Never be afraid of loving a story that’s pure fucking awesome. The reason kids movies so often are that engrossing, is because they can’t get away with useless fluff or “artsy-ness.” It means that it’s entirely about the story or it will lose its audience. But that’s all a film ought to be anyway. As someone who has watched more films than likely most people, went to film school, seen hundreds of super “out there” film work, and has made a few myself — after all of that I’ve come full circle to “kids films are the truest expression of the art of telling story on film.” How to Train Your Dragon is an incredible story. I’m a huge fan of The Last Airbender too. View quoted note →

So @BTC Sessions did they give you any details on which opinion of yours was super bad wrongthink?

If you are going to argue with people on the internet: It is better to argue about what you built to make the world the way you'd like it to be, rather than over opinions of how someone else should build the world the way you'd like it to be.

What’s a cool account I should be following? Or one with fire memes?

Almost 20 years ago and nothing has changed and everything this man said has been proven true over and over again. “We bomb them endlessly and then wonder why they are mad at us.” It’s funny, I’ve had a few friends and family members who are legitimately concerned now that we could be in danger. That “what if we get bombed?” And all I can think is that entire generations in the Middle East have grown up with this fear as a permanent part of their lives. They never knew a time, in a dozen countries, in which they didn’t have to wonder “what if we get bombed?” What do you think that does to a culture? What do you think that does to their view of the west and Israel? After 50 years how could you *not* think that the US deserved to be destroyed? What else do they even know? None of this is confusing. These are the stupidly obvious and self evident results of the bullshit our govts have been engaged in.

This was one of the craziest conversations I've had in a while on the show. Super happy that we threw this together on a whim.

Yo @jb55 is there a way we can get a “copy link” to a Nostr note in Damus so people can view it on the web? I was thinking an njump link or something, but then realized this could be a good way to direct someone to Damus: Have a Damus.io/nostrnoteid URL and when you go there to read it, there’s a “get Damus to post” or a comment section where when you hit the “add comment” button it links you to download the app. This could be a good driver where people see content they want to engage with, and the “solution” is to get Damus. Would be up to help out for a bounty for this. I’ve had some everyday interneters ask me about this with Nostr.
