This is good and bad.

The original AA MIlne books are masterpieces, although it destroyed the life of Christopher Robin who was Milne's actual son.

I'd recommend them for small children. The books are meant to be read to the children, not read by the children.

Milne produced later books as his child grew up, by they are scarcely as masterful.

Their old stuff is still awesome but I personally prefer WB's Looney Tunes.


I also liked Tex Avery and Merry Melodies. Disney and Hannah Barbara were beneath those cartoons. I liked the Disney feature films, especially during Walt's time, but their animated shorts always seemed too contrite, like they were made to stroke the egos of the animators than tell a short humorous story. Often the Animators were part of the animation. Or the shorts were made as an advertisement for their brand between feature films. A Donald Duck short, with Donald Duck being Donald Duck, doing Donald Duck shit, talking like Donald Duck. But then after it was over, it was like "what just happened?" Then the next one would be Goofy and Pluto, no real story, just a showcase. Then after Walt, they tried to hard to connect with the times in the 80's and 90's. Good cartoons shouldn't be dated. I mean Tom and Jerry are set in the 40's and 50's but feel like they could have been animated anytime. But Scrooge McDuck wearing board shorts, and dancing to hiphop has the late 80's written in every cell.

I'm an archivist. I'm slowly collecting everything from 1970 and before.

1970 is when it went full commercial. The original Looney Toons shorts were shorts shown before the main feature. They were not directed for television but for movie goers. Some of the stuff that we saw as kids on television, my grandparents saw when they were young adults in a theater.

There was some great artistry and clever story telling. I need to see if I have collected them all - I go through some lengths getting high quality copies. One thing is that current compression technologies are NOT adapted for hand drawn cartoons and that's becoming a thing of the past anyhow.

I'd say from the mid 1960's onward, it's been a clear progression of manipulation and formula but I'd say Bambi was a very manipulative film. The book apparently is quite a bit different, where the hunters are just regarded as a sort of god. One of the subplots of the book is one fawn is saved by a hunter after he kills the mother. He raises the fawn to an adult and releases it to the wild when it reached adult hood. This deer doesn't distinguish between different men and approaches one, only to be immediately killed.

The source material is a lot more adult. You can see how society has changed by reading and digesting older material.

When did messaging go from ‘subliminal’ to ‘explicit as fuck’?


BTW, an internet image search confirms that this is real. I was it on a $100 GC as well.

But they will be able to ban the explanations so most people would have no fucking idea what are you talking about.

No, this is a brilliant idea.

They can block the explanations, but it will get out.

That's a brilliant idea.

"turning red" is a disney story about a girl getting her period and other stuff. Her "panda" is her period.

The story is filled w/ subliminal woke crap. Notice how she defiantly says to her mom "my panda my choice!"

theyre trying to teach children woke political positions (my body my choice), and that you should be stern and defiant when it comes to invoking this woke crap to your parents.

From the link: "The professional soccer player is married to Anita Lovren. The two share two children together, a six-year-old and nine-year-old."

What does that mean to "share two children together?" What ever happened to "He and his wife have 2 children?" Is this some kind of sensitivity to blended families?

Company executives have made it patently clear that they are no longer content to merely raise their own children as "pansexuals" and "transgender," they now view it as their company's mission to ensure your children see such moral confusion as normal and well-adjusted as well.

If the conversations I overheard this last week are any indication, plenty of families who prefer to shield their kids from America's unfolding sexual Armageddon have gotten the message. And they aren't pleased.

Oh no! Everyone's calling everyone else "groomer" and now we're all confused! Are you a groomer? Is your neighbor a groomer? Let the experts at The Babylon Bee help you sort it out. Here are all the warning signs you may be a groomer:

1. Do you talk about sex with 5-year-olds behind their parents' back?

2. Do you begin sentences with, "Don't tell your parents, but..."

3. Do you encourage kids to cut off their sex organs?

4. Are you a Disney Executive?

5. Did you quit your teaching job after they passed the Parental Rights Act in Florida?

6. Does taking other people's kids to a drag show and calling it a "field trip" seem ok to you?

7. Are you now, or have you ever been, a politician?

8. Have you ever helped a child acquire sex hormones without their parent's knowledge?

9. Does David French think you're a "blessing of liberty?"

Tally up your number of "Yes" answers and consult this chart:

1-2: Oh no! You're a groomer!

3-4: Wow. Definitely a groomer.

5-6: Yep, still groomer.

7-8: There's a Law & Order SVU episode with your name on it.

9: Ok, we're calling the police.

Stop being nice to Lefties. Play hardball and take the gloves off.



This is not just ritual humiliation, this is replacing parents with bureaucrats right down to the most personal issues. It's deliberate.

I downloaded The Gulag Archipelago - you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zTwS1Xy0EM&source=patrick.net

I'm in the process of editing it. That's from an audiotape, there's some errors in how it was recorded, but as far as I can tell, it's complete.

I'd recommend you either read the book or listen to the audiobook. I spend a great deal of time walking, so when I can get them, I tend to listen rather than read.

In any case, I'm fixing the errors in the audiobook. There's blank spots, and there is unnecessary repetition because it was from an audio tape. What I got was from here:

https://archive.org/details/TheGulagArchipelago?source=patrick.net

The youtube video is based on that recording, I can tell by the error made in the recording of tape 1 second side. I'm seeing if I can piece it together based on volumes now.

We are facing what was described in that book.

One wonders if companies do any market research anymore.

I feel like the Milly Creatives simply present their worldview to upper management.

That, or upper management is absolutely incompetent.

Last week, the growing conservative media behemoth Daily Wire announced plans to create an entire world of children's programming in an effort to provide concerned parents with an alternative to the current fare offered by progressive entertainment giants Disney and Nickelodeon.

The move followed the humorous launch of Jeremy's Razors, a men's hygiene brand created by Daily Wire's CEO Jeremy Boreing, in response to their former advertiser Harry's Razors unceremoniously dropping the partnership because of "conflicting values." The mantra Boreing espouses in the brand's hilarious launch commercial is a simple one: "stop giving money to people who hate you."


Excellent slogan.

That was in OKLAHOMA. It's not just LA and Chicago and NJ.


NEW: Disney corporate president Karey Burke, the "mother of two queer children," says the company has been "targeting Gen Z and millennials" with LGBTQIA+ "inclusion" content. Her son told her that "Gen Z is 30-40% queerer" and that Disney "better get with it.

But two days after they bought the tickets, they saw on the news how Disney Parks’ diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian Ware, announced the company has “removed all of the gendered greetings” like “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.” Disney Television Animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau also boasted in an internal meeting about how she is inserting the “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” into children’s programming and “adding queerness” wherever she can. The news came out after Disney CEO Bob Chapek and the rest of the Disney corporation had already launched into a battle with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Parental Rights in Education legislation he signed into law.
