Consider the following before adopting a Manticore for your family

A Manticore with the caption "I am not a toy. I am not a pet. I am not a Christmas present. I am a 400 year commitment."

Plenty of movies on Letterboxd that I feel like people absolutely sleep on but this is very much one that I'm surprised doesn't have more love on there given its cult status

whatever the book, it should definitely be a book left out where the kid can find it after being told "I don't know, that might be too scary for you, maybe you shouldn't read it." (this is how you make a reader for life)

Takes like this remind us that success in creative industries is more ambiguous than ever. If something isn't undeniable across every conceivable metric, its success and the future of works like it can be spun in many ways according to the whims and wishes of those in control.

Feels like a good time to remind people that sharing those awful Studio Ghibli AI images (even to dunk on them) still counts as sharing them, which is what the people behind that technology and the individual images want at any cost.

An account called minionswag posts a shitty AI image of a minion holding a sign that says "F Trump" with the post "#Hitler #tesla FUCK TRUMP"

An account called "looking for BF free GF" replies "while I agree with you message I disagree that a minion would be so vulgar with there language and use the F. Please rewatch the minon movies. #watchyoumouth #noswearing"

Now and then you see an indie game that looks like it was made just for you. I've been waiting for a modern Sweet Home-like game, and this looks shockingly close to that.
