I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

Speaking as a Birmingham native, Bessemer ain’t nothing but black folks — and I find it oh so interesting that black neighborhoods are where they keep shoving all these data centers

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 22h

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

There was a time when social media had some positive qualities. Now, not so much.

Trump was never religious, and he's getting scared because he knows he doesn't have much time left. The concept that morality doesn't exist without religious doctrine/fear of eternal punishment is not only stupid, it's just plain wrong, and only sociopaths would say it with any sincerity.

Fun Portland fact: We have more strip clubs per capita than any city in the United States because in 1987, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that stripping is free speech and protected under the First Amendment. There's one strip club for every 11,000 people. I know where the troops are REALLY deployed
