i think the key difference between george lucasβs star wars and disneyβs star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because thatβs how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation canβt have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when youβre a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you canβt take sides. you canβt decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.
I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and itβs finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.
#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40βs adventure serials#but disney are making a βstar wars filmβ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)
Look, itβs a weird hill to die on, especially when I donβt really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.
Media for children used to be scary and thatβs important.
βSince it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.β β C.S. Lewis
"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."

Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesnβt care which VPN you use, only that itβs still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows βsurveillance softwareβ.
Two things back that up:
Thereβs no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Appleβs advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Androidβs works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then thereβs activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: βItβs impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].β Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
"The sculpture in the image is βDas Schicksalβ (Fate), created in 1905 by Hugo Lederer. The sculpture portrays fate as a ruthless woman dragging two vulnerable bodies by their hair.
The work is currently located in Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, Germany."

we go both ways here
The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.
It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.
Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.
So I finally watched Project Hail Mary and please forgive me friends when I say I didn't love it...

The computer used to do something very basic & helpful and now it doesn't. I'm gonna complain
The computer used to do something very basic & helpful and now it doesn't. I'm gonna complain.
That one tumblr post about supine vs prone constantly haunts me. Iβll be reading a fic thatβs like:
[character a] pushes [character b] onto his back, then straddles his prone body
meanwhile Iβm reading like: heβs not lying on his pronis, heβs lying on his s(u)pineβ¦
on my supine, straight up jorkin it, and by it let's just say haha my pronis
Why do they even make apps for ADHD. You want me to use my 24/7 handheld immediate distraction device? To manage my 'gets distracted too easily' disorder? Ooooh we developed the perfect tool for managing your anemia. Its hosted in Dracula's castle. π
Picked up my phone to consult my task list for today and now I'm reblogging this instead, case in point
I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.
It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.
She also royally screwed over a domestic abuse charity in Edinburgh purely because the woman running it was trans and was ensuring equality for all staff, but when one of the staff got aggressive about knowing what was in a non-binary person's knickers (if you're asking "what are you *really*", that's what you're doing), it all kicked off. According to staff who worked there at the time, they were subject to harassment and threats by the affiliates of that woman.
Don't believe her when she says she cares about welfare of survivors of abuse. She brought to bear her wrath against that charity, doing unimaginable damage and causing fear and distress for the employees as well. She attacked Amnesty International and has threatened them as well.
She's also gone after neurodivergent people and ace folk as well, not to mention so many of her associates are now known affiliates of right-wing organisations. When you get this toxic in so many directions already, the sky is the limit for how bad it could get.
