DOCUMENTARY RECOMMENDATIONS
i like to think of myself as someone who's worked in the industry, has consumed hundreds of hours of content both professionally and personally that i've got pretty decent taste. so, during my out-of-work era (because the industry is collapsing) i've been watching more and more docs that i would share some of my favourites from over the years. also, this is an ever-growing list.
↠ summary
💬 my general word vomit
⚠︎ content warnings
✶ star rating (as a caveat, i'm not ranking the true crime stories themselves as it feels highly unethical just more the editorial decisions also, i'm a firm believer in not watching true crime docs where the people involved haven't signed off on it).

today I did my laundry, my summer shirts, I hadn’t done it in a while
when they say that grief come back by sneaky little waves, they did not warn you that it could come in the shape of seeing your grandmother’s shirts, neatly layed next to yours
you remember her seeing her in those same summer shirts, on a bright afternoon, celebrating her birthday
grief makes you teary eyed in front of the drying rack
but in this grief, you find joy, because you remember her face and you are wearing her shirts, striving for the same happiness on that same summer day
i want this movie to forever live on this blog
what i loved about life today
hearing the distant laughs & jokes of my roommates in the corridor, the distant noise of happiness, while the last of the late afternoon light poured into my room
we danced, ate bananas and saw the sunrise - 25 of April 2026

Q: How long did it take to shoot the Juke music sequence? We shot the interior sequences in one day. For that music interior day, we brought everyone together beforehand for a rehearsal: the choreographer, the actors, the dancers, and the music team. That way, we had a solid plan going in. Our night exterior crane pullback was shot on a different night, and the burning roof plate was captured on our final day of photography. So if you break it down that way, the whole sequence came together over three separate days. — Autumn Durald Arkapaw for Motion Picture Association, March 2026

I wanted this but the original poster is transphobic
This is called the "analog loophole" and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. They can encrypt and copy-protect all they want, but eventually the file has to be sent to a speaker and/or screen, and it has to get there in a human-readable form because that's the whole dang point
The simplest way to exploit the analog loophole is just pointing a camera at a screen or a microphone at a speaker, but direct recording is also always possible and always will be. Anything that can be displayed can be saved and displayed again
Back in the day, people also used to share software over the radio with this technology. Because computer programs and files are really just sets of binary code, and that code can be turned into audio tones.
The resulting audio file can be played over the radio (sounding a bit like the old dial up noise, as it's just two quickly oscillating notes) and recorded to a cassette tape, which you can then give to your computer to "decode" back into 0's and 1's, which gives you the program file. You can then run it as if you'd installed it from a disk.
NPR did a very cool podcast about this.
Lads. We used to put phones on computer peripherals.
This, btw, is the real reason Apple removed the audio jack.
How the flying shit do I plug a VCR into my computer tho
With an USB adapter like this
I just realized, I got to make sure my VCR and CRT TV still work. I still had them when I got my PS3. So I tried this with that. So the first time I ever "streamed" is on a VHS somewhere.
I've used this for YEARS!
First it was the double-jack. Back in the days where the jack input and jack output were separated, I used a cable (jack male to male) to link them both.
Then they stopped to separate them. I learned about the "Stereo Mix" you can use on Windows. The input signal is the output you get in your headphones. You can activate it by going into your recording devices.
For Linux, you have PAVUcontrol (Pulse Audio VolUme Control) that you can install:
sudo apt install pavucontrol
Then record with Audacity.
hey, you, you're finally awake
