Norman Rockwell was actually a progressive and challenging artist and his reputation for nostalgic schlock was undeserved.

Okay so maybe not 27 hours but here you go

Panel 1: a person reclines on a bed holding a switch saying, “ah, time to sit and play one of my childhood faves! Lets relax and forget our worries for a little bit~”

Panel 2: PS1 sprite Barret stands staring out sadly saying, “corporations are destroying the planet, valuing profit over lives and morals. Every day is a struggle to hope and fight back.”

Panel 3: person from panel 1 stares down at their switch with a blank smile and a tear rolling down their cheek as they state, “oh dear”

By a longshot, the most common mistake people who are into politics make - from seven-figure strategists to randos offering Takes online - is overestimating how much attention normal people pay to politics, how much they know, and how deeply they think about it. *Vastly* overestimating.

I know I'm a broken record but studios are going to lose amazing animation talent they'll never recover if they don't start making things again. ANY cartoons. We're years into the overcorrection from Peak TV and yet execs and studios are still terrified to green light even surefire established IP.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

A lot of the actionable advice here for American trans creators really stuck out to me, particularly the warning that we need to stop heavily relying on cloud storage for harboring our works, because those are platforms to which trans folks' access could be rescinded at any time.

it's honestly just insane that they can entirely fabricate an issue with zero evidence or actual occurrences of something, whip up the entire nation into a hateful frenzy over this non-existent problem, and then pass legislature to ban the non-existent problem that never was an issue at any point

120 years ago, player pianos were touted as the future of music. No more tiresome practice, just insert a paper roll and let it play. They were popular for a time, but it turns out people enjoy the act of creating their own music, and thus the player piano faded into a technical curiosity.

An ad for the Aeolian Pianola player piano, demonstrating how it can be played by hand or via paper roll.

“In the old way, years had to be spent in teaching the fingers their part…in the new, a few hours at the most are needed to thoroughly master the Pianola”

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

There's a reason acceptance of gays and lesbians closely paralleled their increasing presence on network TV shows in the '90s and aughts, even in heavily stereotypical roles. "Knowing" someone in fiction is often a viable proxy for knowing them in real life.
