Also realized how much The Boy and the Heron is a follow up to TWR. Mahito's quest is realizing great men deluded themselves into building a world that burns and feeds on children and produces fascism. the building blocks made of gravestones and the end location also a nod to the Valery poem.

we're doing the jimmy neutron sunscreen episode over here

The smoke could keep the temperatures down slightly, because it blocks the sunlight, National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki told Hell Gate. "These forecast highs could be cooler than we're currently forecasting," Ciemnecki said. "I think a lot of that will depend on how much smoke we actually see."

In August if I survive the most stressful month of my life moving and finish The Sopranos I might write about generational losses of faith, not in the religious sense but in the belief that your discomfort and sacrifice at work and school and the gym and the practice room will be rewarded in the future. That eating healthy will let you live longer, that going into debt for a degree will mean a high paying job. But that might just be reinventing absurdism because NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

since closely reading one in january it's become so apparent that ign's editorials are on an ideological streak at odds with it's own reporting and criticism. from january: autumn-wright.com/if-you-ask-n...

This article was never about playing games before definitively deciding if they are good or bad. The only legitimate definitive position under this worldview is a positive opinion. Here, we’re getting excited about games. All of them. Because Geoff Keighley told us he thinks it's good. Because it's from a Call of Duty dev. Because the marketing said they're making a "new breed of shooter" and we really believe them. Upholding feelings—especially feelings as pretextual as fun and excitement—is not the work of a critic. Nor is upholding particular feelings IGN's work as a publisher of reporting and criticism. “If we’re not getting excited about games, what are we even doing here?” is not an argument. It is pure ideology.

the morbid curiosity is strong….does the ai know about writing about the thing by writing about the other thing….

jay has always been a writer who, in the midst of inferno, is not inferno. a mediascape that doesn't make space for this kind of authenticity is failed.

I was willing to try to mold that authenticity into something readable. That is, on some level, the job. I opened the document. The first comment was that some readers might not know the term queer at all. I closed the document and politely emailed apologizing for not being able to go forward with the piece.

alt text boxes like this might be one of the best features from cohost I forgot about

screenshot of above linked blog on wayback machine.cohost, alt text box is located where your cursor hovers of the image and contains the text: Saeko and Mia were about to kiss after an argument that wasn't really resoved, but heard footsteps. Saeko begins to walk away since Miwa has been uncomfortable being visible around strangers, but in a move mirroring her personal growth elsehwere she stops Saeko and kisses her as the stranger walks by. The panels are vertical rectangles each getting bigger as if the sound of footsteps is growing louder punctuating each moment of the scene

wife with TB comes from the titular novel BUT it is also the incurable, romanticized consumptive illness that reduces someone into an idealized victorian beauty/nothing. it's a Good Choice.

Jiro Horikoshi was an actual man but he did not have a wife who suffered from tuberculosis, and he did not smoke. ... Miyazaki has himself stated that Naoko – Jiro Horikoshi's fictitious wife was lifted from the woman Setsuko in the Hori Tatsuo novel The Wind has Risen"

Truly a masterful design. Not a single one returned. There was nothing to return to. ......meanwhile he gets a reception like this (I skimmed past that this was from a tobacco control group and thought it was from some pro lobby cus how did they not Get It) www.theguardian.com/world/2013/a...

Despite Miyazaki's attention to historical detail, the physicians were particularly unhappy about a scene in which the lead character smokes as he holds the hand of his bedridden wife, who is suffering from tuberculosis.

"Why did smoking have to be included in a scene where the objective is to depict the couple's relationship, especially the woman's state of mind?" the letter said. "There must have been another way to express that."
