dividers, on a plain light grey-white seamless studio background.</p><p>Left panel: full-body front view. Middle panel: front-facing head-and-shoulders portrait. Right panel: side-profile head-and-shoulders portrait, face turned 90 degrees to the left.</p><p>Same man in all three panels, with an identical face, hair, beard, physique, costume and lighting. Early 30s, 5&#8217;8&#8221; (173 cm), athletic lean stunt-athlete physique, broad shoulders, strong neck, tapered waist, powerful agile legs, natural realistic proportions.</p><p>Face: warm medium-brown skin with natural texture and visible pores, short thick black hair with a textured side-swept top and faint natural silver at the temples, defined hairline, full dark well-groomed beard, thick straight eyebrows, deep-set dark brown eyes, strong straight nose, strong jawline. Serious, calm and focused expression, lips closed, jaw set, steady intense gaze, no smile, no teeth.</p><p>Costume: modern cinematic espionage protagonist. Lightweight warm sand-beige technical overshirt-jacket, worn open with sleeves pushed to the forearms, two chest flap pockets. Off-white fitted crew-neck T-shirt. Muted dusty slate-blue tapered technical trousers with subtle utility details. Slim olive-green woven belt with small metal D-ring buckle. Minimalist cream off-white low-profile sneakers with a thin navy stripe on the sole, slightly scuffed. Very subtle dusty-blue stitching and details, never dominant. Hands empty, no accessories, no weapons, no logos or insignia.</p><p>Full body: standing upright, feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders back, chest open, arms relaxed, serious gaze into camera.</p><p>Front portrait: chest-up framing, jacket collar and T-shirt visible, looking directly into camera.</p><p>Profile portrait: chest-up, true 90-degree profile, clearly showing beard line, nose bridge, jawline and ear, eyes looking straight ahead.</p><p>Soft even diffused studio lighting with subtle directional key from upper left. Premium realistic fabric texture, cinematic costume design, photorealistic, natural skin detail, 35mm aesthetic.</p><p>Use Image 1 as the strict identity reference. Preserve the exact likeness: same face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, hairline, beard density and beard line, skin tone and silver strands. Do not beautify, idealize, slim or alter the face. Only change the expression to serious. Do not copy the clothing from Image 1.</p><p>No tactical vest, military gear, excessive pockets, weapons, logos, insignia, environment or text.</p></div><p><strong>Villain Character</strong></p><div

Middle panel: front-facing head-and-shoulders portrait. Right panel: side-profile head-and-shoulders portrait, face turned 90 degrees to the left. Left panel shot from a distance with an 85mm-equivalent lens, showing the full figure head to toe with space above the head and below the boots.</p><p>Same man in all three panels, early 30s, tall lean build, approximately 6&#8217;1&#8221; (185 cm), natural realistic proportions, narrow shoulders, long legs. Pale cool-toned complexion, sharp angular cheekbones, defined jawline, gaunt severe features. Shoulder-length straight dark hair, worn loose and slicked back behind the ears. Thin distinctive diagonal scar across the left cheek, running from below the left eye toward the jaw. Narrow slim rectangular black sunglasses with opaque non-reflective lenses. Cold, emotionless expression, lips closed in a flat neutral line, head perfectly level.</p><p>Costume: dark, grounded historical stealth-assassin outfit designed for fast parkour and rooftop pursuit. Sophisticated and intimidating rather than ornate, using believable pre-industrial materials. No zippers.</p><p>Outer layer: long, sharp-silhouetted matte black wool-and-leather hooded coat reaching mid-calf. Hood DOWN, folded into a narrow sharp cowl around the back of the neck. Tall raised structured collar and notched lapel-like front edges. Coat worn open at the chest, with straight body lines falling down the sides.</p><p>Lining: extremely subtle deep-purple fabric visible only along the inner coat edges, cuffs and a thin glimpse at the hem, less than 5% of the visible surface. No purple on the exterior.</p><p>Armor and straps: dark olive-brown leather high collar, fitted dark olive-brown leather chest panel under the open coat, thin functional cross-straps and narrow belts with plain dark metal buckles. Minimal and practical.</p><p>Scar motif: one thin diagonal scar-like slash across the LEFT leather shoulder piece, a pale raised line running diagonally from the upper shoulder toward the chest, matching the diagonal scar on the left cheek. Clearly visible in all three panels.</p><p>Legs and feet: fitted black trousers, heavy worn black leather boots with dark olive-brown straps, scuffed and weathered.