I still remember the section on calligraphy at the Islamic art museum in KL, which I visited maybe...15 years ago? fascinating and gorgeous

@taiyo I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@taiyo the Spanish one takes that Totoro moment in the bath where the dad says "if we laugh, the ghosts will go away" (or something, I don't remember the exact original right now) to "the boogie monster is coming for you" which AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH

@taiyo oh another one in Totoro when they meet the ばあちゃん not only does it weirdly name her "Nanny" (in English!) but the dad says "ella cuida la casa - y por supuesto a Uds" or something like that and - WHAT? no? that makes no sense?

@taiyo YES I am so angry at some of their choices.

annoyed to report that the translation for the Spanish dubs of Totoro is EVEN WORSE than the English one

Proposed new rules for the international system:
1. No territorial gain from external military aggression will ever, under any circumstances, be recognized as legitimate. Heads of State initiating such aggression will also be deemed illegitimate & will be held liable for full costs of such aggression.

I'm rereading The Pushcart War for reasons and am reminded again how it is not only science-fiction (set in the future!) and formally inventive, but also is a manual for collective action, resistance, protest, that is very relevant today. So here's a thread:
