The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.

Frog got a ladder. He put the box up on a high shelf. “There,” said Frog. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can climb the ladder and take the box down from the shelf and cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.

Piracy will remain inevitable for the foreseeable future because we do not have adequately robust digital archival technology. Every storage device on earth slowly fails/rots.

no, you're wrong. using one of these books is infinitely preferable to someone using nothing but a reused password 9,000 times. they're especially good for older people who don't go out much. if your book is at risk in your home, you have bigger problems than "they're going to steal my amazon login"

In Australia, the government will allow tax-deductible donations to charities supporting the IDF and illegal settlements in the West Bank.
But donations to local journalism are not permitted the same status.

I love our little wooden Christmas crib. Even if it all bullshit and a northern hemisphere pagan winter thing that is just bizarre in this southern hemisphere summer heat and Jesus was actually born in August or whatever. Who cares it's fun.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy.
Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.
