NFL’s New Overtime Rules

- First possession per team
- Which comes first: score or possession
- If coin flip is heads, elect to kick or receive. Same if tails, once possessions
- If a field goal is kicked on first possession, team on field must acquiesce

It's common knowledge that one of the most dangerous times for a woman is after she leaves an abusive man. It's terrifying to then, with shared custody, let that man have access to your child. Knowing his anger and violence issues, you will do almost anything to try to keep him calm and happy.

@jameshibberd.bsky.social throws in a few nods to the truth, but mostly repeats the Hollywood marketing mythology that practical is best, no CGI! But almost all the movies he lists are loaded w/CGI. The Odyssey, his prime example, lists HUNDREDS of digital effects artists in its credits.

"Elon Musk vows to make 'historically accurate,' AI-created 'Odyssey' film by year's end." So he'll be using the tenth-century CE Codex Marcianus Graecus 822 (née 454) manuscript in Venice with the 2nd-century BCE Aristarchus scholia notes on the 6th-century BCE Peisistratean recension? Dope.

Seeing all the DNEG CGI artists on Linkedin point to their name in the credits of The Odyssey after crunching on its CGI for months and then going to social media and seeing everyone say how it avoided CGI is something else. (actually it's not something else -- it's the same as always)

All right guys, I would love your assistance. I've posted a 10-minute video recapping the extent to which Jeff Pearlman's Ruben Rivera video plagiarizes the visuals from my own video on him from 2021. There are 23 instances in which his editor lifted from me, and you can see them all in this.

reminder that "Severance" s02 had over 3000 digital visual effects shots - which averages to around six visual effects shots PER MINUTE of the show but some would have you believe that the show does not "rely" on "CGI"
