    My one Oscars gripe is when are they gonna stop making jokes about animation being for kids? Literally none of the shorts were “made for kids” and The Boy and The Heron was rated PG-13. It’s getting old and tired at this point.

      It's disheartening to hear that people still think that animated projects are only for kids to consume. When there are plenty (not enough) of animations rated for adults. I love animation more than live action. I dont know what the harm is in watching what you like, for kids and/or adults. Watching animated works doesn't make you regress. I love to think that it inspires others. From writing a story, aim to work in that field, down to making their own animations.

    As an Haitian who watches your show everyday, BBQ is not the one of the top gang leaders doing the worst, he is the most educated in all of them since he was a former police officer who was going to get framed for murders. The main top gang leader putting the country in unrest name is “Izo”. He has tiktok is a raper and the most driven one because he was the one the broke into the jail and proceeded to do a party for some of them afterways. He has the high powered guns and war drone to oversee where ever he pleases.
    Btw Thank you for spreading awareness about Haiti. I started watching your videos in haiti back then, had to leave the country to come to school here. Its not by choice the country is truly beautiful but a lot of forces are at play to keep the country in this situation. Thank you again.

    For the forensic scientist scandal: sadly there's actually precedent for this. There are two women in prison for tampering with drug evidence during their tenure as forensic scientists. One was an addict using the samples at the job to get high as she did her work, the other was fraternizing with prosecution lawyers and not doing the proper processes to get done with things faster. Both of them worked on innumerable cases that had all been called into question, and the state legislature was trying to cover up how bad the situation was.
    Eventually this determined lawyer and his team got all the cases they worked on thrown out, but countless people had been locked up for years on tampered evidence. There's actually a netflix documentary on it. Hopefully those cases will set the tone for how this new situation is handled

    The Beatles are my favorite band of all time. Knowing that Paul got THE bass back is so heartwarming to me. There is a moment in the documentary Get Back where Paul is asked why he isn't playing his Rickenbacker bass (the one he is playing in the Hello Goodbye video) and is playing the Hofner, he just smiles and says "I like this one." I really recommend that documentary as it is so fascinating for any Beatles fan and even for anyone who isn't. Also, Phil, you should look into the new Beatles song "Now and Then" and how it was created and the whole story behind it. Super interesting.

    I work in a lab (albeit not in forensics) and it sounds like this woman was cutting corners in a lot of procedures meant to ensure the accuracy and precision of her results. Lab work has a ton of quality control measures, which are admittedly a pain in the ass, but without them we would have no way of knowing if our testing methods or instruments are producing accurate results. There have been many times where I’ve been trying to complete these quality control measures and they keep failing over and over and it is SO tempting to just fudge things because you know your instrument is working fine, but some minor factors is just causing this headache. But you have to solve your problems because although cutting a corner once may not really have much of an effect at all, consistently doing so across multiple quality control measures will just compound issues until your results can become virtually meaningless. So although she wasn’t just making up data, without the quality control, she may as well have been doing so. Lack of proper quality control was also stated to be a potential factor in the Boeing door accident, just underscoring its importance. This system of checks and balances and proper and thorough documentation is the tedious yet necessary backbone of high-quality lab work and anyone willing to constantly ignore them is not cut out for this profession, especially when the results can be the difference between freedom and incarceration or even life and death.

    At the risk of sounding weird, the relationship between a musician and their respective instruments is a deep one. As a musician who has had instruments stolen, the McCartney story warmed my heart. The last instrument I had stolen was a guitar my aunt found in a dumpster. It was a strange Japanese built guitar, the brand, I had never heard of. Of course it did break my heart when it happened. I had recorded tons of tracks with it and was like losing an old friend. That being said, I also had a guitar that I never thought I'd see again, returned to me after 15 years. The joy of that was overwhelming. Congratulations to Paul for getting his old friend back and total respect to those who tracked it down!

    Something interesting to add: John Barnett- the Boeing whistleblower who worked for them for 30+ years, was found dead in his truck in a hotel parking lot right before his deposition. They said the gunshot wound seemed self inflicted, but personally I'm a bit suspicious. Convenient for Boeing since this guy was the one trying to make the planes safer and they pushed back on him throughout the years and when he tried doing it all in writing before this whole recall happened they told him he needs to make the corrections 'orally' not wanting this kind of thing in writing. Rest in peace John Barnett, no matter how it happened, he just wanted people to be safe.

