Asked why Ghibli made the more violent and ambivalent Princess Mononoke after building a brand around gentle fantasy stories, Miyazaki Hayao said that kids need movies that reflect the problems they see in the world, or Ghibli would lose the credibility to make bright, encouraging children's movies

Theseus Slaying the Minotaur. Bronze, sculpted by Antoine-Louis Barye ca. 1840. Wadsworth Atheneum. This gave me a new perspective on the Minotaur. Slay me, Theseus

Theseus preparing to plunge his dagger into the Minotaur. They're both nude, and their legs are wrapped around each other in a way that looks… intimate.

Medieval Christian art represents the Four Evangelists as a winged man (Matthew), a winged lion (Mark), a winged ox (Luke), and a winged… eagle (John). That always threw me off as a child, like I'm pretty sure that one just has wings normally?

Facebook showed me a little AI animation of my (2023 human face selfie) profile pic, which was weird because 1) If I wanted that wouldn't I have just taken a video of my face? 2) My mouth was closed in the photo so it guessed what my teeth look like and it was breathtakingly wrong

Henry Bean's short story "The Event" is going to stick with me for a while. Like a lot of good speculative fiction, its vision of what the world could be is all the more unsettling for its resemblances to the one we already inhabit jewishcurrents.org/the-event

I'm sure it could have been done better / more cleanly but as a soldering novice I'm glad I finally replaced the SRAM battery in this Japanese Pokémon Silver cartridge with a battery holder and it works
