„Das wirkliche Rätsel ist nicht, wann erstmals Häuptlinge oder Chefs oder sogar Könige und Königinnen auf der Bildfläche erschienen, sondern ab wann es nicht mehr möglich war, sie einfach durch Gelächter zu vertreiben.“
Wengrow, Gräber: Anfänge (Buchtipp!)
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."

Sowas in Deutschland zu schreiben, fühlt sich an, wie ... [nach belieben ergänzen] 😂 https://t.co/1DmWIWm32k
IN 1986 MIT FILMED A LECTURE THAT OPENS BY TELLING YOU COMPUTER SCIENCE IS NOT A SCIENCE AND HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH COMPUTERS
72 minutes from Hal Abelson and Gerald Sussman, the lecture an entire generation of engineers calls the one that rewired how they think.
-> The line that lands: computer science is about computers the way astronomy is about telescopes. The tool was never the point.
The real subject was always one thing -- controlling complexity. Everything else is detail.
Forty years later it reads like a prophecy. AI writes the syntax now. What's left is exactly what they taught: taming complexity nobody can hold in their head.
The language was never the skill -> the thinking was. This is where you learn it.
Most people chase the newest framework. The ones who watched this think on a level frameworks can't touch.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Here is more theatrics for you… JD Vance “Slamming Netanyahu”.
They’re prepping for the pivot toward Vance—Peter Thiel’s protege and did people forget who Thiel is?
Peter Thiel is a mega billionaire and tech entrepreneur, venture capitalist, who acts as a political kingmaker for the worst politicians we have. He co-founded Palantir tech which has entered into a direct military partnership with the IDF while infesting every facet of the US government.
Please stop with the bs narrative. Don’t fall for it from the same controlled opposition who constantly sell you more lies.
Bookmark this tweet. There’s no such thing as the US putting Israel in its place—they’re closer than ever. You’re being tricked.
Déjà-vu in der #BPK Akt III:
@RegSprecher: "Mir ist das nicht bekannt. Ich kann Ihnen dazu nichts sagen, Herr Warweg."
Meine Frage: Ob #Bundesregierung die aktuelle Veröffentlichung der US-Geheimdienstkoordinatorin @TulsiGabbard zu US-finanzierten Biolaboren in der 🇺🇦bekannt ist und wenn ja, wie sie dies bewertet. Pas mal auch die Reaktion @AuswaertigesAmt:
"Ich habe Medienberichte dazu gesehen. Mir ist aber weder der Bericht selbst bekannt, noch haben wir uns das angeschaut."
@cvollrath@PUsiadek@StevenEKuhn Mit Sicherheit war eine Delegation von Spezialexperten der EU in China und hat sich die Great Firewall zeigen lassen.
Jetzt denken die: "Das können wir auch".
Ich sag nur: "The Länd" 😂
