Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) is Disney stepping fully into pulp sci fi territory. The angular character designs were influenced by comic artist Mignola. It wasn’t a box office hit on release, but its world building have earned it a cult following.
In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #DemsUnited #BlackHistoryWithLana
They told me at the shelter he was twelve years old and "not very adoptable." His face is lopsided, one ear flops weird, and he's missing half his teeth so his tongue kind of hangs out permanently. The volunteer said he'd been returned twice already because people thought he looked "off" and I stood there looking at this beat up tuxedo cat thinking about how I've felt pretty unadoptable myself since my divorce.
I'm 52 and I went in looking for a kitten, something cute and normal that my grandkids could play with when they visit, but this guy was sitting in the back corner wearing a little bow tie someone had put on him and I just couldn't leave him there. His name was Gerald.
They said he'd probably only have a year or two left and he'd need special food and monthly vet checkups. I took him home that afternoon and my sister said "you adopted the Walmart clearance version of a cat" which honestly made me love him more..
Gerald has one speed and it's judgmental. He sits on the cat tree by the window and stares.
There are pedophiles & abusers in your government, your churches, your children’s school, etc. and you fell for the psyop that made you believe trans people are the ones you should fear and hate. Congrats on being the exact idiot they needed you to be in order to pull this off
In 2018, mountaineer Wojciech Jabczynski reached the summit of Rysy, the highest peak in Poland at 2,499 meters. Instead of an empty peak, he found a domestic ginger cat sitting on the rocks and grooming itself. It appeared healthy and unbothered by the cold or the steep climb
All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.
Say what you like about Banksy, but with these two pictures, he's managed to sum up the attitude of 'British democracy' to free speech when it comes to Israel and the genocide in Gaza.
Trotsky once said that art must tell the truth. I'd say he's met that standard.
