Shout-out to Travis Knight, who's father is the CEO of Nike (yes THAT Nike, the shoe brand) using his immense inherited wealth to fund stop motion animation at a financial loss purely for the love of the art. Laika Studios my beloved <3

It is amazing to me that they made a masterpiece like Odyssey and then turned around and made a nothing-burger like Valhalla. They told an amazing story in a vivid and authentic world, and then Valhalla felt empty and boring by comparison.

Lindsay Graham was, I think, one of the most contemptible figures in US politics, a titan of respectable bipartisan foreign policy for years who displayed no principles, no insight, and no beliefs beyond a gleeful and vicarious love of violence. An indictment of every institution he served in. RIP.

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

This man is so blitzed and frightened that he turned himself into a parody that no political cartoonist could hope to excel. And this was achieved purely through nonviolence.

I don't believe that authors owe their readership anything. GRRM is an entirely different person from when he started those books and is trying to tell different stories with different ideas.