</p><p>Full body: standing rigidly upright with feet together, arms straight at the sides, hands empty, facing the camera.</p><p>Front portrait: chest-up framing, showing the raised collar, folded hood, leather high collar and left cheek scar, facing directly into camera.</p><p>Profile portrait: chest-up, face turned fully left, scarred left cheek clearly visible, sunglasses arm over the ear, hair slicked behind the ear, folded hood behind the neck and left shoulder scar piece visible.</p><p>Identical face, scar, hair, sunglasses, physique, costume and lighting across all three panels. Strict color palette: black, olive-brown and deep purple. Soft even diffused studio lighting, photorealistic skin and fabric detail, cinematic realistic dark costume concept art, 35mm aesthetic.</p><p>No weapons, emblems, insignia, logos, environment or

Keep both cars, the racetrack, dusk lighting and 3D animated look exactly as shown. New scene, continuing the same race.</p><p>CHARACTERS &#8212; keep identical in every shot:</p><p>BLACK CAR:</p><p>Long, low, sleek matte-black coupe with thin glowing purple neon lines tracing the body panels, bright purple underglow on the asphalt, glowing purple headlights, dark wraparound windshield visor with narrow focused eyes behind it, and a low roof spoiler.</p><p>CREAM CAR:</p><p>Small rounded retro compact with cream paint and light weathering, light-blue racing stripe over the hood and roof, thin olive pinstripe along the sides, round headlights, cream wheels with navy rims, large expressive brown eyes on the windshield, and a small friendly grille.</p><p>SETTING:</p><p>Oval racetrack at dusk. Purple-pink-orange sky, tall lattice floodlight towers blazing white, long concrete outer wall with a catch fence along the RIGHT side of the track, dark asphalt. Only these two cars are present.</p><p>SHOT 1 &#8212; 0.0&#8211;1.0s:</p><p>Low camera just above the asphalt, facing the cars head-on and moving backward at their speed. Cream car on the right beside the wall, black car on the left. The black car drifts sideways, going door-to-door and nudging the cream car toward the wall. Cream car&#8217;s eyes widen.</p><p>SHOT 2 &#8212; 1.0&#8211;1.4s:</p><p>Hard cut. Extreme close-up along the cream car&#8217;s right side as it scrapes the concrete wall. A burst of bright orange sparks explodes toward the camera with heavy motion blur.</p><p>SHOT 3 &#8212; 1.4&#8211;2.4s:</p><p>Hard cut. Tight low front shot of the cream car squeezed between the wall and black car. Sparks stream over its roof, purple glow reflects across its left side. Its eyes become determined. The right wheels begin climbing the curved base of the wall as the car tilts sideways.</p><p>SHOT 4 &#8212; 2.4&#8211;3.2s:</p><p>Hard cut. Low front angle. The cream car rides up the wall and launches into the air, performing a sideways barrel roll over the top of the black car. Sparks trail behind it. Brief slow-motion feeling at the peak.</p><p>SHOT 5 &#8212; 3.2&#8211;4.0s:</p><p>Hard cut. Low camera from the track surface looking upward. Cream car is upside down directly above the black car, mid-roll. Both cars&#8217; eyes lock onto each other for a brief frozen beat. Floodlights flare dramatically behind them as sparks drift downward.</p><p>STYLE:</p><p>Cinematic animated-feature racing sequence. High-energy pacing, punchy fast cuts, realistic weight and momentum, strong motion blur, bright orange sparks contrasting against purple neon, anamorphic floodlight flares, rich dusk color grade, sharp detailed 3D animation.</p><p>AUDIO:</p><p>Engine roar, tire squeal and metal-on-concrete scraping only.</p><p>NO:</p><p>No dialogue, no music, no crowd, no other cars, no extra characters, no text.</p></div><p><strong>In Assassin&#8217;s Creed World</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

frame. Begin precisely on this frame with no changes to the composition, faces, costumes or lighting. Continue the motion naturally from the existing pose.</p><p>EDITING:</p><p>3 shots joined by instant HARD CUTS. Cut on action. No transitions, no morphing. Each shot uses a different camera setup.</p><p>CHARACTERS &#8212; keep identical throughout:</p><p>HERO:</p><p>Upside down at the top of the frame. Dark hair in a messy top-knot, full dark beard, brown eyes, small cut on cheekbone. Weathered cream robe, torn and dusty, deep red sash and scarf, crossed brown leather straps, dark leather bracers, dark trousers and worn leather boots.</p><p>RIVAL:</p><p>At the bottom of the frame. Buzz-cut dark hair, pale blue eyes, angular weathered face, cheek scar. Black scarf wrapped high, layered tattered black and deep-purple robes, dark metal shoulder armor and leather straps.</p><p>SETTING:</p><p>Sunlit rooftops of an old Spanish Baroque city. Ornate bell tower with weathervane on the left, blue-tiled dome below it, terracotta roof with stone finial on the right. Stormy clouds with the golden sun blazing directly behind the two men. Dust and broken tile fragments floating through the air.