Most CGI art, especially from this time, tries to crank up the contrast and color and ✨cool✨ effects that are impressive for a moment. Even when realistic, the focus is on idealized settings and important subjects. I'm glad the artists found this atmospheric moment worthy of their efforts.

Sometimes I think they enjoy our desperation; it's a power thing. Or that they hope Trump wins and they get to heroically fight that system in the streets: the same fantasy as right-wing gun nut types, and just as grounded in reality. In any case they're too comfortable with the idea of a Trump win.

Also, only the Playtex company had the textile expertise needed to make spacesuits with the tight tolerances required; and they got that expertise from specializing in women's hosiery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILC_Dov...

During Apollo 11, the crew in flight were surprised by a computer issue. Turns out they were a touch careless and had left too many tasks running: but it was programmed wisely and prioritized the tasks well, avoiding problems. Women's work saved the mission that day.

I always remember that it was men who got the glory of first setting foot on the moon (and the only ones who've had the opportunity, so far): but part of what got them there were well-programmed computers. At the time, programming was seen as women's work: tedious, not glorious.

The sort of problem that solves itself, given time. Natural selection at work. 💁🏻‍♀️ And tbh "Milton" is about the least threatening name for something to have.

"Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign looked at six decades worth of death rates from U.S. hurricanes and found that hurricanes with female names were more deadly because people think they sound less threatening and therefore take fewer precautions to protect themselves."

And for that matter, dogs don't need them either. They want to be out there with their human.
