The audio folks at Bluey could do a full on masterclass in recording children. Listening to an episode over lunch, and the unbridled joy of these young actors, the giggles and shrieks, are magical. Dear sound design schools - have these folks come in and teach students how they record kids’ VO !🎙️🥰

Here are the top 5 dogs of July!

Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.

💖🏳️‍🌈💖Happy Pride, Vancouver! 🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍🌈 Remember: stay aware of your surroundings, keep hydrated, wear a hat and/or sunscreen, keep your trash w/you until you find a bin, and m/f bi and pan couples DO also deserve to be there because who they are partnered with doesn’t change their core attraction traits.😁

Not me sitting in my car on break, crying over the ‘I will always find you’ song in Kiff. The music in this show is SO FREAKING GOOD.

Is it too late for a Sober Carpenter Hazy IPA? Probably. Am I still having one because It’s Been A Day. You bet your sweet comfort tv shows and spicy chicken burger for late dinner I am.

Welp, even if my living space, time, and energy restrictions did improve, there’s no bleeping way I’ll go back to audio appreciation streams if this gets switched on.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

We are excited to share that Kilts for Kids is back! We will once again be supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities in their mission to help families through their healthcare journey. Our campaign will officially go live on 8/6 with a new D2 emblem and original art up for donation ❤️

It’s outstandingly noisy for such a quiet morning. I have a very British cozy mystery audiobook playing to help settle some thoughts. But I can hear the neighbor’s toddler sing-babbling. There’s a crow scolding another creature in the lane. The fridge has the gritty, industrial hum that, for some…

I developed shingles on my face on the 2nd morning of a 2 day sound design course in Vancouver. By the end of the day, I was so nauseous, the skin around my eye so painful, I’m surprised I made it home w/out help. Getting to see a pharmacist & dr the next day made a… bsky.app/profile/suga...

Hey, America, I know gun violence is a staple of all of your lives, but when there’s been a mass shooting at the back of a building, and people are casually walking by, taking selfies, and trying to get into the front of said building, that shit is chilling to non-Americans.

This entire thread is full of the most powerful types of whimsy and positive vibes.

I had the opportunity to try some truly amazing coffees when I still worked in the industry. Small batch, single origin, care and curation from harvest to cup. But there’s still something almost sublime about that smell when you’ve just pulled the foil off a new jar of your favorite instant coffee.

There was enough bad behavior on display tonight in IKEA that I didn’t feel like skeeting my visit like usual (parents, please tell your teenage sons it’s not appropriate to lie under the covers in a display bed in an inspiration room, with their shoes still on, FaceTiming their girl friend). But…

To fellow Canadian (and close to the border US) Tamagotchi collector friends who may be sad that you missed being able to get the Paradise White Glacier from EBGames at a reasonable, non-reseller or Amazon dot CA prices, some good news! The EBGames website is ATROCIOUS at accurate stock count!

Let me share the most cursed gena/I picture I have stumbled on up to this point. I was casually searching for a particular type of acting class. What I got was a ‘Nope, nope, hell no, who the fck thought that was a good idea??’

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Lordy, I’m such a bloody Destiny nerd, but Deborah Wilson specifically using her Savathûn voice. The fcking endless, effortlessly charming sarcasm, and subtle double speak would simultaneously annoy, distract and undo me.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

Write. Write in defiance of mediocrity. Write in defiance of the stealing of thought and feeling, and the handing of those things to machines to do. Write in defiance of the machine handlers trying to convince us that what they stole from us is 2nd to what the machines vomit out. Write, dammit.

Head's up Authors! Ingram is apparently trying to sell our shit to AI. Kid you not. Go opt out and then complain. LOUDLY. #WriterSky #AuthorSky