She has never stepped food on a plane since and will rather drive in her car for days at a time to get somewhere than spend a few hours in the air. You cannot overstate how severely something like this impacts everyone involved. Of course you can never make something 100% safe, there's always room for human error or freak accidents, but the least you can do is follow all the safety protocols to the letter and have quality control to be absolutely sure you've done everything you can, so that the risk is at least as small as humanly possible.

      I think it’s important to remember that hobbies require similar energy units as work. While I’m very much down for learning to limit social media use, a lot of the time people are using TikTok et al when they’re so exhausted they’d probably be just staring off into space as an alternative

    • @princessaria
      @princessaria Před 2 měsíci +3

      It’s about the mental/physical energy a task requires and all of the additional time that ends up being required for it.
      I’m not really someone who can scroll TikTok for hours, but my version of that is reading (usually as an ebook since I can turn it on dark mode if I don’t want to look at a white screen). I don’t consider it a “hobby” because it’s often pretty mindless media consumption, just like watching tv or TikTok is for others. For me, reading takes basically no energy, and I can do it regardless of if I feel exhausted, sick, etc. It requires no clean up, prep work, supplies, or time spent driving to a location.
      However, I don’t always have the energy to engage in hobbies (like baking, d&d, or the various arts & crafts I’m into). Hobbies are often expensive, create messes I have to clean up, might require socializing with people, are more physically taxing, etc. Those aren’t inherently bad, but they do mean that I’m not always up for engaging in a hobby after a busy day of dealing with responsibilities.

This study seemed to focus on emotions, and mental wellbeing/strengths only. And it has quite interesting questions like resilience - ofc people that are battling a war or a crisis have had to overcome obstacles and have gotten to find themselves resiliant, whereas someone in a much more privileged and safe situation may feel like they crumble over the smallest set back in their life => don’t feel resilient => worse points.

    I do photography as a hobby and people are blowing this way out of proportion. What they did was take several shots, layer them on top of each other, and then mask in the best parts from each image (ex: some shots will have better facial expressions than others). The big mistake they made was refocusing between each shot, which will cause the images not to align correctly and lead to depth of field artifacts (the blurry stuff) that people discovered.

    A major problem with forensic science, and particularly foresinc scientists, is the fact they work with the prosecution in most cases. Particularly in criminal cases. They are not unbiased. They know the cops. They the DA and rest of the prosecution. They tend to be on friendly terms because they deal with them often.
    The prosecution wants to get conviction. Convictions progresses one's career. The forensic people know this. If your data gets convictions then the prosecution will seek you out more. Which can help your career and/or company. It's a horrible feedback loop, but it's one that exist.

The people of Haiti have been stripped of their rights to make decisions for themselves since the assassination of President Jovenel and it seems like just about everyone in or adjacent to power was in on the plot in some way or another. There is literally no one the people can trust. My father, who emigrated to the US in the late 70s, cannot even bring himself to speak on the situation otherwise he just ends up in tears.

If that’s not an indication that the Haitian people are actively being dictated by external forces, thus being “held hostage,” I don’t know what is. The US in particular has been puppeteering Haiti for decades, especially since Clinton was an ambassador (look up how the Clinton family single-handedly decimated Haiti’s rice economy and left the country worse off with their policies and how they’ve only apologized and have made no efforts to correct their errors). Yes, Haiti is rife with corrupt politicians but they’re also in bed with the US and other outside forces.

It brings back great memories whenever I see it and it's still fun to play.

On top of being one of the single greatest songwriters of any era, his incredible melodic bass lines that are distinct but complimentary to the singer.

      @Bea-a-deer Just listen again, put 2 an 2 together from the last couple of videos where he said he needed to slow down. I guarantee, this audio is mixed slower, then graduates up.

      I was so sloshed by the end of it lol. The Oscar's are basically my "Superbowl". And I know the Academy has it's issues, but it's always so fun to see the industry come together.
