If you took a billionaire's money away, they would just earn it back again. Cream rises to the top.

I'm so confident about this, I think we should prove it by taking all the billionaires' money away.

These people are psychopaths who have absolutely no idea of empathy or simply do not care about people. β€œAsk a computer to make you feel better” is about as far as they can get. Fuck AI, fuck Microsoft, fuck billionaires.

We were told digital media would replace books and we were told video games would replace books and we were told streaming video would replace books and people are still buying and reading books.

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

A cartoon drawing of a man behind a desk. Facing him is an enormous, gear-filled robot drawn in glorious Industrial Age style. On the man's desk are papers reading "Production / Costs / Wages / Output."

The moment when Nausicaa is flying on her glider next to a gargantuan cargo plane and she locks eyes with a passenger about her age just as the plane slams into the ground in a ball of fire is one of the most visceral moments in cinema ghibli does not fuck around

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

reading this new york times article, it occurs to me for the hundredth time that so much of the current upheaval is at root about aging parents who refuse to accept they've hurt and tormented their children into rejecting them as people

A full-body pinup illustration of an elf girl. She's on a burnt orange background, surrounded in golden filigree that has transformed her into a candelabra. Balanced on her head are three melted candles. Her eyes are closed, a leg daintily lifted as she demurely lowers her gaze. 🎨✨

Dat eindeloze academische gemekker over wie en wat je wel of niet β€˜fascistisch’ mag noemen.
Het komt hier op neer:
Fascisme is dat wat je pas β€˜fascisme’ mag noemen als de slachtoffers gedeporteerd, verdwenen of begraven zijn.
Da’s mij te laat.
