What I think is really good about Beauty and the Beast is that he seems like a comical side character for much of the film until his vanity and misogyny drive him to become main antagonist. How traits which seem ridiculous become hugely destructive when they are indulged as much as he is.
This ain’t wrong. Gaston is staunchly anti-intellectual, prone to using disinformation to manipulate others around him for his own gain, and literally sees Belle’s own agency as an obstacle to be smashed through. You could throw a stone and hit a Gaston in the manosphere. Gaston ain’t shit.
I have worked in 5 archives, some well-funded, and NONE had their entire collections even inventoried or all donations processed, much less finding aids or catalogued. Most were working on it, to varying degrees of success. I worked in one that had donations still to be processed from the 1960s.
Actually want to amplify this further--95% haven't been digitized and even beyond that, archival CATALOGUING is its own patchy horrorshow of varying strategies, standards, and funding levels. To DIGITIZE something you have to FIND IT first!

The Alberta government does not make this easy - not only do I have to log in, give my own and my partners SIN and DOB, but they have to do the same thing to "cross-verify" it. They really don't want to give people the $100. #ableg #abpoli
NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...
"Conservative federalists don’t seem to understand they’re in a campaign, not a grad school seminar. Campaign 101 stuff is just not happening: fundraising, campaign branding, mobilization." open.substack.com/pub/shannonp...
Happy Canada Day! Time to get worried.
Waiting for Alberta’s federalist Conservatives to get their act together for the referendum campaign is not a good idea. They don’t seem to know what they’re doing.

It’s always interesting when I get to explain to a cis person that the current anti-trans hysteria is not only 100% astroturfed, it’s 180° opposite of the initial popular reaction to public medical transition. People thought it was cool! Look what modern medicine can do! She’s a bombshell!
It's easy to forget that the current anti-trans moral panic, for instance, is only four or five years old. That doesn't mean it's not ruining real people's lives and it won't take a while to fix, but it's completely artificial and brand new because, ironically enough, it's not natural.
Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.
