The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

Also just to be very clear: the AfD have normalised and mainstreamed support for the far-right, but as @okwonga.bsky.social points out, they are the face of a broader movement. At the AfD rally last Sunday, there were many families who brought their kids, standing alongside people with Nazi tattoos.

1/ Doomism means saying it's too late and nothing can be done. It doesn't mean saying things are bad. One recent high profile paper in @pnas.org treats conflates this. Whilst another paper in the British Journal of Psychology treats naming who funded climate delay as conspiracism. A thread 🧵

...the best preserved temples of the Roman period. Baalbek is an UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984 and one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. 🧵2/2

Aerial view of the ancient Roman temple complex of Baalbek in Lebanon, showing the massive so-called Temple of Bacchus with its well-preserved colonnade, the remains of the Temple of Jupiter with scattered giant stone blocks, and surrounding ruined walls and courtyards. The site is set within a green landscape with trees, fields, and modern houses in the background under warm sunlight.

Japanese officials have coined an entirely new word to signify the dangerous heat of #ClimateChange. It's "kokushobi," which means "cruel heat day." This coinage is but a drop of the coming shower of cultural changes that climate change will force upon us. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/w...

The term got its first use on Tuesday, when three cities in central Japan recorded 40-degree temperatures, a first for the country this year. Officials urged people to stay indoors, use air-conditioning
and drink water. There were signs that many people had heeded the warnings, as popular sites such as Osaka Castle and Kyoto's Kiyomizu Temple
saw smaller crowds than usual on Tuesday. "Numbers are difficult to understand because people perceive them differently. By giving it the name 'cruel heat day,' people will understand it better just by hearing it, and they'll feel that today is dangerous," said Taro Kawasato, the assistant director of the Japan
Meteorological Agency's climate prediction division.

First Queen clean artwork by Yoshitaka Amano used on the cover of the Sharp X68000 and NEC PC-98 releases in Japan. Image depicts a warrior with an intricate armor and a red and yellow cape riding a white horse also with intricate ornaments, dashing against a falling tribal warrior whose shield came out flying. There's a huge battle behind them where several other warriors can be seen as well as several lances. The overall scene has a warm tone with shades of beige, brown, orange, and yellow mixing among each other.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.

A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

Timeline cleanse: Fatigue II by Ukrainian artist Mihail Zablodski renders exhaustion as a kind of beautiful annihilation. Suspended between drowning and serenity, the figure exists in the aftermath of resistance; where consciousness dissolves into stillness before it can become grief.

Here we go again... Massive 5920 gpm upper-level ridge is being forecast to park over western Europe in the weekend. The 500-hPa heights will exceed ERA5 May climatology by several meters, indicating a potential for an intense and locally even record-breaking early-season heatwave.

Geopotential heights at 500 hPa showing the peak value of 5921 gpm. EMCWF forecast map from meteologix.com.

500-hPa heights vs. its monthly record in ERA5 1950-2024. Large areas over France and the UK are higher than the monthly record. Map from polarwx.com.
