Yeah, telling the Tired, Poor and Huddled masses to go fuck themselves isn’t ok.

Yeah, but I hear it also needs sunlight

It’s just that Scottish weather is so shit, the grass doesn’t grow there

I mean, Ariel had bottom magic, no surgery needed, right?

no one of us can be free until everybody is free

Maya Angelou, from memory, so assume a paraphrase.

Here’s a secret though: Russia can simply go home. Just say they’ll withdraw to the pre-2014 borders and I will totally guarantee Ukraine will sign a peace agreement.

Ukraine isn’t the one escalating, and they’re not the one being unreasonable. Russia is.

I have a completely different view on this.

I HATE when we take a “camera perspective” instead of an “eye perspective”. I don’t like exaggerated contrast, because that’s what cameras do, not what eyes do. The world doesn’t look like that, unless you view it through a camera. For the same reason, I can’t stand lens-flares and I’m really not a fan of focus-shifts unless they’re natural. I don’t like abberation, because my eyes don’t do that. Motion blur is even worse, and having it absolutely minimized is preferable. It’s especially bad when first-person videogames do it, and then add film-grain on top. I don’t understand why films are still mostly shot at 24fps, I love the rare few films that are shown at 60fps. It’s basically the only redeeming feature of the new Avatar movie.

I don’t want to see someone work a camera, I want to see the scene. That doesn’t mean I like grey, because the world has a TON of colour, but it also doesn’t mean I like the unrealistically high contrasts.
