OPEN COMMISSIONS - Motion Design and Video Editing! Edit for folks like @FDsignifier and @jessiegender

[Needless @Needless_Nick]

Just finished and released a feature length doc based on the fantastic work of the late @_michaelbrooks and those that contributed to his show @tmbsfm.

I continually come back to his episodes and writing, in my opinion it's pretty evergreen. But there is just a lot of material, and it can be daunting to jump into if you aren't already familiar with Brooks shows or the long format show structure.

With that in mind, I wanted to see if I couldn't create something that could help introduce more folks to his ideas and all the great folks he often highlighted on his show.

I have attached the opening of the film below, let me know what you think! And if you are at all taken with the opening, the full film will be linked below as well!

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.

His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".

Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that said that it will do no evil.

Brilliant work as always Kojima!

my favorite thing about making a film is when its done and it feels like the entirety of my heart has been projected into this little box that other people can see and hear, i think that is a very very special thing that i always look forward to

Jessie Jackson was the foundation of the progressive politics we have started to build; his influence is weaved into all the work worth doing electorally today

He kept the fight alive in times where there was little hope and where many turned to austerity and triangulation.

Jackson believed in the power of working people of all backgrounds as not a means for cynical division, but the collective foundation of all political action.

I've never seen someone have their earpiece go out but still be able to non-respond to the question when the person asking the question stopped talking. Michael Tracey continues to spiral in a way I genuinely didn't think was possible. Look at Benz, Piers and Kiriakou's faces lol

[PAPPADEMAS @PAPPADEMAS]

thinking, for no particular reason, about the unfilmed ending of the original novel, in which the power to alter reality just by wishing gradually robs Bastian of his humanity and all his memories and renders his existence meaningless

[Wesley @WesleyLowery]

Here’s the close of Jesse’s 1988 DNC speech “keep hope alive.” The challenge for politicians on the left remains unsparing critique that doesn’t descend into cynicism. There’s a reason that churched, black political figures navigate this more seamlessly than others

The people who destroyed the environment are the ones who should pay for it.

Instead we're still giving them subsidies.

[Saganism @Saganismm]

Ever wondered why?

It wasn't a lack of talent.

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

Hunter S. Thompson wrote this a week after 9/11 and I think of it almost every single day.

[DaVinci @BiancoDavinci]

The Black Panther poster circa 1971. Just as relevant today.

[Needless @Needless_Nick]

@shmunkee_ I really appreciate that outline, box motif, these all definitely evoke the ads of the early 2000s magazines

Very cool pieces!!

@Space_Ramenn Makes me think of those CIA ads about having a diverse progressive workforce...while at the same time destabilizing countries

Still based of her, she just needs to rethink her probable thoughts on everything else
