded in the vast oceans after being overly optimistic with the idea of living on a boat with just a supply of coconuts and 4g wifi.
Tunicate facts:
– in larvae form, they superficially look like a tadpole
– they are the only animals can do reverse their blood circulation
– they are filter feeders, mostly eating plankton but there are predatory seasquirts as well, using their filters as a trap.
– pelagic tunicates are usually solitary animals but are sometimes found in colonies. Certain types of pelagic tunicates can make massive colonies (30 meters long!) like the ones found in this video
