Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

I was at a commencement at CalArts in the late '00s and the speaker urged graduates to "love the world into a crisis of change." Any chance anyone was at a CalArt commencement in the late '00s and remembers who said it? Or can tell me that the line is (maybe?) someone else's, with a citation?

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

I feel like a major lesson of Trump is that people like him will act in bad faith or violate the law no matter what, so it's literally not possible to Trump-proof a policy except through robust removal and punishment provisions for people like Trump.

It is shockingly common for child welfare agencies to remove children from parents because they can't afford housing. Billing them for the foster care really is just beyond the pale. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“Nobody Blames the Landlord. They Just Take Away the Kids.”
All too often, when parents can’t afford safe housing, the solution child welfare services offer is putting their children in foster care.

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.

MAN. Because for all intentions and purposes, nationally, I'm American as hell (I have no claims to Haitian nationhood that I can invoke without going back there to live for ~6 years): This is the nationality conversation Black immigrants deal with: loss of heritage through migration.
There is also a fascinating legal discussion at the heart of the film about what it means to be a "Haïtien d'origine" and what rights come with that label: whether your grandparents must also be Haitian and whether you must not have ever renounced your citizenship. As someone whose birth certificate reads "PAYSAN ... Née à l'hôpital Justinien. Cap-Haïtien, Haïti," I watched with great intrigue the lengths the duo went through for something I take for granted.

The film's personal, first-person framework naturally calls for a richer exploration of the duo's relationship, and it ultimately suffers from the lack of that context. There are a couple of conversations that feel unfinished and leave us wondering. Throughout "Dual Citizenship," we see a tension between Edouard and Rachelle. There is resentment and strain between the two that the film only touches on at the surface. A deeper dive would have shed some light on what is really driving Edouard, a Trump supporter, to be reluctant but still willing to make this journey to please his daughter, and Rachelle to be so enthusiastic about the sheer possibility of being Haitian on paper, though she already is in almost all other aspects of her life.
