‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire’ was released in theatres 25 years ago today!

It's interesting that the anti-colonial aspect of the book has largely faded from the public consciousness (probably because ppl didn't learn it that way in grade school). Personally I find it difficult to think of it as anything other than a skewering of the colonial mindset.

hay varios borradores de f&b donde rhaenyra tenía hijos legítimos y aún así era usurpada, deben entender que la razón siempre será en todas las versiones que la usurparon POR SER MUJER

She was deported because of this, and later sent to Auschwitz, where she was murdered.

sorry guys but "Criston Cole really fails to live up to the expectations for him set by A Feast for Crows" was something people said about Fire and Blood the moment it came out. the idea that this is a show only problem is some revisionist history.

What I really started worrying about today is a near future in which all access to information is intermediated by AIs, able to infer intent and political coding of all user activity, like a librarian reading over your shoulder and denying your access on a page-by-page basis.

Even beyond dating, I believe any type of short or long relationship is sustained by curiosity, from the mundane 'why do you like this hobby' to the major 'how are you handling grief over xyz'. And, mutual curiosity is the spice of great conversations.

A reminder that the USAID shutdown was a gross violation of the Constitution, and was permitted by the Supreme Court on the shadow docket for no valid reason at all (literally almost no serious scholars think POTUS can shut down a program funded by Congress).

Curious if there are any resources/work about pushback to edutaintment resources in things like schools

i think margaery’s real brilliance is that she treats popularity as something to be cultivated rather than inherited she doesn’t assume people will love her because she’s a noblewoman she actively invests in being worthy of their affection

if you didn’t know who marjane satrapi was and you saw some of this discourse about her, you might think she was akin to, like, henry kissinger

💔 "Nobody can take your freedom. I have lived in a dictatorship. There was a ban on everything! Was I less free in my mind? No, I wasn’t. Did I become a stupid person? No, I didn’t. Because no matter how much they looked at me, they could not get into my mind."

For perspective, the East Germans over the course of nearly 3 decades, killed 140 trying to cross over the Berlin Wall.

happy june to Renly and his pride parade specifically

I think some people aren't really understanding, it's not about corporations actually giving a fuck. They never did. It's moreso an indicator that it *used to* be seen as profitable to signal allyship, but that's just not the case anymore, which is sincerely concerning

An additional benefit is that good public transit that doesn't cut trips at night gives people an alternative way to get home after a night of drinking thats far cheaper than a cab. Good public transit takes drunk drivers off the road.

The Met is for everyone.
