‘Rats.’ This language has a history. Nazis called Jews ‘rats.’ Hutu leaders called Tutsis ‘cockroaches.’ Now GOP Senators use the same dehumanizing language about NYC voters. NAME IT. This isn’t just hate, it’s groundwork for authoritarian violence.

Amazing. Ann Telnaes just won a Pulitzer Prize for her work at The Washington Post --- which she resigned from after they refused to run this cartoon.

Flow was made in Blender and cost only $3.7 million -- but it defeated Hollywood at the Oscars.

This is a huge moment for its team. It's just as huge for European animation, and the ecosystem that nurtured Flow, Robot Dreams and so many other films: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/flow-takes...

This harkens back to when Aaron McGruder's #TheBoondocks was censored for criticizing Pres. George W. Bush in the lead up to the Iraq War. One of the first places to detect the broader chilling of speech & press is in the satire of cartoons and comics.

Great game designers update their rules to suit the players and the world the players live in. Many games are also inherently political, especially when they simulate life. #gamedesign #DnD #seriousgames #species www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/a...
Dungeons & Dragons Rolls the Dice With New Rules About Identity
The role-playing game replaced “race” with “species” and divorced several character traits from biological identity. Some longtime players are upset (as is Elon Musk).
