Jacina Hollins-Borges at MMFA:

MAGA media figures are preparing their audiences to believe that the upcoming presidential debate on CNN will be unfairly biased against Donald Trump.  While Trump has already begun saying that the June 27 debate will be rigged against him, right-wing media attacks escalated this week after an interview with Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was cut off on CNN’s This Morning when she refused to stop attacking network anchor Jake Tapper. Right-wing media seized on the incident as supposed evidence that the CNN debate will be unfair, and some called for Trump to cancel the debate if the network does not officially apologize.

Right-wing media had a meltdown over CNN’s Kasie Hunt cutting off Trump spokesliar Karoline Leavitt on Monday’s edition of CNN This Morning.

Hey Lynn. Amazing win for Liverpool, it took them long enough. 🙄

Anyway on with the ask. I’m inquiring about a fanfic about the Everton game obviously. Alisson got pretty beaten up in the game (nearly kicked in the head, smashed in the head aswell. Do you reckon we could have a fic about it. Maybe with Alisson going down (for the 1st or 2nd one I don’t really care and Klopp and Virgil going crazy on the sidelines yelling at the ref about how bad the foul was and how it should be a yellow card.

Thanks for your help

Have a good time!

Here you go :) I was rather excited to write this one, I must admit

Alisson’s Protection Squad

Klopp hated seeing any of his boys fouled. A tactical challenge he could take, but manhandling his boys and sending them to the ground, screaming and agonizing in pain? Totally unacceptable.

It didn’t help that the referees were sometimes completely oblivious to unnecessarily hard fouls towards Liverpool, sometimes giving the opposition eight fouls before brandishing an overdue yellow card. If he was still playing, Klopp was sure he would’ve socked the living daylights out of one of them. And that was coming from a man who’d only received seventy-nine yellow cards and five reds in his entire playing career—as a defender.

Klopp wouldn't dare admit it in front of most people, but he had a particular soft spot for some of his boys, even though he loved them all. If any opposition player or manager touched those ones in a threatening way…well, then he would give them filthy animals a talking-to at the very least.

In other words, Klopp in protective dad mode was nothing to sneeze at.

Clearly, some people still needed to learn that.

*

Klopp hadn't been fooled--he knew Everton were a very physical opponent, to say the least. With Sean Dyche at the helm, he would specifically tell his new Everton team to wrestle Liverpool, muscle them around and injure every player on the pitch. Well, not exactly, but that was the main idea.

Klopp remembered the team’s collective groan when he’d announced the Everton fixture was next. Most of them had played against Burnley, where Dyche used to run his rugby school of a football club, and those who hadn’t had heard plenty of complaints about it from their teammates. He’d managed to get them out of the locker room without looking too nervous about getting mauled.

It was twenty minutes, and Klopp could already see the signs of an aggressive game. The Everton players didn’t even seem to want to score—they just fouled for the fun of it. This absolutely infuriated Klopp, who struggled to not lose it and scream in Dyche’s face.

Liverpool conceded a corner in the twenty-second minute. Klopp was pretty sure it wasn't a corner, but nobody would listen to his protests even if he was right. So he kept his mouth shut.

The corner went in, and Klopp relaxed a bit upon seeing Alisson in perfect position to catch it. The keeper caught the ball easily—but then an Everton player knocked him over like a bowling pin.

“Excuse me!!! Just what the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Klopp yelled over the increasing din of protest from both the Liverpool fans and the players. “You’re going to traumatize him!”

“You babying those players again, Klopp?” Dyche retorted. Apparently Klopp hadn't been as subtle as he thought he'd been. “They're grown men. They can take a little hustling.”

“A little hustling?!” Klopp barely resisted the urge to give the British manager a taste of his own medicine. “If Ali did the same thing to your player he would’ve gotten a red card! These boys have families, no need to break their legs!”

Dyche spotted the fourth official approaching and growled under his breath, storming away from Klopp. “Come full time, I might break your legs.”

*

At halftime, Klopp jogged down the tunnel, stopping to count all the players as they made their way in. Almost all of them were there except two: Van Dijk, who’d been fit enough to make the bench, and Alisson. That was strange—the two were almost never late for anything, even things they didn’t like. Though Klopp couldn’t see why Van Dijk or Alisson wouldn’t want halftime to come…

He snuck around the hallways, narrowly dodging reporters with prying eyes and huge cameras, until he stopped in a hall. Pressed against the wall was Andre Onana, the guy who had fouled Alisson earlier. And pressing him onto the wall…was Virgil van Dijk.

