my kids are into “Psycho Killer” right now, so they keep asking me, “mama what’s a killer? What’s a psycho.” This is the future conservatives warned me about, and honestly, it’s not that bad because at least I’m listening to Talking Heads instead of Cocomelon.

nytimes asked for my best 10 shows of the 21st century for their list, but i told them to fuck off. here they are, just for you: adventure time 30rock freaks n geeks survivor u fill in the rest, but definitely not the most boring genre of television ever created, aka "prestige television"

I haven't really watched anime shows seriously since I was 15 or 16 years old, but here is a list that represents my development over childhood. Row 1 is ages 6-9, Row 2 is 10-12, Row 3 is 13-15. Monster is the only exception, I watched that like 10 years ago and liked it when I was in my 20s.
My "9 anime"

Sailor Moon - Dragon Ball Z - Naruto
Cyborg 009 - Ruroni Kenshin - Fullmetal Alchemist
.hack//sign - FLCL - Monster

Listening to punk with my daughter this morning and “Anarchy in the UK” comes on. My 7yo daughter immediately asks me “who is this?” I say “The Sex Pistols,” and she replies “it sounds like the mom from bobs burgers.” Now I can’t unhear it 😅

Went to see a “mystery (family) movie” at my local movie theater. The woman who took our tickets gave us a death stare and said “it’s rated pg” on our way in. The movie was Shaun the sheep.

The OOT remake looks like an unreal engine game? Also, I will still play it with my 4 year old, because they'll be enthralled.

my main piece of advice to aspiring video essay type youtubers is: Make less ambitious claims. You don't NEED to tell me about the direction of society as a whole. You don't even need to tell me a big story about how some person or text is all one way or all another way. just tell me what u see

pasting my thoughts here from elsewhere but ; gachas and mmo's operate under the same core principles, maybe even most multiplayer games at this point. they are designed from the ground up as a way to retain you as long as possible (ideally forever) in a way that preys on addictive personalities

So many well-received roguelikes I've tried lately ask me to care deeply about a 2% increase in some stat. You can't make me care about 2 or 5 or 10% increase in anything! Isaac was perfect when random shit happened every time you pick up an item. I wish more games followed suit.

The two party system's relationship to trans rights is pretty interesting, actually, and it's kind of hard to say whether or not it has hurt trans people. On the pro-two-party system side, the majority of dems have kept the party line over the last 10 years, even as trans issues remain unpopular.

I know everyone already can tell this is fucked up, but the small stuff matters for kids! Ask any child of a single mother whose father came around twice a year and showered them with gifts, trips, and "high impact, core memories" how they feel about their father. Spoiler alert: they hate him.

In middle school I walked to the library every day to hang out with friends. Libraries still exist tho. I feel like today’s parents wouldn’t let their 12 year old walk directly from school to a library a mile away with no cellphone and only the tacit agreement that mom would pick you up around 5.

I am telling you now the best thing you can do as a trans person is get the fuck off of trans subreddits as fast as you possibly can. These people are not your friends and they are not your community. They are miserable and brainwormed and want you so dysmorphic you beg for their approval

I recently read all of Mieko Kawakami's novels. Do any of y'all know any mangas with similar themes/stylings/writing styles? Maybe this question is way too specific for anybody to actually have an answer, but some of y'all know way more about this stuff than me!

Sekiro is the best From game by a lot. This is not dismissing the rest of the catalogue: however good you think the others are, Sekiro is just that much better. It really is a singular masterpiece.

My daughter asked why we don't fly an American flag the other day. I told her evil people run our country and bombed a school killing girls like her. We then talked about racism and slavery. I don't know why anyone would be proud to fly the fucking flag. (disclaimer: I'm not black, but my kids are)

Why most Black Americans say they never fly the American flag, according to a new AP-NORC poll
Jerry Esters proudly displays the American flag each day on his Detroit home. A few miles away, Yvonne Pistochini says there is no scenario under which she would allow the Stars and Stripes to cast it...

One random practice I follow: instead of their top 4 on letterboxd, look at someone's 5 star films ranked by "lowest average first" and their 1 star films ranked by "highest average first." That, and the subsequent reviews, tell you more about their taste than a selection of 4 films they love.

I do not fully trust critics who are not both lovers and haters. All I want is for you to have some kind of taste, some kind of ethic, and I want you to argue in favor of it, which should inevitably mean that you greatly admire some works in your chosen field and definitely don’t admire others.

When I was a kid, my dad's friend kept the litter box on the walk-in porch. It smelled absolutely awful in there. I resolved to never get a cat. As a teenager, I hated when friends smoked weed because "it smells like cat litter." Didn't connect the dots until my 20s (also, i love my two cats).

It's awful that in my lifetime we've gone from a society that generally believed life would get better in the future into one that generally believes life will only get worse. The shift explains much of our current political, social, and cultural reality and makes me terrified as a parent.

If LLMs had emerged at the same time as actually profitable technology (internet, smart phone, etc.) they would be treated like the scam they are, but instead the LLMs showed up during a lull for new technology and are able to bill itself as the only ground floor in town, so idiots keep hopping on.

People are so weird about eating meat. I wish those experiencing dissonance about it could just say "yeah, it's fucked up to eat meat, but I'm going to do it anyway because I don't care" instead of jumping through a million hoops to try to justify it.

When evaluating a series of games, some reviewers consider each game within its historical context and others do analysis of each game in a vacuum (meaning, by the contextual standards of the exact time the reviewer lives in). The latter group write worthless drivel and I hate reading/watching it.