</p><p>SHOT 1 &#8212; 0.0&#8211;1.8s:</p><p>Continue directly from the first frame. The hero completes his flip over the rival&#8217;s head, continuing the same rotation. His robe and red scarf whip through the air as the sun flares behind him.</p><p>The camera stays low, quickly tilting and panning right to follow him. He drops onto the terracotta roof on the right and lands in a fast shoulder roll across the tiles. A few tiles crack and slide off the edge. He immediately springs up and sprints forward.</p><p>In the foreground, the rival spins around to face him and draws a short sword from his hip.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 2 &#8212; 1.8&#8211;3.4s:</p><p>Side-tracking shot moving alongside them on the sloped roof, with the bell tower ahead in the background.</p><p>The hero sprints along the roof ridge at full speed, the rival directly behind him. The rival swings his sword in a wide arc. The hero ducks underneath it without breaking stride, the blade catching the sunlight.</p><p>Tiles skitter beneath their boots, robes billow in the wind and dust glows in the golden backlight.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 3 &#8212; 3.4&#8211;5.0s:</p><p>Wide shot from behind as the camera rises.</p><p>The hero leaps from the roof edge across a deep gap toward the bell tower, arms extended forward, robe and red scarf streaming behind him.</p><p>The rival launches after him a beat later.</p><p>Both remain silhouetted mid-air against the blazing sun, with the old city sprawling below. End with both characters still suspended in mid-air.</p><p>STYLE:</p><p>Epic historical action film, photorealistic, matching the first frame&#8217;s visual style exactly. Strong golden backlight, bright rim light on hair and fabric, faces in warm shadow, anamorphic sun flare, deep contrast and subtle film grain. Handheld energy, realistic weight, momentum and parkour physics, natural motion blur on fast movements.</p><p>AUDIO:</p><p>Wind rush, cloth flapping, boots hitting clay tiles, tiles cracking, sword drawn from its sheath and blade whooshing past.</p><p>NO:</p><p>No dialogue, no music, no crowd, no extra characters, no text.</p></div><p><strong>In Rome</strong></p><div

Begin exactly on this frame. @Image2 is the man in the brown leather jacket. @Image3 is the man in the black leather jacket. Keep both faces, hair and costumes exactly like these references in every shot.</p><p>SETTING (all shots): an empty old European street at dawn, cobblestones, pastel buildings with shutters, iron street lamps, a few cars parked along the kerb. Soft pink sky, cool even morning light, light haze. No people anywhere in any shot, only the two men and the parked cars.</p><p>SCREEN DIRECTION (all shots): the man in brown is always on the LEFT side, the man in black always on the RIGHT side.</p><p>EDITING: 6 shots joined by instant hard cuts, cut on action, no transitions.</p><p>SHOT 1 (0.0&#8211;1.2s): Continuing from the first frame, the high camera looking down. The man in brown finishes his roll and settles onto one knee on the cobblestones, his hand already reaching inside his jacket. The man in black lands upper right and straightens up. Cut as the man in brown draws a black pistol.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 2 (1.2&#8211;3.0s): Medium close-up, low and front three-quarter, of the man in brown on one knee, both hands on the black pistol, aiming toward frame right. He fires four quick shots in a steady rhythm: four bright muzzle flashes, the pistol recoiling sharply each time, brass casings flipping out and bouncing on the cobblestones. His face is focused and steady, eyes narrowed down the sights.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 3 (3.0&#8211;4.6s): Medium wide shot of the man in black standing in the street, facing frame left. With impossible speed and precision he leans, twists and sidesteps, slipping each of the four shots by inches, his body snapping left, right, low, then upright. Small puffs of stone dust and sparks kick off the cobblestones and a parked car door behind him. His sunglasses stay on, his face calm and expressionless.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 4 (4.6&#8211;5.8s): Medium close-up of the man in brown, still on one knee, pulling the trigger again: the pistol&#8217;s slide is locked back, empty, a dry click. He glances down at the empty pistol for a split second, then looks back up toward frame right, a subtle tightening of his jaw and a quick breath as he realizes he is out of ammunition.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 5 (5.8&#8211;7.4s): Medium wide shot, front three-quarter, of the man in black running hard toward frame left, closing the distance in a few long strides, his leather jacket flaring, then launching himself forward into a long, low, horizontal dive with both arms reaching out to grab the man in brown.