There is so much great #SpiderVerse behind the scenes content on Twitter if you start following some of the artists who created the film
And the sound artists too
And here's the screenplay in full!
I also enjoyed this piece about how @philiplord drove the decision not to include subtitles for the Spanish language dialog to better represent bilingual culture remezcla.com/features/film/…
Hidden Stan Lee cameo!
There are a LOT of Stan Lee cameos
"Practically improvised"!
Yeah they really deserved this
From this thread I learned that the screenplay says "The camera is UPSIDE DOWN. Miles isn't falling through frame. He's RISING."

Full screenplay PDF, released by Sony: origin-flash.sonypictures.com/ist/awards_scr…

Now available to buy on iTunes, $19.99 (rental available March 19th) - and it comes with a Spider-Ham short! 🕷 🐽 itunes.apple.com/us/movie/spide…
Sony have made the first 9 minutes of the film available on YouTube

This is one of the main benefits I see of a "service" abstraction - be it a networked microservice or just a class that encapsulates some core business logic. A lightweight layer for reading and writing the DB.
A big reason this is useful is that in any large system those updates are likely to be denormalized in some way - a write to the DB may also need to also invalidate a cache or refresh a separate search index. So all updates should share a codepath.
And for reads in a large system speed is crucial. It's much easier to avoid pathological query performance if reads are all made through some kind of getPostsByIDs method that knows how to efficiently batch queries and uses optimizations like Django's select_ and prefetch_related

In important London news: 5 (five!) of the 43 surviving Imperial Fabergé Eggs are on display at two separate temporary exhibitions right now! You should totally go and see them.
The Science Museum's exhibition "The Last Tsar: Blood and Revolution" runs until 24th March 2019 and includes the Imperial Steel Easter Egg (one of my favourite eggs) and the Imperial Red Cross Fabergé Easter Egg
And across town at the Queen's Gallery the Royal Collection exhibition "Russia, Royalty & the Romanovs" has all three of the Queen's Fabergé eggs on public display! royalcollection.org.uk/collection/the…

Bit of a rant coming I'm afraid.

One of my least favourite anti-patterns are "enterprise" marketing websites that fail completely to answer the question "what does this thing do?"

Today's case in point: @KnativeProject

cloud.google.com/knative/
"Kubernetes-based platform to build, deploy, and manage modern serverless workloads."

OK, we are off to a reasonable start. So what does it actually do?
... OK, so what does it do?

#SpiderVerse origins:
6/9/09, @Beenox studios flew me to Quebec to show me their new game in development: Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions so I could write the story around it. It'd involve Spidey, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, & Spider-Man 2099, all in one big adventure.
#SpiderVerse origins:
I called my editor, Steve Wacker, from the studio. Told him the game looked GREAT and that we should do this story in the comics, but one up them, make it BIGGER and do something they couldn't do, have all the Spideys interact, and use EVERY SPIDER-MAN EVER!
#SpiderVerse origins:
At a 2011 Marvel Retreat we discussed plans for Spidey's 50th in '12. Bendis pitched SPIDER-MEN, where Miles would team-up/hang out w/ the Peter Parker from the mainstream Marvel U. THIS is the story that would form the heart & soul of INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE.

Fun #SpiderVerse Fact!

1) To cut the post credit scene our assistants downloaded the 1960’s Spider-Man episode “Double Identity” off of YouTube. @philiplord, @rodneyrothman, and I were writing the scene on the fly and scratching dialogue to keep trying out different things...
2) The problem was we only had a few weeks until release and one animator left on the show (Joshua Beveridge?). We had one chance. We quickly workshopped and I cut the picture from the youtube video to match the dialogue we were trying, ignoring the pointing action at first...
3) When we were happy, I looped the footage of the pointing to match the dialogue which was a rudimentary way to “animate” this in editorial. I also comped the head of ‘67 Spidey on his body so I could loop his mouth movements to match his speech. I turned over to animation...

My best post ever:

Is [D][5] referring to a chess game? Convincing findings. Read on!
2. D5, have we nailed down what it means yet?

[D]eclas [5] papers. 5? They had discussed 1-4, and then later 5-6.

[D]ecember [5] which would have made sense. It was going to be Huber's testimony.

I think [D][5] is referring to a chess move. Solid evidence from Q drops.
3. Basically, all of what Huber was investigating and his findings were going to be spoken about on [D]ec [5]. Note, when Huber's testimony was posstponed due to #41's funeral, Q said "Postponed. Well-Played DS. Please allow us to counter."
No ? at the end of the request.

Has anybody revisited the 1962 Sidney Poitier movie "Pressure Point" in light of the persistence of white supremacist politics in our time?
imdb.com/title/tt005637…
In one scene, the white supremacists are singing "The Star Spangled Banner," the anthem of the United States, at one of their meetings, with USA & 3rd Reich flags displayed
In another scene, the white supremacist prisoner scoffs at Poitier's suggestion that White Supremacy will fail because it is built on a lie. He says, "This country is built on a lie." He asks if it treats people like "All men are created equal." #film #history #racism

1. #QAnon's drops can require some time for personal analysis and input from the many good people digging. Here's my summary of key intel from the last week+ (1/19 - 1/27) of #Q drops. For Twitter efficiency, I will provide the direct link to the related posts as I review.
2. Chuckie Schumer was put on notice by #POTUS that his role in #Treason is known. Did you notice how # Schumer sulked away to the corner after his failed shutdown effort? 8ch.net//qresearch/res…
3. Read this whole #Q post as it has so much meaning. "Will Sessions drop the Hammer?" HAMMER refers to the very secretive NSA spying program. The same tools used to spy on #Trump will be their undoing. 8ch.net//greatawakenin…