“Look,” Van Dijk snarled, glaring at Onana. “If you touch Ali again, you’re in big trouble. If you do so much as breathe near him, I will kick you and your sorry butt back to Lille.”

“Virg, I don’t think you should be that harsh on him,” another voice said. Klopp’s eyes widened in surprise upon realizing the voice belonged to Alisson. “Anything can happen. And he’s only twenty-one.”

Van Dijk shook his head, pinning Onana down even harder. “I don’t care, he still fouled you! Listen, Andre. I have teammates who are more than willing to defend Alisson. Brazilian teammates. Our vice skipper will flip you like a table, and you’re more than welcome to have Joey G slide-tackle you. And don’t forget our boss. He has classic combat skills…and he’s not afraid to use them.”

Onana chuckled nervously, pressing himself even further against the wall. Klopp could see the youngster was wide-eyed with fear, and he silently prayed that Van Dijk wouldn’t do anything too bad to him. “Um…this is a joke, right?”

“Yes indeed. I am producing a true piece of slapstick comedy—and here’s the punchline.” Van Dijk slapped him on the cheek, taking Alisson by the arm. He walked away, leaving Onana to process what had just happened.

“Virgil van Dijk!” Klopp exclaimed, coming from his hiding place. As was his custom, he quickly checked the pair for any telltale signs of a scuffle, finding nay but one bruise across Alisson’s forehead. “What happened?”

“Onana found Ali and dragged him into that dark hall. He punched him a couple of times—but then I came to the rescue.” Van Dijk shook his head, hovering over Alisson in an attempt to protect him. “If you ask me he deserves more than just a slap, but I don’t want to get in trouble with the FA.”

“Good work, Virgil.” Klopp turned his attention to Alisson, wincing at the purplish-black bruise Onana’s punch had left. “Where did he punch you, Ali?”

“Besides my head?” Alisson gestured towards both his arms with some difficulty. “On the arms, twice…and on the collarbone. I told Virg to go easy on him.”

“You’re lucky that it’s Virg who found you, Ali. I would’ve gone feral on him.” Klopp took Alisson’s hand, careful of any potential bruises. “Let’s get you to the locker room and get those bruises treated. I think we have some makeup that’ll hide the bruise for the next forty-five minutes.”

Alisson blushed at the mention of makeup, staring down at the floor. “It’s fine boss—”

“Ali.” Van Dijk cut the goalkeeper off, taking his other hand. “You take care of our dignity all the time. Let us take care of you.”

Alisson shrugged, letting Van Dijk and Klopp lead him down the halls. “I guess you have a point there.”

“Damn right. Nobody touches my boys.”

“BOSS!”

[canmom]

Hello! I absolutely love your blog, everything from your festival recounts to animation analysis and programming (one of tumblr's recommended posts was the one where you made your own rasteriser, and I liked your attitude in what I've read so much that I'm gonna attempt to conquer my 3-year-long grudge against using opengl during college and do something similar now that I'm a bit older and have no deadlines :D).

But anyway, I have 2 questions (sorry if there's easily accessible answers, tumblr search is not helping): 1. During your animation nights, does the screen stay black while everyone watches their own video while you provide commentary? I haven't caught any yet but maybe someday! And 2. do you have any youtube channels or just one-off video essays that you like that also cover animation/directors? Or, even programming lol.

Sorry for the long ask have a nice day!

hiii! i'm very touched that you like my dorky eclectic blog <3

For the Animation Nights, I just stream the video over Twitch from local sources on my computer, typically by playing the video in mpv and recording it in OBS. This is obviously not ideal from a video quality perspective, but it's the easiest way to watch video in sync without making everyone download files in advance. Then we all chat in the Twitch chat box (in large part to crack stupid jokes, it's not that highbrow lmao). I've gotten away with it so far!

As for youtube channels, I can recommend...

anime production/history (i.e. sakuga fandom)

SteveM is likely the most sakuga-fan affiliated anituber. He makes long, well-researched and in-depth videos on anime history, usually themed around a particular director or studio.

Pyramid Inu might be my fave anituber - very thoughtful analysis of Gundam, obscure mecha anime and oldschool BL and similar topics. tremendously soothing voice too.

The Canipa Effect does excellent deep dives into the production of specific shows, both western and anime. I appreciate the respect he gives to the Korean animators of shows like AtlA in particular!

