hey hey hey you remember ratatouille? that movie was fuckin wild. in the first 20m a woman points a shotgun at the protagonist and tries to shoot him multiple times, brings down the roof of her own house, and subsequently gasses it. then the rat goes to paris and meets the bastard son of a dead chef and almost dies. again. several times. many times! almost gets locked in an oven. and then drowned. then some shit happens and he controls the bastard son by pulling on his hair. also the bastard chef gets drunk at least once. it’s explicit too like the scheming sous chef brings this 18 y/o or whatever into his office and gets him drunk because he wants the kid to admit that he’s a successful chef because of a tiny hair-pulling rat puppeteer who lives in his hat. and all throughout it the rat is grappling with the ethical conflict of whether stealing is right, and how to reconcile the wasted excesses of capitalism with his belief in private property and self-earned worth, especially when he comes from an impoverished background where stealing was necessary. and the underlying motif is how art isn’t an exclusive club, and how making art accessible to everyone is critical to the expansion and success of art itself, and the importance of honesty in relationships. also the human protagonist’s name is linguini
hope he gets run over by a tesla while jaywalking due to his efforts to erode non-automotive infrastructure in america
It started back in 2014, when Musk pulled his five young sons out of one
of Los Angeles’ most prestigious private schools for gifted children.
Hiring one of his sons’ teachers, the CEO founded Ad Astra to “exceed
traditional school metrics on all relevant subject matter through unique
project-based learning experiences,”
…
Ad Astra students undertake challenging technical projects, trade using
their own currency, and can opt out of subjects they don’t enjoy.
Children from 7 to 14 years old work together in teams, with few formal
assessments and no grades handed out.
fuck you, this is a great idea for a model of primary school education
im sick of people specifically demonizing musk just because he’s a celebrity CEO with wild side projects when there are countless other CEOs who deserve the negative attention Musk solely gets. Other CEOs who build a career out of swooping into a company, fleecing it of money to bolster his own salary, funding that self promotion by cutting corners and laying people off, back patting himself for a job well done, then leaving the company to flounder with an enormous golden parachute onto the next company.
i sincerely don’t understand the sole hyperfixation on Musk other than, the headlines he garners for space shit and that he took Grimes away from her principled fans and the way he resists unionization of the gigafactory. lol
all i hear is yap yap yap STEM STEM STEM like every other useful idiot who doesn’t realize that these guys are doing this to flood the job market
you can come back to the big boys’ table when you’ve read plato on pedagogy. the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning
wlw tumblr hypes up the most mediocre wlw celebs/authors/poets/etc and i get that a lot of this stems largely from just being happy enough at getting representation but y’all should love yourselves more and value quality and do some research. sappho isn’t the only gay female poet, hayley kiyoko isn’t the only gay female singer, kristen stewart isn’t the only gay female actress, carol isn’t the only lesbian/wlw movie. come on ladies!
