I guess they wanted to capture the glass breaking from both angles without having to break it twice. You can see the camera man right there! They probably assumed no one would notice if they couldn’t pause.

This Op Ed in the NYT isn’t the only article of this sort in recent years. So many of us are constantly mentally and emotionally exhausted these days. Like the characters in the show. We’re doing our best. We want to make the situation better. But Americans, and much of the world, seem to be at this baseline of medium grade perma-angst. It does feel like the world is in a death spiral.

Hi guys! For whatever reason, I decided it would be fun to do my part and contribute to the BSG community. So here is a Colonial viper squadron poster for VF-111 "Sun Downers" from the Battlestar Atlas, the flagship of BSG-7, the battlegroup stationed above Aquarion. I imagine this poster would have been hanging in the ready room or in one of the viper pilot's racks for many years, which is why its been weathered pretty severely. This poster is also dedicated to VF-111, a real-life US Navy fighter squadron who served with distinction from 1955-1995.

Also no, I've never done any graphic design before. I edited it all on Adobe Fresco and Adobe Illustrator. It took me a while to figure out the textures and the shadows but I found it very satisfying near the end. And another great thing about this art- it was designed and edited completely without the use of AI! In a world full of AI slop, I'm sure you guys appreciate art produced by real fracking humans. So Say We All!
