To me, Ghibli works are about showing us that the world is beautiful and there is much to love *even with* the darkness that people are forced to confront in it, and I feel like there's a lot of media that wants to use those aesthetics but avoid the substance of the work.
i don't know what that means ok 🥲

watchin' ponyo and thinking about rockadoodle
84% of Americans support the Endangered Species Act - so why are Members of Congress bowing to the minority of special interest groups to destroy it?
American values are under attack. H.R. 1897 is scheduled to be voted on by the end of tomorrow. The ESA has saved 99% of listed species from extinction, but if H.R. 1897 passes, your favorite animals could be gone forever.

Why is it that the most vocal cheerleaders of generative A.I. are always the hackiest motherfreakers around? You expect studio executives to say things like “it’s going to revolutionize content,” and “from a bottom-line standpoint it’s inevitable,” and “I’ve finally found an instrument as cold and empty as myself,” but you’d hope that an artist would have more self-respect.
of course you CAN use AI to "write" your book but you run the risk of a lethally derisive colson whitehead materializing in your office to call you a hacky motherfreaker
