If any art directors are looking for a show to binge watch, highly recommend Light and Magic on Disney plus. It shows how they made Star Wars and lots of other films from the 70s - 90s before digital VFX/3D/editing/after effects. In the age of AI, I can see us going back to practical effects.

I was a big Liquid Death fan. Hey, a company started by a former ad creative with fun campaigns? And a good product? I subscribed to their teas on Amazon for years. Lately my subscription was canceled. Oh, product discontinued. New one in its place. Same thing, but with stevia added. Hmm, not a stevia fan. Tried it. Tasted like crap. I Google Liquid Death stevia and see there’s quite a bit of discourse on Reddit. And wow, according to the founder, I’m no longer a loyalist, but an extremist. ✌️