</p><p>[HARD CUT]</p><p>SHOT 6 (7.4&#8211;10.0s): Side-on medium wide tracking shot, the camera moving right to left with the action at full speed. The man in black flies through the frame from right to left, fully horizontal in mid-dive, arms outstretched. Just as his hands reach him, the man in brown twists out from under the grab, spins away and sprints off toward frame left. The camera whips left to keep up, the parked cars and building fronts streaking past in heavy motion blur. End the clip at the peak of the motion, everything at maximum speed.</p><p>STYLE: grounded, high-end spy-thriller action, photoreal, realistic weight, momentum and recoil physics, natural dawn light consistent across all shots, subtle handheld energy, crisp detail, slight film grain.</p><p>AUDIO: sound effects only. Four sharp pistol shots echoing off the buildings, brass casings ringing on stone, small ricochet pings, a dry empty click, boots on cobblestones, leather creaking, the whoosh of the dive, a scuff of boots as he twists away. No music, no dialogue, no voices.</p></div><p><strong>The Rooftop</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg" width="1280" height="720" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:720,&quot;width&quot;:1280,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:97328,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.third.club/i/219438686?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aiEb!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F25a9f5a2-1316-43f9-b0a1-de07a2a53090_1280x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p>16:9, 4 seconds. One continuous shot, no cuts. Everything plays in REAL TIME, no slow motion.</p><p>CONTINUITY: @image_1 is the composition the shot settles on. Keep its terrace, village, sea, light, grade and both shirts exactly.</p><p>CAMERA: The shot opens already in motion, as if continuing a fast tracking move from the previous shot: the camera is gliding from right to left at running speed, with natural horizontal motion blur on the background. Over the first second it decelerates smoothly, like an operator easing to a stop, and settles into a static frame with only a very slight handheld drift for the rest of the shot. No pans, no zooms, no push-ins.</p><p>ACTION:</p><p>0.0&#8211;1.0s: A strong gust sweeps from frame right to frame left at the same moment, carrying the energy of the previous shot. The black shirt with the purple collar and cuffs surges hard toward the left on its hanger, its sleeve stretching out toward the tan shirt as if reaching for it. The tan shirt swings away to the left on its hanger, just out of reach. The washing line dips and bounces with the jolt.</p><p>1.0&#8211;4.0s: The gust fades. Both shirts swing back a little, then settle into an ordinary, steady breeze, still side-on and facing left, fluttering gently. The line stops bouncing. In the background the sea glints softly. Calm returns.</p><p>LIGHT AND GRADE: warm late-afternoon Mediterranean sunlight, soft shadows, natural colour, subtle film grain, matching @image_1.</p><p>SOUND: sound effects only. A rushing gust of wind at the start that dies down, cotton snapping then fluttering softly, the wooden hangers knocking on the line, faint distant waves and seagulls. No music of any kind, no score, no voices.</p><p>AVOID: a static camera at the start, camera moving left to right, wind blowing left to right, people, figures, shirts filling out into a human shape, shirts turning to face the camera, extra clothes or objects, motion trails, ghosting, double images, cloth morphing, shirts or hangers coming off the line, zooms, slow motion, background music, dust, leaves, glows, text, logos.</p></div><h1><strong>Final Video</strong></h1><p>Want to check out the final output? <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DePchZshij2/">Click here</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><div class="image-link image2" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png" width="1456" height="289" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:289,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Doxp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08e73b9a-224d-4d76-a5e6-0eca967747f2_2048x406.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></div></figure></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.third.club">Subscribe</a> | <a href="https://tally.so/r/wooEve">Advertise</a> | <a href="https://tally.so/r/nWP21j">Apply for funding</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thirdnetwork">Watch</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thirdnetwork/">Follow</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
