This is really just a place for me to collect my thoughts and interests. I may also write stuff down if I happen to be sitting by my computer when they come to mind.

I can’t believe Spider-Man defeated not one but TWO Disney films and grabbed the Golden Globe

Oh my goodness I’m so happy *ugly sobbing*

People don’t understand why this is a big deal.

Disney has a stranglehold on animation. Ya’ll remember when Frozen came out? Well when it won the Oscar for best-animated film, it was revealed that the people voting didn’t watch any of the other films. Frozen only won because of it’s brand name. For Spiderverse to defeat two Disney films is big because not only does it prove that animated movies feature people of color can be successful but it’s also showing that other animation companies have a chance.

Isn’t Marvel owned in it’s entirety by Disney? Am I missing something?

Disney doesn’t own Spider Man

I guess I was missing something…thanks for the correction. For those who, like me, did not understand the fully complexity of MCU ownership, see here.

Yeah Disney really only gets money if it’s the live action Spider-Man. They don’t even get any money from Venom

That’s interesting, explains why the style is so different.

It’s a world of laughter

A world of tears

It’s a world of hopes

And a world of fears

There’s so much that we share

That it’s time we’re aware

It’s a small world after all

There is just one moon

And one golden sun

And a smile means

Friendship to every one

Though the mountains divide

And the oceans are wide

It’s a small world after all (From the song It’s a Small World After All)

I had a dream once where I was walking down a coast that looked exactly like this. It was very peaceful.

Prof says he’ll grade students on a curve, so they organize a boycott of the exams and all get As

Johns Hopkins Computer Science prof Professor Peter Fröhlich grades his students on a curve: the highest score on the final gets an A and everyone else is graded accordingly.

Clever students in Fröhlich’s “Intermediate Programming”, “Computer System Fundamentals,” and “Introduction to Programming for Scientists and Engineers” figured out that this meant that if they all boycotted the exam, they’d all get As.

So they organized a boycott, milling around the hall outside the class where the exams were being sat, sternly reminding each other that if no one sat the exam they’d all get straight As, ignoring Fröhlich’s pleas to come and sit the exam.

Fröhlich praised his students’ solidarity: “The students learned that by coming together, they can achieve something that individually they could never have done. At a school that is known (perhaps unjustly) for competitiveness I didn’t expect that reaching such an agreement was possible.”

Who will ride or die with me this hard

I love that even the professor was like, “YES! They did good!”
