Fresh in from the wilderness, a creatureboy, deformed

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:

- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.

- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.

- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.

- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.

- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.

Nobody has ever made the dark feel as real as old Disney did.

In these films the night isn't an absence of light. It's a color, and someone mixed it by hand…

Disney had its own paint laboratory, built by a woman named Mary Weiser, the first of its kind in animation. Its job was to invent shades that did not exist yet. In the early thirties, when the studio was still making shorts, there were around eighty shades on the shelves. By the time they finished Snow White there were fifteen hundred.

Every one of them went on by hand, cel by cel, and each cel needed hours to dry before it could be photographed.

The Ink and Paint department was almost entirely women. According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, the paints were sometimes named after them, and to have a color carry your name was considered an honour.

So the dark of Bambi's forest, the lamplight in Geppetto's workshop, the blue at Cinderella's attic window: none of it is a filter or a setting or a dimmer turned down. Each is a specific colour that a specific person mixed in a jar, and some of those jars had her name on the label.

That is why these scenes still feel more alive than anything made since. We went from hands, to computers, to AI, and at every step there is a little less of the person left in it…

The author Joanna Maciejewska said it better than anyone: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

There's no reforming this rogue and monstrous agency.

The only way forward: Abolish and prosecute ICE.

And here I was really hoping this would go more like Lindesfarne

[MK @mkliebmann]

Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America

Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America

Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America

Happy Saturday In the Park day to all who celebrate

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

We need a ban on stock trading by the President and Members of Congress.

It’s bullshit that elected officials are getting rich off the backs of the American people while having access to insider information.

I live in an apartment that I rent. If I wanted to invite a Vampire into my home, would I be able to? Or would he have to go through my landlord, the legal owner, in order to enter?

Me and my friends getting left behind by AI

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Trump's DHS Secretary said, “For some reason, ICE has been demonized.”

ICE murdered two of my constituents in broad daylight and terrorized Minnesota.

The American people want us to stop bankrolling more terror from this rogue agency. Abolish it.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Disgusting racism. I’m sick and tired of Republicans getting away with blatant racism. This rhetoric should be unequivocally condemned, not ignored by GOP leadership that’s too afraid to condemn bigotry. 

Rep. Kiggans must resign.

[cats with jobs 🛠 @CatWorkers]

I don’t make the rules. my cat does.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached. 

When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

[Derek Rae @RaeComm]

Not everyone will see it this way but the World Cup has never been - and should never be - akin to a select invitation list with preferred guests.
74/78/94 no England, 82/86 no Netherlands after back-to-back finals, now 3 times in a row, no Italy.
We enjoyed them all anyway.

[ICE delenda est @cabbag3_]

Said it before but how tf were The Outfield not more popular. All time great hit, very good debut album with an actual good name. It makes no sense

[big laboon guy @Jaycoob4]

@cabbag3_ Coaching Nebraska? I thought he played for Marseille

[big laboon guy @Jaycoob4]

@cabbag3_ The company has no loyalty to the employees

[Bianca @BiancaTylek]

Meanwhile this… It’s truly all overwhelming.

[hex @thectrldevil]

he kept asking who bands were and then following up with “are they dead?” and dad goes “he just learned about nirvana :/“
