Cons: the eating cats and dogs thing will promote racism and racist attitudes, leading to more suffering for POCs in this country
Pros: maybe people will keep their cats indoors more, reducing the amount of ecological damage done by cats

Re: Friday's Favorite 100 Longform Video Media
47. Scrubs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBz1vvlkzSw I've heard that Scrubs is the most accurate medical show to ever appear on television, I don't know if that's true. It might be the funniest. The show walks that same line that NewsRadio does, where the humor, while absurdist, never veers too fa...

Yeah, if you can distract yourself, that seems to be the best thing to do.

Re: Interesting Reads
Dwarves are very specifically stated to be unenslavable and impossible to control by outside magic. Just straight up immune, full stop. This isn't even said to be true of Elves, and there are a few bad ones in the Silmarillion, Feanor and (most of) his dickhead sons first and foremost. The joke is t...

Michael Moorcock: Starship Stormtroopers It's an essay from 1977, so keep that in mind; in particular, "libertarian" meant something different back then. (I love Robert Anton Wilson's line, when asked in 1980 why he, a self-described libertarian, was supporting Carter and not the Libertar...

A significant part of my mental health is tied up in this election, I know what rides on the outcome. Millions of lives around the world will be affected. a fact I'm sure everyone here is also aware...

If you went back to 2001 and told 20 year old me that one of my favorite things to watch in 2024 would be "strong lesbian chopping wood" I would have nodded and said "yeah prob"

Wow, that's a shame to hear about Silver. And yeah, here are the rules for polls in the year of our lord 2024: 1. polls are more unreliable than ever 2. polls taken before october are even more unreliable 3. one poll is less reliable than multiple aggregate polls 4. in the end, it's not the polls th...

48. X-Men/X-Men '97 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rSw4Xl5qfs SHOCK!!! So I actually debated whether to count '97 as a separate show. In the end, I realized that I had already combined a show that's going to show up later with it's long delayed continuation season, so it's only fair to do it with ...

I never made the connection before, but O'Connell is 100% a barbarian. His default response to everything is "I attack." Even when he's healing someone, he's still attacking. And you know he's a throw/brawler barb too, based on his improvised and expert chair throw against Benny. Jonathon ...

I actually have another good example of how the critical lens can be affected by things other than the work, and this time it's about something I love: Lord of the Rings. For those of you who don't remember, Fellowship came out on the 19th of December, 2001. That's just a few months after 9/11. I re...

Re: What about a thread for good news?
Solar going so crazy (both in installation and also how much Solar has upgraded in tech level) is the single greatest good thing I have against Climate Change. Seriously, it's so good.
