I liked Guillermos take on Pinnochio.

For the Blue Fairy its a mixture of the Fae and a Biblical accurate angel who gives life to a wooden figure that she name Pinnochio since he was made from pine wood.

This version of Pinnochio is based on a toddler who knows nothing about the dangers and "common sense" of the world. So he easily falls into dangerous situations and blindly falls for the manipulations told from adults.

He also includes Death who is sister to the Blue Fairy who says he is immortal and each time he would have died he stays in the underworld with her a little longer every time before he goes back. I like this because its her way of showing Pinnochio to not take life for granted. Since he is immortal he doesn't appreciate the life he wasn't suppose to have and doesn't realize that being immortal is really a curse instead of a blessing.

At the end when they escape fron the whale/dogfish he dies again but his father is left drowning. He pleads to go back to save him but she says if he goes back so soon he would lose his immortality and be mortal. He says ok and saves him at the cost of his life.

The Blue Fairy comes again and says she only wanted to give joy by making Pinnochio alive to which he says it was joy that came with great sorrow now that he is gone. The Cricket tells her to bring him back alive since she promised him a wish if he made Pinnochio a good boy and him saving his father at the cost of his life shows he was. To which she agrees and bring him back not as real boy but as the living wooden figure he was.

Guillermos take on this scene was to show he didnt have to be a human to be a real good boy. To be human you just have to be a good person not actually a human. Since he shows characters who were humans but they were the actual inhuman monsters in this story.

The history of corporate propaganda.

When public services are affordable and convenient, people will always choose those resources. They are not supposed to be a capitalistic profit-seeking initiative, they are developed for the benefit of the people, for a better life, just as government resources should be used. (tweet)

TIL that airplane pilots would announce that Jonas Salk was on board and passengers would burst into applause. Hotels routinely would upgrade him into their penthouse suites.

You know Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister of Japan who was shot dead on Friday??

Turns out the shooter did it because Abe had ties to a religious movement that bankrupted and ruined his family, because his mother was a follower who donated copious amounts of cash to the church

AND THE CHURCH?? IT WAS THE UNIFICATION CHURCH!! the church I was raised in, forced to attend until the day I moved out. I spent my whole youth despising the church and just longing for the day I was independent enough to cut ties with them forever. It was dreadful.

I’m so shocked, Jesus fucking Christ. Media outlets are still being somewhat quiet on the issue, and aren’t naming the Moonie movement quite yet - but if you read all the testimony it all points to being them

Guess what happens when the Government has the power to make decisions about people's pregnancy?

This is what happens when *choice* isnt a guarantee anymore.
