Anyone remember pressing their nose to a CRT television and seeing the RGB grille?

Had a dream I was looking at my cellphone. I eventually scrolled to an image that had sort of a CRT grille effect filter, except...

It looked odd, so I instinctively pressed my nose against the cellphone screen.

Whomever had made the image had hidden extra visual information within the image. It felt like one of those magic eye images but on steroids.

Came across this 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 collection I had to share.

'MrJackio' has a full set up for their analog visual arts studio - and it is a #RetroBattlestation paradise.
All are used for specific projects that require different #design and #art styles. I love that the closet is stuffed full of #CRT displays and camcorders, too. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 is dedication to a design principle and aesthetic!

Honestly gives me strong #CassetteFuturism vibes.

My fav? That an #Amiga computer can still have use!

I find it amusing that, in an interplanetary spacecraft from 2032, one of the display screens—the one used to display the commander's video logs—is a #Trinitron #CRT.

#StarTrek is usually more diligent about concealing primitive display technology behind Okudagrams. Did they really think CRTs would still be in common use in 2032? Plasma displays and LCDs were already a thing in 1999 when the episode aired.

If my insurance agent could see the shit I get up to in my home, I don't think he'd be quite so nice to me.

But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).

Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.

But this was the hard part!

A large 36" CRT television, hanging from a chain and a series of ratchet straps. The TV is suspended in a walk-in closet space and is about 3-4 feet off the floor. This is pretty scary, as this television weighs 220lbs!
The 36" CRT television in its new home. To either side are LCD screens (48" and 43") on their own TV stands. The CRT is resting on a large coffee table, which is holding up its weight very well. In the background is a large triangular window partially covered with tinted panels.
An opening in the floor of a loft space, with a chain hanging down into the closet below. The large CRT television is just barely visible at the end of the chain. Up top, a hoist frame made of dimensional lumber is visible, alongside the original railing which surrounded the opening.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

I think he really needs to explore the nature of evil and be forced to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Rafael Cruz, father of Ted Cruz, wants Texas to require school lessons about “evil” of communism

Cruz, who was invited by lawmakers to testify in favor of the bill, said that young people are being “brainwashed on the virtues of socialism” through Critical Race Theory (CRT), Diversity or Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and other initiatives that have already been banned in some Texas public institutions by Republican lawmakers. He also argued that “communist professors” have infiltrated colleges across the country, and suggested deporting people who “don’t like it here.”

In Andor, season one, Syril Karn's fictional bedroom is clearly inspired by the real life Nakagin Capsule Tower, which was demolished in 2022.

I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower with my own eyes.

As an aside, pictures from "Nakagin Capsule Tower Building Preservation and Restoration Project" here: nakagincapsuletower.com/
