A black cat standing on a wooden patio table. His face is covered in cobwebs and bit of fluff. He has a curious look on his face like he's lying about his activities. Behind him, in contrast, there are some colourful woolen blankets on a washing line.

I don't think so.

I'd bet a lot of money it was shot digitally, and made to look like film. And they did a bad job, throwing every bad film filter they could find at it.

Portions of most frames are way to sharp and clean to be shot with film cameras that have so many other problems.

Sorry

@steve I understand your skepticism but I looked up the director of photography Ewan Ogden and found a post on his Instagram where he credits a lab for scanning the 16mm film and Kodak for the film stock for this music video.

The Helldivers 2 furore is bonkers. If you missed it, Sony, seemingly against wishes of the dev studio, pushed to add a mandatory PSN Network sign-in months after launch on one of their biggest, most popular games on PC, and not only did the community revolt (dropping review score into the teens), but the game is now pulled from 177 storefronts and Steam are issuing refunds (as PSN only works in certain countries). The studio has told players to make their voices heard

not sure I agree with this, I think government intervention is the best approach here — the law we need is basically exactly the EU cookie law but for online services: any server or account that is genuinely required to make the game work is allowed without change but ones that exist purely to track or police users must be strictly optional and users can't be penalised for opting out. The penalty can be the same: 4% of gross income. The EU passing that law seems to me way more realistic than expecting consumers to boycott basically the entire AAA games industry when that industry has been basically evil for years now and hasn't been boycotted out of that yet.

A volunteer at this season’s excavation of the Roman fort of Vindolanda unearthed a brightly-colored disc brooch with catchplate, pin lugs and pin intact. It dates to the late 3rd, early 4th century.
Photo credit The Vindolanda Trust.

facebook.com/share/p/ZmJTxBfFz…

The brooch has a multi-colored molded glass inset mounted into the central setting, with red, blue and yellow stripes swirling out from a yellow nipple. It has a low wall outlining a round central setting (multi-colored) and a ridge around the outer edge. It is made of brass and would originally have been gilded.

Let me tell you about a people from #Indonesia!

The Bugis are Muslim, but their belief is strongly influenced by their ancestral #religion.

One #belief centres around the Monitor lizard. The animal is believed to have a human #soul & to be the twin of children. They are treated with respect.

Bugis also categorize people into 5 genders. Each is needed to keep the universe in balance.

Bissu, the #gender which is neither man nor woman, is the intermediary between humans & #gods.

#mythology

This is a photo of a typical Bugis farm house. It shows a two-storey house surrounded by water. The house itself is on a small patch of sand. The house has rough, undyed wood panelling on the bottom floor, with laundry strung on its outside. The upper floor is elaborate. Many windows are visible, with colourful shutters. The upper floor is painted in a spring-green with light yellow accents. Some pink curtains are visible in each window. The house has a small balcony. The roof is triangular, with some extensions to each side. It is panelled in light blue and with yellow accents again. The roof beams cross. The background shows a flat, low plateau with some grass or fields. Waterbirds perch at the edge of the river. The sky is hazy with heat. The houses are so constructed due to the Bugis belief that there are gods above and below, & that they both settled the formerly empty middle. So each floor represents a divine sphere.
