Re K Burns Civil War doc. To tell a story visually w no footage Burns put motion to still archival photos by zooming + panning w a voice over narration. Novel at the time it has become a popular editing technique (some say a trope) w an eponymously named app called Ken Burns effect. Would work here

Did someone not tell them that there is a very good app for that called the Ken Burns effect?!

Exactly.

Why wouldn’t you want to rescue the survivors and be able to question them about drug operations? Get info up the chain. They clearly weren’t a threat. Seems they shot down information that they could have used. And it was cold blooded murder.

Too funny!

Better a lingering dullness in the wine than the dinner companion!

I just wish you’d learn how to intro and outro your podcast guests instead of shrieking their name. But yeah mostly interesting.

Oh I know! I was wondering if you paired a sandwich with it. Or something else.
November 22, 2025 at 10:44 PM
Be still my beating heart. That’s a pour! Sandwich?

And I’m vested in the pension plan.

True dat!

Errmm… couldn’t that also be said of wine ratings?😇

I wonder if some if the Michelin attention may be to the detriment of these restaurants. It can make a chef lose focus with the pressure to maintain. Bernard Loiseau an extreme example.

I think the ASPCA should check on the puppy. This is a woman who engages in sadistic behavior. And weren’t we told when Maxwell was first assigned here she was not allowed to participate in the service dog training program?

Ernie Manicotti basically a South Philly mobster despite what it looks like here

On the other hand do we want to play against him
November 7, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Not to mention their health care plan (and pensions)
November 7, 2025 at 5:46 PM
I just wish he’d get rid of that merkin on his face. That chingina is so gross
