reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Sometimes, irritating people/ideas/stuff pop up on my various feeds, and I need to remind myself that talking about it just amplifies it.
Also honestly, engaging with it, even if to dunk on it is probably, worse for my mental health than moving on tbh.

Classic Polish animation is wild, one-of-a-kind stuff. And hundreds of these films are streaming for free in restored quality.

I actually think there is a lot to like about the one on the left, and how much simpler it is. Some of the tangents are even fairly visually pleasing.
I just can't stand tutorials like this that say there is a definite right and wrong way of doing things, when art is far more nuanced than that.
