THE GREATEST JOKE ADVENTURE TIME HAS EVER WRITTEN
People like to make fun of animators but jokes on them…
Today at work I named the sergers
What Satire Is: The peasants from Monty Python ridiculing King Arthur by pointing out every single flaw in medieval politics and legends.
What Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.
What Depressing Satire Is: Bojack Horseman, a famous celebrity who lives in a mansion in Hollywood, going through life legitimately depressed.
What Depressing Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.
REMEMBER: SATIRE IS SUPPOSED TO RIDICULE THE POWERFUL BY SHOWING THAT THEIR VICES OFFSET THE POWER.
TL;DR: SATIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE POWERFUL, NOT THE POWERLESS.
It’s not satire if the ones in power are mocking the powerless. My English teacher taught us how to correctly write satire

Juana Jaafar
Edisi podcast kali ini mengupas tentang keterlibatan perempuan dalam politik dan proses pilihanraya tanahair termasuk peranan media dalam membentuk persepsi masyarakat dalam hal ini. Perbualan turut menyentuh beberapa isu semasa politik Malaysia.
this podcast episode has been making the rounds, and i finally got to listen to it. it’s really much appreciated to hear from all these women who’s been at this for decades now. it’s about 90% in malay though, but if you can understand malay, i’d rec a listen, definitely.
Joining Juana in this ep: Gayathri Venkiteswaran (media freedom activist); Tan Ben Hui (academic and activist; co-author of Feminism and the Women’s Movement in Malaysia); and Masjaliza Hamzah (media activist and ex-journalist)
it’s the Fifth Element song that almost nobody can actually fucking, like you’re not really supposed to be able to sing from alto –> high F above high C
just
even if you know nothing about music this is fucking iMPRESSIVE???
OMG she has INCREDIBLE voice, this just doesn’t happen!
Holy fuck
lol as soon as you make something that’s like “x was made to be impossible for a human to do,” you KNOW someone just made it their life mission to do it
There’s some misinformation going around about this vid:
The notes themselves are not impossible to sing. It’s the speed they change at the end that is physically impossible for a human.
Listen to the last section of the Fifth Element song from the movie and then compare to this video, when the Diva is switching pitches really fast. You’ll notice that the singer here is either singing some parts slower or not bothering with other parts.
From IMDB: “When composer Eric Serra showed soprano Inva Mula (who dubs the voice of the Diva) the sheet music for the Diva Dance, she reportedly smiled and relayed to him that some of the notes written were not humanly possible to achieve because the human voice cannot change notes that fast. Hence, she performed the notes in isolation - one by one, as opposed to consecutively singing them all together and they digitized the notes to fit the music. There are a few moments when you can hear the differences in the vocal tones of The Diva’s voice.”
While an impressive performance, she is not singing the song like it was in the movie. She’s singing a version that has been modified for human vocal cords.

cant believe a bunch of english kids go through a fuckin cupboard and find a magical kingdom full of wonder and they go “yeah we’re the royal family now”
typical english behaviour
I think what’s more creepily imperialistic is the reaction of everyone in Narnia to the Pevensies.
Like, the Pevensies end up the royal family in large part because everyone’s like ‘it has been prophesied that you will come and rule us and everything will be great!’ and, well, in-universe I can’t really fault them on that; if I were a young teen or pre-teen in a completely foreign country, I too would probably just go along with whatever seem to make people friendly to me.
But the reaction of the Narnians, in almost ubiquitously welcoming these foreigners as obviously destined to rule them even though they know nothing of the country and the culture… now that is some creepily imperialist writing.
