Short horror on Tiktok, a short thriller on Twitter

Fiction on TikTok...The default assumption is that videos show reality, but this account posts the beginnings of creepy stories with actors. Is the uncertainty and tension of not knowing the appeal? It's got 550k followers, and the stories are good! pic.twitter.com/MjM9Q0ML6o

"New York's attorney general announced plans Thursday to sue New York City for $810 million for inflating the price of taxi medallions"

NBC:

The city made $855 million on sales of medallions, the licenses that allow a person to operate a yellow cab, between 2002 and 2014 when it stopped holding medallion auctions.

The value of a medallion has plummeted from over $1 million in 2013 to less than $200,000 now

Him: "Yeah, but the drivers lease the cars off the same guy. I met him." (2/9)

"The set-up means that when these drivers complete a ride, the payment goes direct to the guy who owns the car.

The driver sees precisely zero cents until they hit a monthly quota. The money's in the owner's account; he then transfers it once the quota's hit." (4/9)

"A dangerous mix of fear and fake news about the coronavirus has sparked violent protests in Ukraine, despite there being no confirmed cases in the country"

Buzzfeed:

Protests and clashes with riot police have broken out in several places after a mass email claiming to be from Ukraine’s health ministry spread false information that there were five cases of coronavirus in the country, on the same day a plane carrying evacuees from China arrived. Protesters have smashed the windows of buses carrying evacuees and set fire to makeshift barricades.

...

Only two Ukrainians have been infected with the coronavirus and they are aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked in Japan, and they've already recovered.

You can replace a Wii sensor bar with two candles

CNET:

The sensor bar is plugged into the Wii, but that's just for power. It's lighting up infrared LEDs. Those are picked up by the Wiimote, and it triangulates off them to determine its position, and then the Wiimote sends that information back to the Wii.

perhaps the fact that the scene suddenly becomes a fantasy, an imagined outcome to this encounter. Why would everyone but one extra disappear from the scene after the one take ends?

"Whatever happened to the practical creatures from 'Pitch Black'?"

Befores and Afters:

To celebrate the Pitch Black’s 20th anniversary, I wanted to look back at the fantastic creature work of the film with animatronics supervisor and puppeteer John Cox, in particular. Before our conversation, though, he sent me something that I initially thought was kind of upsetting: photos of his team pulling down the animatronic creatures that had adorned his own studio in Queensland for several years and then taking them out to the trash.

I had to know more about what had gone on.

...

There was an early discussion that there was to be no blood because they wanted to get it in on a certain rating. Now, with blood, in the way that it’s perceived for ratings in films, is red blood. So we had a very, very pale blue blood and there were buckets and buckets of blue blood…and never a problem because it wasn’t red! That way we could just throw it everywhere; on people, on the ground, on the critters, and not have to worry about a rating, since it didn’t look like human blood.
