Cool. How much time and money is the production team getting?
Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad have all signed deals to earn over $60 MILLION each to return for ‘Frozen 3’ and ‘Frozen 4’, The Wrap reports.
It is one of the biggest deals in animation history.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

tbh a lot of the LLM marketing makes more sense if you think about them as a technology developed and hyped by people taught to read this way, and who therefore do genuinely struggle to read or write at their email jobs

Mamdani, correctly, refuses to say that any nation has a right to exist. As TNC said, nations don't exist by "right". They exist by power. The US has no right to exist. People in the US have rights.

Some conservatives can appear to be good, kind, reasonable people.
So long as you are in the category of human beings that they consider to be people.
But their empathy and consideration is always conditional, and that's not something you can logically debate someone out of.

I've turned down crypto investment, because that shit is disgusting. I know where that money comes from, and what was involved in taking it. So I said no. Decent people say no.
Refusing to say no to collabs and investment from morally reprehensible people and orgs makes you complicit.

I've seen a lot of people saying "it's about brand visibility" or "Fortnite collabs with everyone."
As a business owner, that's bullshit. Literally everything you publicize and take money from is a moral decision. I've walked away from ad deals because I didn't approve of the company offering them.

Epic Games have collaborated with a lot of major franchises with Fortnite and that's not set too change anytime soon as leakers have revealed that the Harry Potter franchises is apparently coming to the popular game. The Harry Potter…

For those unfamiliar with the Halo games, the Flood is a parasitic alien lifeform so bad that superweapons known as Halos were built as a last resort to kill all sentient life in the galaxy in an effort to stop them. And the official DHS page is memeing about it while referring to immigrants. Vile.

If you know me well, you know the Golden Age illustrators are among the most foundational of my influences, and of these, Edmund Dulac is perhaps among the top three strongest. One of my artistic heroes for all time. 🥲💙
Happy birthday, Edmund Dulac!

🎉Happy Birthday to Edmund Dulac, who was born on this day 1882!
A favorite of the Golden Age of Illustration, Dulac was one of the few artists with technical skill to rival the likes of Arthur Rackham and Beatrix Potter. His twilight soaked imagery is dreamlike and otherworldly.🧵

I had my little theory that the war on porn games/art/writing was, in part, to try to make AI scraping easier, but now I can add "it was astroturfing to take out the ethical, artisanal, actually artistic competition."
This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
