Linked In skill test

https://mattkprovideo.com/2020/06/10/linked-in-skill-tests/

I’ve been using after effects for almost 20 years and premiere for approximately 10. Linked-In suggested I take some “proficiency tests” to earn a badge I can display on my profile. I took and failed both tests! I know how to use both of those programs like the back of my hand, or so I thought.

I know what tools to use to make finished videos. But I didn’t know any of the specific names of certain tools and techniques…

I know what icons / tools to grab to do certain things…. but I never learned the “right” names for them.

And oh yeah, after I failed the tests, linked in offered me training courses so I can take the tests again in 3 months and pass…
for a fee!!!

The Wizard of Oswald: JFK Assassination Documentary (2013) Full

I am a JFK assassination buff, and I lean heavily towards the “Oswald did it, alone” side.
BUT this video has something important at 1 hr and 2 minutes about Oswald being a government agent and his “assignment” to the soviet union.
I can dismiss part of it as just being  part of his Marine Corp “assignment” near Japan and China…..
…is that document faked?

Monsters in the Closet – A History of LGBT Representation in Horror Cinema

I suppose that perhaps I am a particularly clueless rock headed straight guy, but I was surprised by how much gay subtext this guy found in the old Universal horror movies. Bram Stoker was gay? The gay subtext, or at least that of a misunderstood outsider is clear in “FRANKENSTEIN” and especially in “BRIDE of FRANKENSTEIN” But I never read that message into DRACULA or THE WOLFMAN.

I often thought that the Dracula story was a metaphor for anti semitism or anti immigration ( the scary mysterious stranger from eastern Europe with a spooky accent spreading disease…. he fears the cross…) but I never thought of as a metaphor for being in the closet ( in the coffin???… hmmmm…)
