Every single thing about the world that used to bring joy or value is being ruined systematically from the top-down, but the fallout from that, in all its particulars, is being blamed almost exclusively on the people at the bottom with no ability to change it.

This is why I always emphasize that "the media just likes Trump for clicks and ratings" is not accurate. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is the worst in political history and instead of sensationalizing it, they repeatedly minimize it and downplay it despite massive public interest
public perception says mainstream media is sensationalist, lusts for scandal, will make anything up to sell papers and get clicks etc.,
and then this particular president does like 10 scandals a day and mainstream media insists on describing his actions in the most uninteresting way possible

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a media organization to manipulate the public.
“They need that money to invest in businesses!” And to suppress the media.

Folks, not to be a rainy cloud, but the only thing that changes when he croaks is who's sitting in the chair, and the only people poised to take it are simply different flavors of evil. There will be a struggle for power, and someone will continue the agenda.

It is 100% a culture war. There is no value in this dogshit. None. Look, the WORST people want you to use AI. Corporate America. CEOs. Management types. Republicans. Trump. No one you respect or admire is saying it's good.
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

It would seem indicative (if not definitional) of monopoly power when one of the largest companies in the world starts complaining that the market is at fault for not wanting to buy the products they insist everyone must buy.

Need to change where your scaling origin is or where your rotations are pivoting around?
Blender gives you a few options to change those basis points! 3D cursor is a very useful and common one as you move things around in edit mode.

Here's the particular figure I was manipulating (and replicating). Quite a fetching curve, if I do say so myself.

Glad you asked!
It's one of the core things I've worked on since I started with procedural graphics. My method centers on what I usually call the TimeFactor, which spits out a 0-1 value from the first to last frame of the animation.

Thanks for the question! Texture painting isn't one of my core strengths in Blender, so frankly, I had to spin up the program and refresh myself pretty quick. BUT I do have some tips, and the first is TEXTURE! Just applying something nice and grungy as a mask makes a huge difference.
