Lilo & Stitch is one of Disney's best movies. It was meant to be a risk -- a "smaller, gutsier film." Even its art direction was risky, down to its revival of watercolor backgrounds at Disney. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-shape-...

My hometown’s river is no longer flammable because of public policy! And our lake (Erie) was once considered dead and now it is slowly recovering, thanks largely to environmental regulations. Public policy works, pass it on.

The problem with "where have you been" responses to people's rising political concerns is that we should be encouraging people to become politically active rather than scolding them upon their arrival.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

I've volunteered for political campaigns for literally 40 years. And one thing that's always helped when things look bleak is the knowledge that there is ALWAYS something practical you can do to help make things better -- whether through electoral politics or other kinds of service. For example...

NPR tech reporter Bobby Allyn obtained this statement from Scarlett Johansson regarding OpenAI's ChatGPT voice that sounds like her role from the 2013 movie "Her"

"Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman,
who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT
4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing
the system, I could bridge the gap between tech
companies and creatives and help consumers to feel
comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans
and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be
comforting to people.
After much consideration and for personal reasons, I
declined the offer. Nine months later, my friends, family
and the general public all noted how much the newest
system named "Sky" sounded like me.
When I heard the released demo, I was shocked,
angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue
a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my
closest friends and news outlets could not tell the
difference. Mr. Altman even insinuated that the
similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word "her"
a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system,
Samantha..."

All insurrectionists should have been expelled from Congress in January 2021, with legal consequences put into place then. Democracy's not lost yet but the further we go without consequence for the electeds that endorsed a coup, closer we get to collapse into autocracy backed by insurrectionist veto

Rent has never been less affordable — for tenants with high and low incomes alike — even while costs for new leases are finally cooling off. Half of American renters spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs with the financial strain rising the fastest for middle-class tenants.

"The evidence is clear: Police departments across the country are solving far fewer crimes than they did before 2020." (via @jeffasher.bsky.social in NYT today) www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/o...

Line chart showing that police clearance rates for fives types of crime – murder, aggravated assault, rape, robbery and larceny/theft – have declined in recent years. Clearance rates refer to the share of cases each year that are closed, or “cleared,” through the arrest, charging and referral of a suspect for prosecution, or due to “exceptional” circumstances such as the death of a suspect or a victim’s refusal to cooperate with a prosecution.
