Somewhat Off-Topic Bonus Video: "The Parallax Test" Thinking about the utter insanity of the current U.S. presidential election cycle, it occurs to me that the iconic (less than six minutes long) "Parallax Test Sequence" from the 1974 film "The Parallax View" might be appropriate viewing now, more than ever. Created at a time when the ARPANET was still quite new and social media per se didn't exist beyond some Net mailing lists, this sequence is as devastating to watch now as it was more than 40 years ago. Best viewed fullscreen without distractions, there are scattered frames that would be considered (relatively minor scale) not safe for work.