Sean Bires's 2013 presentation on sakuga is pretty foundational to this whole subcultural niche, and a great place to get an introduction to the major animator names to know and significant points in the history of anime. unfortunately a couple of the segments got slapped down by copyright but the rest holds up!

animation theory (for animators and aspirants)

I'm going to focus here on resources that are relevant to animation in general, and 2D animation. if I was going to list every Blender channel we'd be here all week :p

New Frame Plus is one of the best channels out there for game animation, describing in tightly edited videos how animation principles work in a game context and analysing the animation of various games. highly recommend

Videogame Animation Study is similar, examining the animation of specific games in detail

the 'twelve principles of animation' (defined by Disney's Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas) remain the standard approach to animation pedagogy; there are various videos on them, but Alan Becker (of Animator vs Animation) has quite a popular series. I haven't actually watched these but many people swear by them! Dermot O'Connor expands the list to 21. Note that some of the terminology can be a little inconsistent between different animators - c.f. 'secondary motion'...

Dong Chang is an animator at Studio NUT, who produces a lot of fantastic, succinct videos on standard techniques in the anime industry, timesheet notations, etc. etc. Studio Bulldog, a small anime studio, are a good complement; they focus more on douga than genga and are generally a bit more traditional.

programming

big topic here, I'm going to focus on game dev and tech art since that's my field. but also some general compsci stuff that's neat

SimonDev - graphics programmer with a bunch of AAA experience, fantastic explanations of advanced optimisations and some of the more counterintuitive aspects of rendering

Acerola - graphics programmer who makes very detailed guides to a variety of effects with a very rapid and funny 'guy that has seen monogatari' editing style. When he's good, he's really good. His video on water is probably the best one I've seen (though I can recommend a couple of others).

TodePond - the most charming, musical videos about recursion and cellular automata you've ever seen. less programming tutorial and more art in themselves.

Ben Eater - known for his breadboard computer series, a fantastic demonstration of how to go from logic gates up to the 6502 with actual hardware. worth watching just for how clean he puts the wires on his breadboards like goddamn man

Sebastian Lague, Useless Game Dev - both do 'coding adventure' style videos where they spend a few weeks on some project and then document it on Youtube, resulting in a huge library of videos about all sorts of fascinating techniques. great to dive into

Freya Holmér - creator of the 'shapes' library, makes videos on mathematical programming, with gorgeously animated vector graphics. Her video on splines is a particular treat.

There are definitely many more channels I can recommend on these subjects, but I'll need to dig into my history a bit - unfortunately I need to rush out right now, but hopefully that should be good to be getting going with!

31 Days Idol Challenge - Oliver Riedel

Day 29: At Award Ceremony

One thing I really like about photos of Rammstein from award ceremonies, is how they dress. I love how they just seem to all put on whatever they feel like, so that the more or less always have at least one 'odd man out'.

My photo of choice is this group shot from 1998 Echo Awards, because I really like how Oliver went with a choker. Photo by Axel Kirschof.

I feel like it's appropriate to add a passage from Flake's book Heute hat die Welt Geburtstag (It's the World's Birthday Today), where he wrote about when the band got nominated for their first Echo Award. It is such a good example of "six inexperienced East Germans entering the celebrity circus":

Beforehand we had long conversations about what we should wear. We definitely wanted to all wear the same thing so that people would see we were a single entity. Since this was the first time we'd been invited, we got there on time. On time meant two hours too early. When we walked down the red carpet, there was of course not the slightest reaction from the audience, which wasn't bad, however. The only person who recognized us was the security guard for Die Toten Hosen, who were also nominated and of course actually received an award. We attached ourselves to Nena's manager, whom we knew from the industry tour. We stood around in the lobby with him for hours and were horribly thirsty. Then the ceremony finally started and we thought it was all very exciting. Otto Waalkes was sitting in front of us. I stared at the back of his head the whole time. I thought back to how, when I was a kid, I would go over to our neighbor's place just to watch the Otto Show. Every single gag got rehashed all over school the next day, and I didn't want to be left out. And now I could practically touch him. I was so excited my palms were sweating. All the nominees were introduced with a short film. When they finally showed our film, there was absolutely no applause since of course no one knew who we were. There was only bored silence. I think Aerosmith got the prize. We realized that we'd gotten all dressed up for nothing and felt appropriately foolish. Thankfully though, there was a giant afterparty. We hadn't known about that either. There we could eat and drink as much as we wanted and didn't have to pay. We weren't the only ones who got exorbitantly drunk; those who were still there at four stayed till six. Moses Pelham broke Stefan Raab's nose. The next day, a bunch of zombies stood freezing on the train platform, waiting for the train with their Echos in their hands. Or not, in our case. Then two years later, we got the award. We stood there on stage like six bumps on a log and didn't know what to say. Under no circumstances did we want to toss out an embarrassing litany of thank yous. When it was my turn at the mic, I just talked about my vacation in Sri Lanka - I'd just gotten back two days earlier and was still overflowing with impressions. Plus, while the boring ceremony was going on, Ben Becker had been teaching us that drinking vodka mixed with tonic water was very refreshing. The trophy they handed us was I guess supposed to represent a sound wave - I mean, I don't know what an echo looks like, technically speaking - and it was pretty heavy. It was an unwieldy thing to have to hold onto at the party afterward, so I just left it sitting around somewhere.

