We got 2 special anniversaries happening today. It's the 10th anniversary of one of Pixar's best movies, Inside Out, and the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth, the rare moment in history when the US came to its senses and treated slavery and racism like the horrible unamerican crimes that they are.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Today's reading, because Ken is a Moomin sicko, is Moomins and the Great Flood. This year just happens to be its 80th anniversary and the book itself is somewhat a creation myth for such a storied series. Accompanied by watercolor art, it is a perilous journey through an odd world.

Tykkäätkö pelotella lapsia metsässä? Arvosteluuni nimittäin päätyi RÖLLI – HIRMUISIA KERTOMUKSIA -niminen lasten fantasiaelokuva vuodelta 1991. Kyseessä oli kaikkien rakastaman peikon ensimmäinen seikkailu valkokankaalla. Ja elokuvana ihan okei teos. Arvostelu: kuvakarju.fanlink.tv/rolli

Today I would like to ask you: what was your first experience of horror in children's media? Mine is some children's book about a fot that has loads of tails that is impossible to google. Or the Groke in the Moomin cartoon.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred. Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love. May the world change for the better, with peace for all.

Samurai Jack is a classic. And it's fueled by its rich images -- the backgrounds, animation and visual storytelling. Genndy Tartakovsky was sick of dialogue. He wanted to take a risk on a visual series, and Cartoon Network supported it. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-visual...

Satoshi Kon was a master filmmaker -- and a master storyboarder. His detailed sketches were blueprints for his movies. Take Millennium Actress. He spent nine months boarding it alone, on a quest to make a great film with a small budget. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-satosh...

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are. After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

The reason why most apologies online fail is because, to properly apologize, one must first feel sorry. The ones where people are sorry tend to go over well... and are thus forgotten. The inauthenticity stands out.
