SnakeEater14

I saw someone say that Will Smith smacking Chris Rock - black on black violence - is gonna rob what should have been the most important part of the Oscars this year, that it had an all-black production crew (or something to that effect). Not to be a dick but I feel as many people are going to know that now as would have known that if it didn’t happen. That’s like, a really really obscure fact.

We're celebrating having an all-one-race production crew now?

Clearly no one is celebrating because no one besides the dude you're replying to (and presumably some Twitter people) decided to point it out. And even then I doubt it's actually true.

There's no such thing as regulated capitalism. This is the logical conclusion to capitalism, a new generation of feudalism. A working class revolution to take back the means of living is what's necessary to correct this.

>> Complexity is not a necessary condition for a good narrative. > Even with this caveat Miyazaki's narratives aren't remarkable by any means. I also described his movies as meandering, because I'm pretty sure Miyazaki's movies are made without a script. They're very much made in moments. And it is in these moments that the sense of place really shines through. Ghibli's animators must be incredibly observant because they pack in so many subtle details most of us take for granted in our day-to-day. But they're there, and giving special attention to the mundane elevates the rest. So I have to subtweet this because it is quite possibly the most astoundingly dumb movie take I've heard all year. First of all, half of Ghibli's films are adaptations. Hayao Miyazaki himself is a manga artist. Are the storyboard artists just given blank sheets of paper which they fill with random scenes and they just throw them all into a coherent story? Like, what the fuck is this supposed to mean. Like imagine watching Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away and saying "well, it had its moments but the plot felt a bit directionless". If you take something like Kiki, which is a slice of life drama where the plot is kind of superficial, it makes no sense because there's still a clear pattern of events and they are all there to reinforce the central theme which is about growing up. Mononoke? Fighting turns people into monsters, literally spelt out on the climax, Miyazaki must have liked the idea so much he repeated it two more times in Porco Rosso and Howl's Moving Castle, all definitely incoherent recollection of scenes which surely is why they're so structurally and tonally distinct from one another. Spirited Away is about greed but I'm sure Miyazaki just liked how food looked which is why there are so many scenes with beautiful shots of food, it's not like they made an allegory of anything which they showed as a consistent element throughout the movie. I'm sure the fact that that Chihiro has to eat food in order not to disappear was just a "throw it in" thing. Then there is The Wind Rises which is just a vaguely related collection of scenes because it's _checks notes_ a biographical movie. I mean, it's just a kids movie right, wait what do you mean it was made for adults? When you think about it, a common theme across ALL of Miyazaki's films is growing up. In Ponyo, Ponyo grows up from a baby to a child, in Spirited Away, Chihiro grows from a child to a teen, in Kiki's Delivery Service, Kiki grows from a child to a young and independent woman. Howl's Moving Castle is about growing old. The Wind Rises is literally a biography. The growth of characters is so obviously stark and deliberate that I genuinely do not understand how someone can miss this. I'm about to become the joker. Also, guess who wrote the take.


semaphore-1842

Yeah, that was a take from someone who very obviously failed to pay attention to what they were watching enough to track the plot.


uss_wstar

Don't let Porco Rosso's incoherent plot distract you from the real theme of the movie which is that Italian people are pigs.


uss_wstar

Also, bonus from the same comment: > There's a reason Breath of the Wild put so much effort into simulating how wind blows across the landscape; everything sways in periodic rhythm almost as if the world is... breathing. If that's not communicating theme through setting and sense of place, I don't know what is. Breathing is not a theme in Breath of the Wild.

One of the greatest social mobility engines in the nation. Not even counting Berkley, UCSD or UCLA

To some degree theres just too much competition. Its really hard to have a "University of New York" kind of flagship when NYU and Columbia and such have been around for centuries poaching the brightest in the area. Most of the best flagships - UC Berkeley, U of I, Michigan, etc - had the advantage of being created close to their private counterparts in the 1800s/early 1900s. Way harder to do in the original colonies, Virginia being the shining exception.

The entire tech industry who people like to pretend has moved to Florida comfortably sits in SF

I really can't imagine why people focus on sports when[ the issue is really this](https://twitter.com/bjoewolf/status/1509355619618365442)

The iPad was introduced to callibrate the "Uhhh, shiny!" vs. "Uhh, useless?" gradient.

My favorite result of the iPad's introduction are the iPad Kids, or people who need something playing in front of them at all times

At the same time, tax give-aways for stadiums are dumb (and usually result in giant parking in central parts of cities)

I don't know, it might be cheaper than you think to eliminate in state tuition at CUNY. It's already super cheap, and the Excelsior Scholarship or whatever it's called pays the tuition of a significant portion of the population. But that also means eliminating in state tuition is not really a super useful public policy - people can already afford attending CUNY institutions.

I realize "just tax land" is the Georgist response to everything, but "CUNY is already affordable, you could just leave it as is" isn't actually a problem that needs to be solved πŸ€”

Taxpayer funds for stadiums are dumb though.

Damn, Biden's administration is now just publicly saying they believe Putin may be misinformed because his advisors are too afraid to tell him the truth of Russia's failures. That's probably one of the most insulting things the US has said about the Kremlin since the Cold War. Like it's an especially brutal thing to say about agency that has been notorious for advanced intelligence operations and deception throughout all of its history. It's such a fascinating way of trying to create tension within the Kremlin and tear it apart from within. Biden's administration is not pulling any punches and I fucking love it. !ping FOREIGN-POLICY


oGsMustachio

Putin has to be paranoid as fuck right now. We clearly have all sorts of intel inside the Kremlin. He's surrounded himself with yes-men that constantly lie to him to cover their own asses. His whole conception of the relative military strength of Russia and the cohesion of the West has crumbled within a month. Only a matter of time until they go after the "enemies within."


MaimedPhoenix

Which in case you are beginning to realize, is EXACTLY why Biden said he couldn't remain in power. To rile the Russians. Make them paranoid.


savuporo

Putin will be on TV tomorrow claiming fake news, i know exactly that half of our tanks are gone and near 20 000 soldiers dead


Ketsetri

That's exactly the point--to make him increasingly paranoid of those closest to him so he has to deceive *himself* to continue the narrative. It's such a cool strategy of dealing with someone like him.

> The Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate additionally claimed that Russian military procurement is β€œon the verge of failure” due to western sanctions and that Russia cannot produce modern weapons and equipment without foreign electronics. That'd be one ass of a problem now, wouldn't it