Bonus material: 1) 1997, Rammstein getting gold for Herzeleid and Engel. Unknown photographer. Some of the band members, including Oliver, had interesting choices of shoes. 2) 1998 MTV Europe Music Awards. Another interesting choice of clothing for Oliver. 3) 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards. Can't go wrong when you're all wearing stage costumes! Photo by Anthony Harvey. 4) 2001 Mexico City. Very questionable positioning of Paul in this photo by Guillermo Ogam. 5) 2005 Echo Awards. I really love how they showed up and performed in fat suits. Photo by Sean Gallup. 6) 2005 Rammstein Music Awards, I love Oliver's outfit here, too. Unknown photographer. 7) 2009 Echo Awards. Oliver went fully casual, and Schneider showed his total lack of taste in shoes. Unknown photographer.

Desde hace una semana (creo) hice unas versiones humanas del Stick Gang de Alan Becker, y en esa misma publicación mencione que podía hacer las versiones humanas de otros stickmen. Ahora estamos con eso: Las versiones humanas de dichos Stickmen.

The Chosen One y The Dark Lord

Hice una publicación (Aquí) puse que los Stickmen artificiales tienen marcas de Steven Universe, además de que sus ojos son del color que sean ellos o de su poder. TDL hizo sus capas por ser villanos, además de tener el pelo largo.

Victim

Con el, sucede un poco de la base artificial. Si, su primera apariencia es igual a TCO, como pasa en el "canon". A diferencia de sus "hermanos", el cambio de su apariencia no es por poder (Yo tengo la teoría de que Victim cambio por ser un poco más viejo). Cabe aclarar que le puse un lente de un ojo por ser un poco ciego.

Purple y King Orange

Si, si, he convertido a Purple en chica, aunque hay gente que también hace a este personaje mujer, okey. Con King Orange, quise que conservará su ropa normal debajo de su ropa de Rey.

Together with Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Shuman over Zoom video! GRAMMY-nominated musician and multi-instrumentalist Michael Shuman is GLU. The frontman of Mini Mansions and member of Queens of the Stone Age is showing another side of himself with his independent debut EP, MY DEMONS out February 24th. Today’s title track release features Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel and explores how childhood traumas continue to seep into adult life. Emotional explosions emerge in a realm of lo-fi hip-hop with upbeat, poppy moments while the coinciding video turns heads with a steamy, latex-laden Barthel symbolizing the demons that dominate GLU’s thoughts as he raps satirically through a leather ball gag. GLU’s genesis was rooted in honesty, creativity, and the desire not just to exist but to exist deeply, and with no major concentration of genre aside from melding them, he unravels ribbons of rhyme and musicianship that are introspective and engaging. Self-produced and mastered by Dale Becker (Doja Cat, Chris Brown, Khalid), the MY DEMONS EP as a whole is a look into the late nights, solitude, and the existential crisis that come with surviving alone through a pandemic. Taking influence from Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, Mac Miller, the back and forth of the artist’s soft soundscapes lead way to catchy lyrics touching on relatable subjects of struggle, loss, addiction and trauma. Previous single “Night Shift,” highlights the impending doom we feel, generated by the current state of our world. “For me, ‘MY DEMONS’ was about being on my own terms; having my own momentum,” said Shuman. “This is something that is different because I do come from punk rock, but I’m doing this… so it’s not going to sound like your typical DJ or Hip-Hop producer. I want it to feel fresh, and that’s the most exciting thing for me.” MY DEMONS Track Listing: MY DEMONS ft.
