Drop whatever you're doing right now and go watch Pantheon.
This is a story about people whose minds have been uploaded into a computer. Weāve seen this concept before, like in Black Mirror (S3E4 San Junipero), but Pantheon takes it to the absolute extreme.
Pantheon asks questionsāthousands of them. Can a digital consciousness still feel emotions? How would it react to the absence of physical stimuli? Will human irrationality persist in code? How might governments and corporations exploit these technologies? And what can ordinary people do about it?
Pantheon terrified me with how realistic it feels. It doesnāt look like sci-fi; it feels like a documentary from the near future. It scares me how fast technology is evolving while we struggle to keep up. It scares me that people push forward with ideas without thinking about the consequences. And it horrifies me how easily some are willing to place dangerous tools into the hands of leaders who will do anything to achieve their goals.
For me, the most important part of the show was its focus on emotionsāthe idea that even without a physical body, we would still *feel*. It gives hope that beyond data and logic, thereās something more, something that truly makes us who we are.

I love sci-fi, but I donāt watch a lot of movies because itās always āman versus machineā. Itās always predictable how something will always go wrong, the tech will fail, etc.
I know Interstellar has rave reviews, but I didnāt see it until today. Now I know why everyone loves it.
It was never a question of āwill the technology allow us to do thingsā, it was more about the human choices and sacrifices we have to make with the limitations of technology and who weāre making those sacrifices for.

it is not often that a show manages to install itself as a permanent part of my worldview, but i can honestly say that scavenger's reign has permanently changed my relationship to conciousness, nature, and god - and that process started with this scene.
even with zero context the scene still works perfectly - it's such a perfect vertical slice of what makes the show so profound. if it makes you feel anything at all then you must watch the full show, because it's full of moments like this

Gorgeous and otherworldly braided story of folks stranded on a fantastical alien planet (that's half Codex Seraphinianus and half Heavy Metal magazine). A little intense and violent after the first few episodes, but the narrative is sophisticated & character development well done.

A lot of templates for different sites, but with some bugs.
3 ā Cargo
Good if like brutalist websites
4 ā Mmm
Simple tool for one page websites
5 ā Ctrl
Haven't tried yet, but they seem nice
6 ā Webflow
This one is a little harder than the previous ones, but maybe one day you would want to try something like that!
Good luck with creating your site!

i'm a designer and i only want to do things that are not boring, so i only was able to learn p5js and processing) it's basically about making pictures (maybe even simple animations/interactive things) with code. For example, i've animated these circles to move and look like a beer foam. If you want to learn things like that, you can watch p5js course from The Coding Train on Youtube, its very simple and exciting, and the teacher is so goofy and hilarious that you will fall in love with him (and with coding) immediately :) Hope this helps <3

It's a simple story about the pressure and violence against queer people shown with the example of one queer kid.
