I’m not saying we should feed all the influencers to the sharks, but I note that the sharks do seem to have a taste for them
Incidents of sharks biting humans are incredibly rare, but at least three influencers have been bitten by the animals in less than a year.

Good news, we noclipped through the wall in one of our strongrooms and found all this empty space ready for more archive storage! We'll be expanding our shelving capacity as soon as we've found a way back to the front desk.
The uncomfortable liminal space of the 'Backrooms', with yellow carpet, wallpaper, and fluorescent lighting, going off into the distance. It's disconcerting to look at.

There's a story about the mix for Carpenter's "The Thing". So they're playing back the reel with the Blood Test Scene for Carpenter and the team and as the scene progresses, there's this slowly building rumbling sound... /1

no context sound design/edit cues (an occasional series)
A script cue: "SFX: GRUNT"... asking, bluntly, for a finely honed grunt sound to ring out across the stereo field. It shall be done. Different grunts are to be auditioned until the finest and most appropriate of all the grunts is identified and ushered into life.

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration
Illustration of a clearing in a dark forest with pools of water on the ground among the trees and vegetation. In the water is a reflection of a cityscape with skyscrapers in vibrant orange and yellow with a bright blue sky, contrasting with the murky blue-green colours of the woods. In the far distance an early sunrise can be made out through the trees.

Sorry to see Mark Tully has died - he was very much an old-school gentlemen reporter, immersed in the region he covered. His is a very 20th-century story that I suspect looks alien and in some ways troubling to modern eyes, but he was really devoted to his craft and to India

Honestly relieved to have this finally cleared up: the Denisovans - a group of ancient humans - are not the same as the maverick unshaven darts player nicknamed “The Heat”
Wikipedia diligently clarifies that the ancient group of “human-ish” people, the Denisovans, are not the same as famed darts maverick Denis Ovens.
