Politically incorrect speech but instead of slurs it's just "Lake Ontario"

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

The overall tone and style reminded me of late '90s Brendan Fraser comedies and the 2000 Rocky & Bullwinkle movie. A forgotten Golden Age of silly cinema

I once heard a social psychology professor call this the Indianapolis 500 Effect: when one is so single-mindedly focused on advocacy that if you ask what they think of the Indianapolis 500 their first response is "Every last one of them must be freed"

Looks like I'd have to drive 40mi / 65km to see The History of Concrete, so probably not this weekend. It looks fun though

Hmmm… I think the closest thing I have is this generic AliExpress mp3 player that's a clone of the 1st generation iPod Shuffle but runs from a microSD card. Speaker not included—you'd hook it up to a speaker by aux—but it can treat folders as albums and one of its play modes is looping an album IIRC

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.

The US Navy sent a research submarine to explore geothermal vents of the Galápagos Rift in 1977 expecting them to be too hot for marine life but instead found a bunch of these worms and called the site the Rose Garden

Commonly called "giant tube worms", they grow around deep sea geothermal vents

The Law of Attraction isn't real. But if you can't name and visualize what you want in life you risk being unable to recognize it when it's right in front of you

I can't say I'm used to thinking of myself as especially punk, but I feel like I see more resemblance there than to fandom. I'm a *fan* of the 1967 TV miniseries The Prisoner and the electronica duo Boards of Canada. The way I relate to furry stuff feels significantly different from that

#DenFur You heard the man! We could always use more but let's get like...75 more people. It would be funny. And besides, the price goes up by $10 if you don't prereg and no one wants to pay more if they don't have to. denfur.org/register

I forget who it was on here (Hearthfox?) who some months back suggested it's better understood as a punk subculture than as a fandom

Late to this, but have you seen Julia Evans comics? I love them as a reference and often recommend them to newly hired coworkers. This is just one example but there are a bunch of them for different Linux and computer science topics wizardzines.com/comics/meet-...
