This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Wow, I never knew that.
Two cats on a plush white rug. One small gray and white one looks up at the camera plaintively with one paw raised. The other, large, black, and fluffy, is reaching up with a paw and claws fully extended, a look of pure pitiful desperation in his eyes.
These poor STARVÈD babies suffering from the lack of second breakfast while mother viciously ignores them to play on her phone. A cruel, cruel mother indeed to need such reminding as her babies WASTE AWAY. 🤣
John Cassavetes guest stars as a ruthless music orchestra conductor who murders a gifted pianist with whom he is having an affair. Lt. Columbo is on the case in the episode “ÉTUDE IN BLACK” (1972) dir. Nicholas Colasanto with co-stars Peter Falk, Bythe Danner and Myrna Loy

Ok, Gayatri C. Spivak, ok ok ok ok

F/X (1986) Dir. Robert Mandel — Why this fun, slick thriller has faded from memory is beyond me. A movie-effects wizard is hired to fake a hit… then framed for a real murder. Smart, twisty, and engaging as hell. It's powered by a terrific turn from Bryan Brown and solid supporting cast. A lost gem🎞️📽️
Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.
Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.
Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Image of a paragraph of prose on a printed page: “A note on the author's body: shortly after I began writing this essay, the muscles on my shoulders and back went into spasm. Referring this pain to other matters (excessive working out, an affair of the heart) than the work on which it continually interrupted my progress, I consulted physical and psychological therapists. Only when the former at last pronounced that a rib was out of place (which may have been what the latter was getting at when he diagnosed, on the insurance form, a personality disorder), was I willing to entertain the possibility that I had become, in relation to my own writing, an improbably pat case of hysteria. Now that a practiced hand has put the fugitive rib back into its cage, my spine tingles to have borne out my assumption of that "nonrecognition" which evidently also obtains between the somatics of writing and what is written about. I am less pleased (though still thrilled) to understand that, on the same assumption, what dumbfounds me also lays the foundation for my dumbness: too stupid to utter what has already been said in the interaction between body and text, and in the traces of that interaction within body or text; and too mute to do more than designate the crucial task of identifying in this writing the equivocal places where "sensation" has gone, not to say love.”
No one reads D. A. Miller’s

Now glueing myself to election coverage. 🍺📺
An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.
Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.
I find it v difficult to put into words how honored and lucky i feel to have edited this issue on feminist historical methods, to have had so many important pieces of writing and thinking entrusted to me over these last few years. 1/
