it gets me so hard everytime.
Phrasing! Hahaha
Lots of episodes can get a little violent but the first episode is golden for teaching perspective and that the “bad guys/good guys” dichotomy isn’t what it seems, and to be kind to everyone, in a way that is a little easier to digest when they’re little.
Do not underestimate silent film! My kiddo loved them as a toddler. Here are some great starters:
Very engaging with way more visual gags than we usually see nowadays, few title cards, and a chance to talk with your kid about what is happening on screen (Ooh no, Charlie is stuck in the lions cage! How is Buster going to get on that runaway train?)
And eventually when they’re a little older, getting your kid to sit down with you to watch Scorsese’s Hugo (2011). It is an absolutely magical loveletter to early film, particularly Méliès’ A Trip to the Moon.
Literally verbatim what an officer said when we couldn’t get a hold of animal control and he got sent over instead…
I really need an SNL sketch with Jeffrey Epstein as Jacob Marley, but with bedsheets instead of chains

I was a dumbass and downloaded a shit ton of viruses. I couldn’t afford to get a tech to fix my mistakes and XP didn’t have a bootable recovery menu. I followed a tutorial on how to make an Ubuntu image flash drive, and the rest is history.
I was bad at computers and priced out of being a dumbass. I’m a sysadmin now 🙃
Shaquille O’Neil ruined basketball with his physical advantage
My rep has a 1 star review on Google, if that’s any indication
Windows Sysadmin. My job is to enjoy the eternal arms race against Cortana every update via GPO and registry hacks. We are running on malware, it’s a joke.
And before you ask, I am a peon and “Have we considered Linux?” was an office meme years before I arrived.
Im sorry for the confusion here but this is a 🅰️ comment
Like electricity and central heating, they hadn’t made that discovery yet
A lot of scholars point out that homosexuality wasn’t really a concept in the ancient world. Neither was marriage for love or anything other than a means to perpetuate genes and familial property. But what was very much a concept was machismo. Being a “bottom” (in different terms back then) was considered degrading and “womanly,” and that was typically the issue at hand, according to many scholars, such as DanMcClellan, Robert Alter, and Jerome Walsh.
Try Psalm 137 on for size. 8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, Blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks!
Hosea 1 is wild: 8 “And when [Gomer the harlot] weaned No Mercy (And I thought Tragedeigh was a bad name for a girl!), she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said,” Call his name Not my People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.
Also if fundies claim that the husband leads the wife like God leads the church, Hosea 2 gives a good idea of what “Godly husbandmanship” looks like.
And of course, Leviticus is full of all kinds of “fun” things to have as soundbites, like humiliation rituals for menstruation or” suspected" infidelity, when a rapist can marry his victim, and how badly you can beat a slave before you get into trouble for it.
Of all the capitalists bitching about higher taxes and how UBI will destroy businesses, they keep forgetting that people are more willing to buy shit when they don’t have to worry about rent.
Yeah I’m pretty minimal on GNOME plugins for that reason too. XFCE will always be my backup at least. KDE is just too much.
I’ve been an XFCE loyalist for so long, finally gave GNOME a go and now that I’ve got something more simple and less customizable, it finally feels like Linux is a daily tool and not a project that I have to keep tweaking.
Yes, I’m a Debian person lol
Well until we get past all the Mean Girls Burn Book embarassing bullshit and get to the actually serious incriminating things that have actual ramifications…
Its how they do the female leads. They still have to be “hot,” of course. And in order to be “strong?” Well obviously masculinity is the strong gender, and OBVIOUSLY masculinity is toxic. So a “strong female character” is either just toxic masculinity with a pretty face pasted on, or a beige parody of stoicism.
Better a white female lead than a black male lead, amirite China? And Russia? And Saudi Arabia? …And Amerikkka?
YES Wallace and Gromit is so fun, and I love introducing stop-motion animation to kids. And looking at them all, these movies seem to have a love for older pulpy genres like monster movies and noir
