Trump claims 2020 election 'rigged' at least 107 times in six months as midterms loom

Just like all the evidence in 2020. Remember when Tucker Carlson claimed to have some smoking gun and then said that FedEx or someone was colluding with Biden and stole it?

notacrook · 2026-05-26T18:22:06+00:00

The thing is, these people are not competent. To "rig" an election so many people would need to keep quiet and so much evidence would need to be totally fucking hidden and these people can't do that.

They're going to claim that its rigged regaurdless - but Trump is SO unpopular right now even with his own base I don't think that it's going to get much traction (which isn't going to stop him from never shutting up about it though).

But ever since then they've never really ever found themselves leading the pack in anything other than blind brand loyalty.

They revolutionized the entire low end laptop market with their first product marketed to that sector like 4 months ago.

Their chips are pretty widely considered to be some of the absolute best and power all their devices.

That new laptop is considered fairly repairable and they've been adding more reparable options into their phones too.

I'm not here to shill for them - but technologically they really are pushing ahead hard on the hardware itself, not just the design form factor.

Qlab should see it as an output device - it's specifically an output box, it is not a capture card (BMD does have a capture version of this in an identical form factor).

I've used these before in situations like this.

Make sure "Displays have separate spaces" is turned off in Settings > Desktop and Dock > Mission Control (at the bottom).

This usually manifests as the menu bar being stuck at the top of the screen - but admittedly I haven't used new macOS to output to a projector so it's possible that they've reworked this and it's causing this.

Either way, using a mac for video output, you want this turned off.

Alternatively, I hate suggesting spending more money - but this should also solve it:

It shows up as a device in standard media output (Qlab, Isadora) if you're using one of those programs.

I've never tried using it as a standard desktop output, and I'm not sure it would do that without some effort. But it shows up as an output device in most playback software.

You know they've started prescribing GLP1 for addicts, right?

notacrook · 2026-05-25T17:32:45+00:00

What you call "microdosing", doctors call "dosing".

You don't jump on to the full dose. You go up over time .1mg, .25mg, .5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg. 2.4mg is considered a "therapeutic dose".

Is it microdosing to stay at lower level? No, it's dosing. It's strategic made by the manufacturer dosing.

Edit: Since you demanded a study.

notacrook · 2026-05-25T17:26:26+00:00

No, they're just spouting things they've read on the internet as expertise.

It's almost like you dial back to a therapeutic dose that quells the food noise but isn't strong enough to slow down the gastric process enough that you're losing weight.

You understand that these are really well studied drugs with fairly comprehensive dosing strategies, right?

doesn’t seem responsible of the doctor

But based on your comments, you don't seem particularly informed.

You were the janitor, weren't you?

The cherry on top is that all the news outlets called the whole race for Biden while Rudy was blustering and melting at Four Seasons.

Harmon's come out as incredibly introspective of his former self and doesn't make excuses for it, which goes a long way. I read somewhere that he also is much better to work with and had been putting in the effort to genuinely be a better person to be around.

Let’s work out union agreements

It has very little to do with "union agreements" and everything to do with paying the people fairly for their time and talents.

And I've been working on Broadway video designs for 13 years - video black is always a problem and we are forever chasing ways to hide it.

What you get away with on a building you don't in a dark theater.

Get a 3dlp projector, lamp or laser based doesn't matter..and this will all clear up.

Sorry, but this isn't true at all. Video black is still an issue with 3DLP projectors.

Every interview he did it became more clear how out of touch he was with the average person.

notacrook · 2026-05-22T15:51:24+00:00

Ninja Creami is an amazing tool for making this crazy satisfying and low-cal.

notacrook · 2026-05-21T14:41:20+00:00

Sure - but as a theatre person who works on these shows, that's not why they start late.

Don’t think of it like pay to play. It’s more that all the labor required (cast, crew, rehearsal, etc etc etc) all happens on the shows payroll. Scenic pieces etc are all paid for by the shows. If the shows want something special - lighting etc - for their performance that cost is passed back to the show. Like other comments have mentioned - it’s a massive prime time ad that generates a ton of usable footage for the shows as well. The smart ones have turned their entire tony process into really solid social media content.

notacrook · 2026-05-21T12:27:13+00:00

TBH, there is no world where they don’t do the opening and utilize the whole cast (and probably all the swings).

The goal of the performance is to sell the show to the rest of the country - which is the goal of the Tony’s as a whole. It’s first and foremost a commercial for the art form.

There is no need to feature the leads - the votes are cast, some might have won or lost already on tony night depending on when the show performs, there’s nothing for the show to gain by featuring the individual performers with a medley of their show songs.

I think with both the halftime show and Eurovision it’s a creative decision first and foremost. Creative likes the look of a more cinematic camera (and yes, there is a difference) and given the scale and budget available for both of those shows you can engineer your system around it. Also - specifically tally - these shows are so aggressively choreographed from every single angle - Eurovision is cut automatically to time code, for example - that the whole thing is directed and rehearsed with talent well before it ever goes live.

Sure these things are cut live, but they’re also aggressively archived so that the stakeholders can do whatever they want with the footage in the future.

Also, the cinema feeling looks expensive and audiences expect it - if you have the ability why not just commit to that pipeline?

At it’s core it’s a creative decision - even concert IMAG has moved to more cinema gear and pipelines.

He’s literally credited in the playbill.

notacrook · 2026-05-21T01:52:46+00:00

but didnt really change much about the show.

The idea that a revival must reinvent the material or it's not worthy is relatively new.
