There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
This happens infuriatingly often in animation period, so I don't mean to let them off the hook, but this is also a good indication of Pixar's deep enmeshment in tech culture - you could still refer to SF as 'the most liberal-leaning city in the country' in 2018 and mean it, but you can't now
Does it utterly piss me off that I (and many people like me) left my specific “how can we know how brains very unlike ours perceive the world?” field because no one wanted to pay us to investigate that? Yep.
Am I even angrier about it watching people debate whether LLMs are sentient? OH FUCK YES.
Markwayne Mullin was caught lying on the record about the former CDC Director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by his Republican colleagues in the Senate chamber in September. He’s not honest or competent, and anyone who respects him is a fool.

Me: "Dick Van Dyke's wife is 46 years younger than him."
Ken Jennings: "thank you for that, but we we're hoping for a fun fact about you."
a strong belief i formulated roughly 35 years ago is that the amish soft pretzel place is the best non-philly style soft pretzel in the city, possibly the world
I knew it’d be dumber than hell but I was not prepared for something as funny as “Freedom Fights 250 — The White House”

Just heard from a friend in Tehran who says reality is even worse than the pictures. When they hit the depot in Aghdasiyeh, he could hear and feel it from 15km away.
He says if he could reach internet he’d say: “today is the day the world shall end, as the scripture has foretold,” he says.
I have no idea how "dark" the storyline in question was but in the Toy Story franchise they had an extended scene of someone's childhood objects that have been hugely personified nearly immolated to death.
Pixar has had movies subjects like: Death & grieving. Depression, anxiety & emotional regulation. Family trauma. Childhood ending. The collapse of reality as you knew it. And suddenly just the existence of LGBTQ+ people in a movie is too hard for kids to deal with? Ok.
Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.
“It was devastating to learn, right from the start, that women were open targets for disrespect and harassment –– even at a world-renowned workplace in the most liberal-leaning city in the country. I was likewise told to steer clear of a particularly chauvinistic male lead in my department.”
Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

Ars Technica: Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials
RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

Was THE BRIDE! "good"? Do not ask me such banal questions. Did it have a scene where Frankenstein and The Bride dance maniacally and chew on wine glasses to "Puttin' On the Ritz"? Yes the fuck it did
how on earth did Vance log 131 innings in the 2011 rotation
Read @adamserwer.bsky.social on elite impunity. IMO this is the biggest issue in US politics, the one that underlies all others. It gets too little discussion, because discourse is so heavily governed by precisely the elites who favor the impunity, but beneath the surface, pressure is building.
just found out we’ve directly paid march rent for just shy of 130 families through the mutual aid funds that we’ve been raising through the salon ♥️ this is in addition to what we’ve been doing through venmo and whatnot. we ran a separate fundraiser through chuffed that was very successful
