They say action is the antidote for anxiety. That’s why we were so excited when we met @jacksonfranklinforcongress. Instantly, we recognized that he is the leader that matches the moment we are in right now. If you live in Indiana’s fifth district and like what you hear, head over to Jackson’s profile to get involved or donate to his campaign. #peopleoverprofits

@michaelabel289 used Blackout to program 45 Infinibars for NFL Draft content day. Video from the wall fed into MadMapper, which generated RGB values for each pixel and sent them to Blackout through a Cerise 4U. The result? Synchronized lighting across all fixtures that matched the video playback.
Whether you’re new to Blackout or a seasoned programmer, the platform scales to handle everything from small setups to major events.
Want to see how Blackout handles pixel mapping and media server integration? Check out our tutorials at [blackout-app.com](http://blackout-app.com/)

We’re honored to share that She Is More Than is featured in the docuseries “The Religion Business.” @religionbusiness
The film explores important questions about faith, integrity, and how resources are stewarded within religious organizations.
These conversations matter, not because faith is broken, but because it deserves transparency, accountability, and a continued commitment to the people it is meant to serve.
At She Is More Than, we believe the mission must always come first. As a grassroots organization, our focus remains on serving survivors of human trafficking and the communities around them.
If this topic matters to you, we encourage you to watch the documentary and join the conversation.
The Religion Business
Now streaming on Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube.
Live mixing pixel mapped lights for the 2026 NFL Draft media day! Video from the wall getting piped into @mad_mapper, sending RGB data to @blackoutlightingconsole, where I’m able to mix the RGB with CCT white light and control the other fixtures.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
