btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

It's telling how hard this America's Next Top Model doc leans on "Standards were different back then" as if awareness of eating disorders, body shaming, etc. were simply never discussed in the early 2000s. They were discussed! >
all i want to do online is play video games, talk to my friends, and look at girls boobs and every fucking day some freak i've never met decides to make it harder and harder to do that
Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

If a take about the Epstein files doesn’t explicitly acknowledge the role of patriarchy and gendered violence I throw it in the garbage.

For #MosaicMonday a #Roman mosaic showing the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. The monster’s head is depicted in the centre. The simple depiction is alluding to the myth of Theseus, in which the Greek hero slays the Minotaur in the labyrinth with the help ... 🧵1/2

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"
more “you don’t have to give up fandoms/interests in your 30s bc you’re ’too old’” comments going arnd thanks to “ppl in your 30s, give advice” meme
my take is that 30s isn’t even old to begin with
"sorry, i havent finished a project in months, i've been at war with myself"
remarkably appropriate meme
younger people have fallen out of love with harry potter because they have anime now. all other political analysis is secondary to this fact
"The real question here isn’t why Heated Rivalry is a hit—it’s why this kind of romance series is so rare in the first place."
The great @gavia.bsky.social returns to Fansplaining with an incisive piece on Heated Rivalry, romance publishing, and the TV industry. Read or listen to an audio version:
Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance
Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil
Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.
morality begins when you do the right thing in spite of your pain and instinct. it is not moral or immoral to help people you already like. it is moral to help those who need it even if you do not like them. but they have to seek help first. you answer the cry in the wilderness, but you must cry
Hey guys, just so you know there is an anti-Al writing tool, similar to MS Words or more like Google docs. It has all the basic functions for formatting, they don't scrape your writings, and pledged never to integrate Al

If you loved the gay hockey series, you might also enjoy every other book by queer and trans authors that's received zero marketing push. Especially books by queer BIPOC authors who were told, "sorry we already have a book like yours on our list."

In an era where corporations are actively pushing for IP law to be bypassed entirely so they can regurgitate plagiarized material to sell back to the world, I'm increasingly of the opinion that making fangames, romhacks, etc the old-fashioned way is cool/punk/a minor act of resistance.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture
still think it's extremely fucked up how Tokimeki Memorial couldn't get an English release because dating sim sounded too icky or pathetic for the Western audience but now the entire tech industry is all in on selling people AI chatbot companions just 3 decades later
