I've discussed ZOOTOPIA many times with people who like it but find themselves uneasy about the implied racial allegory of predator and prey animals etc., and I continue to tell them that's the wrong lens – it's not a metaphor, it's FURRY ROLEPLAY.

Gonna say this out loud so none of you ever have this idiotic of a thought:
Ambiguous endings exist to force you to engage with the work thematically instead of literally. The ending is usually obvious if you interpret it through the lens of “what is the book trying to say beyond the plot”

Was reading this, fully hooked and immersed into the sheer horror, while constantly thinking 'Wait, why is this so good?! Who did this?'
Until I got to the end and saw it was Anand RK, with lettering by @adityab.net and then it just made total sense lmfao.

I joked about this on the other site, but as AI-generated images come closer to looking like "real" photos, I think it's essential people read Susan Sontag's On Photography. It is a book sceptical of the photo as a 1:1 representation of a happening (and more), and is essential to this conversation.

One of my favourite things about attending IFFI (film festival) was the way people treated a Jafar Panahi movie like it was the latest Mission Impossible – the queue reached outside the venue, fights broke out over getting in, they had to hold a second screening because people complained.

After six years of constant use, I thought my Kobo Libra H2O had finally died, but no, turned out the battery had gone to zero (for the 2nd or 3rd time *ever*) without my realising it. It's fine now, and working perfectly.
