I saw this movie in theaters when it came out, with my aunt, uncle, and older cousins. None of them liked it. I was spellbound.

Sometimes, yeah. It's very... it's something, alright. I think there's a weird tendency of people to panic and just DFE when things aren't immediately rewarding or responsive, and I dunno what to do about that. It's clearly unhealthy.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

I heard it was very "slay, queen" but also I don't personally need The Deep Lore about characters who primarily exist to be recognizable silhouettes and delightfully hateable scenery chewers.

Are you saying that maybe we didn't need a Cruella DeVille origin story that explains that she's Not That Bad, Actually™?

I would rather a furry for president, to be quite honest. Far more mentally stable than the current situation. The AL Senate seat too, while we're at it.

Tommy Tuberville is also almost certainly a deeply stupid, violent moron who I wouldn't be surprised also has some child-touching tendencies he wants hidden.

This is EXACTLY why you can't separate politics from furry culture, and attempting to do so is disingenuous and dangerous. These people despise you, me, and the fandom. It will not stop either. Talk to each other and vote every one of these douches out. www.tuberville.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

For a long while, I've had this nameless skunk guy bouncing around in my brain as fursona #3. He's got cute piercings and is kind of a rock show/dance club/dive bar-type guy. I got surprised with the first full drawing of him the other day. Meet... a skunk guy! (thanks, @toledo.bsky.social <3)

“Bad news for publisher HarperCollins: The book-buying subset of MrBeast fans appears to be vanishingly small. Two people close to the project say The Most Dangerous Games is on track to be a historic bomb…”

$Semafor: Good news for the subset of MrBeast fans who love to read mystery novels: The YouTube giant's collaboration with James Patterson is out Tuesday, accompanied by a flurry of marketing on MrBeast channels. Read My Book, You Could Win $1,000,000, promises one short. Bad news for publisher HarperCollins: The book-buying subset of MrBeast fans appears to be vanishingly small. Two people close to the project say The Most Dangerous Games is on track to be a historic bomb, with preorders numbering in the four digits as of last week, a tiny fraction of what the publisher will need to justify Patterson's and YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson's hefty fees. It was at a limp #20 on Amazon's new releases list by Sunday. Publishers chasing digital audiences is a tale perhaps as old as time, but this one will go down as a demonstration of that strategy's limits.$

Counterintuitively, sometimes not practicing for a little while lets your brain forget the roadblock your fingers had, and you can suddenly play something you couldn't before. Wtf, brain.

Watching Contrapoints and Lindsay Ellis years ago taught me that "You can stop a social media pile-on by simply doing X" is... false. Accepting satisfaction is a choice. If your self-concept and social standing rely on not being satisfied, it is unlikely that you will make that choice.

This one baffled me until I realized that they're just wildly misinterpreting the text: they think the [spoiler] lobizon is just a manifestation of Hartley's gayness and that Suarez is praying his gay away.

I know some people are going to run screaming away from any media that features religion in any capacity (and that's fine!) but what is ASTONISHING to me about the discourse is that any reading at all of Campo Largo and Hartley's 24/7 Ongoing Panic Attack can possibly be seen as "uncritical" of LDS

This whole Campo Largo “discourse” is so dumb. This is coming from an ex-Mormon. If it seems “pro-Mormon”, that’s just how the protagonist was written to see it. Going off what friends who read it have said, it seems like going all in on faith is what harms the protagonist.

The Campo Largo thing taught me just how easily someone's media illiteracy can, with social media, snowball and catch so many others up in it. I fell for it myself! How stupid of me. Ironic that a huge post criticizing a work that features faith as a central theme would be in bad faith itself.

(Catholic) author Matthew Walther, on Vance's book communion (in the Atlantic): "he (JD) describes himself attending 'a Mass mourning Christ's passion' a phrase so theologically defective that it could be the subject of an entire ecumenical council." Savage! And true! I laughed out loud.

I can't say I agree with *that*, but I do think it's an objective 10/10 and easily one of the best albums of the '90s and frankly of the past 30 years.

Was about to chime in about that film too—I enjoyed it, despite its (many serious) flaws, but I can't speak of it without either 1) being accused of being a chud for not thinking it's perfect or 2) having chuds go, "lmao BlUe MiLk PuRplE hAiR".

a lot of western leftists fall into this “if they’re beefing with america they must be based” mentality and this is just more america-centric thinking. politics is not a game of pick-the-correct-shitheads. the worst people you know are fighting. you do not need to glaze the chinese government.

I'm sure plenty of people still use it that way too, though. I wonder how much of the shift has come from the popularization of the term among very young people on other social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok and in youth-dominated spaces in the past few years.

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Now, I see it used a *lot* more broadly to include things like strongly identifying with a non-human species, having behaviors similar to one, etc. I still think it's not literally interchangeable with "having a fursona", but it's a lot less strictly, "I am literally an actual fox, except in form."

110

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Until very recently, my understanding of "therian" and pretty much every usage of it I saw was that therians believe/feel that they are literally a non-human animal behind/underneath their human exterior. Could be a soul or spirit or just consciousness, but *literally* "fox trapped in human body".

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

None of the people shrieking childishly about "historical inaccuracies" gave two fucks about 300 or Troy or Clash of the Titans (either one), which is just further proof you can ignore their wailing as it is made in hilariously stupid and obvious bad faith.

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Yes, the Iliad and the Odyssey are foundational cultural works that transcend categorizations like "novel", "poetry", "history", etc., but their core identities as works are not reliant or even remotely related to certain characters looking any such way other than "pretty" and "old".

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

- "Ancient Greece" was not a single unified nation or culture, but a loose collection of political organizations tied together by some broadly shared religious beliefs and language, both of which differed significantly in their details based on where people were

140

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

- People of all sorts of complexions, hair colors, etc. existed in the Mediterranean in the time of Homer - People concerned with "historical accuracy" of the Iliad and the Odyssey are illiterate and/or ignorant morons who don't even recognize the anachronisms and inaccuracies *already in the texts*

150

Bobcat (Blarg!) @ ANE @blarginator.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Just a reminder that: - The Iliad and the Odyssey are works of fiction - Helen of Troy, Achilles, etc. are not real people - Homer never describes Helen's physical appearance in chromatic detail - Historically, Greeks were not "white people" - The very concept of "white people" is ahistorical
