Millennial/GenZ animation fans (and animators!); by now you're sick to death of being told you've "GOT to watch!" this or that ancient Boomer cartoon - but take this example: Jay Ward's 'ROCKY & BULLWINKLE' *was* the real thing and applies NOW: They had no money, so the script+designs HAD to be good
Personasama@persona.bsky.social · 3mo agoSucks that this 64 year old Rocky & Bullwinkle joke still hits now
ableism is still the most universally socially acceptable ism
Kari Dru@karidru.bsky.social · 4mo agoI just yelled at my mom for texting me that long covid Wired article. Somehow the retrain your brain article is EVERYWHERE and the "long covid is transmissible by blood in mice" article is not. WONDER WHY.
Three years ago, phew. You’re gonna make it, past myk. Trust yourself! And keep talking to those spirits!
Your Friend Myk@mykola.bsky.social · 3y agoI have... gone through something. I am not insane and not psychotic when I say this: I think I have learned to speak with spirits. I think that's the frame that best explains my experience the last couple of weeks. I had resisted looking into shamanism out of fears of cultural appropriation.

watching “Cadfael” for the first time in probably 15 years - for both book research and mom nostalgia reasons - and I’m about to say something so comically basic and obvious that it hardly even needs saying, but holy shit fam, Derek Jacobi is simply one of the best to ever do it
I love this 5 years old think piece by @mykola.bsky.social . My additional thoughts are... how can we add the current status to this as no function acts out of context. Additionally, it reminds me of systems in the end. (For context this book can be helpful "Thinking in Systems" by Diana Wright.)

it’s objectively a tiny bit funny that he tweeted “praise be to allah” on Easter Sunday though
Final Fantasy VI is 32 years old today. It's hard to find words whenever I need to say something about FFVI because of how important and special it really is. So I'll just say this—If you've never played it, you owe it to yourself as a gamer to experience it. I promise, it's worth it.
things change: authors and wizards are not always to be trusted: nobody can explain a dragon.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
The Melian dialogs still relevant after all these years. And also, what Athens did at Melos directly contributed to their loss. History as tragedy, history as farce, bah — history is a bit taken too far.
Dave-Inder Comar@daveindercomar.bsky.social · 6mo agoAs sea levels submerge island nations, lawyers debate if they will legally remain "States." The geopolitical reality is much colder.

Becky and Lloyd Didcot, 39 and 41, feel that an autism diagnosis carries too much stigma, so they prefer to talk about daughter Avery, 10, as if she’s batshit crazy instead.

A couple are becoming increasingly unhinged in the language that they use to describe their daughter, who is obviously autistic but must never, ever, ever be named as such, according to sources. …

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.
Pavel@spavel.bsky.social · 7mo agoOnce, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology. Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"
