Also 7S specifically could greatly improve efficiency just by actually providing the text to their translators instead of… having them buy it themselves. But nah something something AI
Et pourtant vraiment *tout le monde* s'en fichait donc mon petit film avait l'air bien bête ahah - les gens étaient très intéressés par les glaces en revanche, j'ai gagné en popularité.
(80 euros et une quinzaine de cartes de crédits, la police en voulait pas donc je les ai redonné à la banque..)
Un jour j'ai trouvé 80 euros par terre au milieu de nul part et j'ai invité tous mes collègues à manger des glaces - par pure envie mais aussi parce que j'avais peur qu'une mafia invisible me snipe, le seul moyen de plus y penser c'était de tout dépenser

""I am not responsible", says the kapo. "I am not responsible", says the officer. "I am not responsible". Who is responsible then?"
Alain Resnais's Night and Fog premiered 70 years ago: "We pretend it was all confined to one country, one point in time. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us, and a deaf ear to the never-ending cries."
My favorite Darwin Incident story is that the library I used to work at bought the manga and it was the only time in 300 years we actually got complaints about a book, people gave us the full thumb down because it was too bad
There's an amazing film called Kumiko the Treasure Hunter where the main character digs up a mysterious VHS tape of Fargo in a cave and tries to decipher it at home - it ends up so broken that she just has to go to a supermarket to buy the DVD. It's the same film! But the VHS was magical.
Someday I'll have to write a whole thing about the appeal of uncovering a mystery vs learning something in a straightforward manner. When I posted something on tumblr eons ago it would always do better if someone removed the source or added that it was from "an old manuscript" (for 1970s art!)
I remember fighting a famous science youtuber about this (10 years ago!) when he declared we needed to remove any language class in school because google translated existed. He was a math teacher and thought there should be more math because it's "useful". I did not mention calculators.

Yaaay happy birthday!!
It's hard for me to watch this and not think that Hosoda's films haven't been the same since they've stopped working together. I found in Kokuho the same subtlety, the same bittersweet moments that I saw in Wolf Children.
Regardless, I'm happy that Okudera found such success here. She deserves it.
Just watched Kokuho by
Lee Sang-il - simply one of the best films of the past twenty years. Unbelievably gorgeous, and beautifully written. Satoko Okudera's script shines like no other. Please go watch it if you can!
It's already quite lucky when what someone has been looking for has been cataloged! I've seen entire *buildings* of archives that hadn't been described yet. I get a bit worried when history students think we've digitized everything and write stuff like "there's no available info on so and so".
Most pictures online fail to capture the level of detail Merian would put into each illustration, they're truly breathtaking:
Today I'm cataloging a book by Maria Sibylla Merian, an entomologist and genius scientific illustrator:
