Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

Stop-motion is an animation technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments. By capturing 24 frames per second, the object comes to life
The movement of each character, the speed at which they move, and lighting are all taken into account. Everything is crafted and captured manually, frame by frame. By doing everything manually, the handmade nature of this series exudes warmth filled with the unique charm only stop-motion can provide.
As the process requires extreme precision, each animator can only create up to 4 to 5 seconds of footage a day. Approximately 86,000 individual images were required to create this series.

the cognitive dissonance from people who want the products of modern medicine but get weird about animal research. like im sorry but this is necessary for the survival of the society we currently live in. and the scientists who work on these things are not evil cackling psychopaths. anyone you talk to in animal research has incredibly complex feelings about their work and incredibly complex relationships to the animals in their care. there are regulations and oversight and penalties in place to make the work as humane as possible and scientists are overwhelmingly the ones enforcing and advocating for better care.

Graeber talks about bullshit jobs, what they are, where they come from, and what can be done about it. A short summary:
Bullshit jobs are jobs that often are paid well and enjoy a certain amount of respect, but do not add anything to the work environment or society. If it were to disappear, it would make no difference, and it would often make the world a better place. Think of corporate lawyers, consultants, telemarketers, many managerial jobs.
Bullshit jobs are detrimental to job satisfaction and can alienate the worker, leading to, for example, depression or bore-outs.
With technology and automation, we could be working 15 hour workweeks. In feudal Europe, during the harvest season peasants would work 12 hours a day, in the off seasons just two or three. Many societies today do not work more than three or four hours per day. But instead of decreasing the oppressive and demanding 40 hour workweek we kept inventing bullshit jobs.
A part of that is what is seen as valuable work. If you are producing, you are doing valuable work. If you are caring, or cleaning, most often performed by women btw, you are not doing 'valuable' work, even though if all carers and cleaners were to stop, society would grind to a halt.
Another part of it is unions. They (well-meaningly) constantly demand more jobs. They proliferate the puritarian idea that you have to work to earn your wages. That is also why it is so hard to refuse them: they are asking to be allowed to earn their keep. But to keep up with this job demand, bullshit jobs keep needing to be invented.
A solution is to re-imagine work as [...] the material extension of caring. Caring is any action ultimately directed towards maintaining or increasing another person, or another person's freedom. People need to be free to decide for themselves how they want to contribute.
''
NB: I kept very close to the texts as I wrote this quick summary, writing-wise. I haven't added quotation marks, but the above summary is not to be taken as my own writing or idea. This nota bene is to prevent notions of plagiarism.
PS: Graeber also wrote a book about this. For those of you interested:
Bullshit Jobs, by David Graeber.
