*studios and publishing houses
But that also means many studios easily bend to parental panics and also have the issue of the educational system in thinking that which doesnβt fit the hegemonic white, cishet narrative is βtoo political for childrenβ. It just fucks over kids but esp those who would be represented
Childrenβs entertainment has such an educational bent and the best childrenβs book/film/tv writers are like the best teachers as in they care primarily about the interest of the kids and providing them the tools they need as they grow
Following the success of dilf Leon Iβd like to formally request a buff milf Jill Valentine
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Yeah I was going to go physical but my preorder was going to take forever so I cancelled and succumbed to digital. Was gonna do Switch 2 which isnβt as purely physical as Iβd like to begin with
Anyways truly this is pussy shit. Stop letting the worst parents dictate art
Says more about the parents if seeing a gay on screen will necessitate therapy. It is just tiring how these conversations always come back to βwell we canβt let kids know oppressed groups exist bc parents will be madβ erasing part of what art for kids should do in introducing them to the world.
I think a lot of it is bc some educators themselves want to use ai with no consequences so have tried to legitimize the βas a toolβ bullshit
Cheating has existed for as long as there have been students. Since when have educators thrown up their hands and said, "Oh, well, they're going to cheat anyway, so we might as well teach them to do it effectively." This feels unprecedented.
Not to mention the unethical implications of telling students to feed their ideas into a data selling machine that destroys the environment and the economy
This is what most universities are trying to do instead of banning it and I think they all miss the point that βcritical ai engagementβ is impossible esp to teach at a consistent level. Itβs basically just giving student permission to plagiarize
Finished RE: Requiem and I really do think itβs a perfect mix of the new games and classic RE. Doesnβt hold your hand too much and it also doesnβt lean too much into nostalgia bait βoh hey I know that guyβ shit

90s Sam Raimi wouldβve made a great Jonah Hex movie
I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going βwow, thatβs really sillyβ and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or itβs problematic
Youβre not going to solve the problem of evil by censoring media so evil never looks glamorous and is always humiliatingly defeated. The Hays Code would have resulted in world peace if that were the case.
Iβm glad itβs the only main series game Iβve never played
I also watched it right after the shield which does somewhat turn its morally reprehensible violent man into a heroic cool guy in the end even though he gets a tragic ending. Like it does happen (the issue is bad writing not morals though) but breaking bad is absolutely not a case of that lol
It was also backlash to seeing trans people having any legitimized success esp in a field where medical pseudoscience could be so easily used against them.
On my last rewatch I esp realized that it absolutely doesnβt take Waltβs side in the end. It is his descent into hell and it frames it as a deserved punishment. Itβs not the shows fault that ppl need their hands held
The βjust asking questionsβ aspect of banning trans people but esp trans girls from sports always has been a gross cover for transphobia. The goal was always to isolate trans girls from their peers by excluding them in a very public, very violating way.
The fascists are stupid, but theyβre not Stupid. They know they donβt win if they go for genocide right off the bat. If you were receptive to βjust asking questions about sportsβ then congrats, you gave them a foot in the door.
Theyβre never βjust asking questionsβ
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
Like even just considering the ads they are probably paying a ridiculous amount compared to even other successful podcasts. And yeah heβs definitely getting some political funding with the shit he constantly peddles and how unnaturally brought up it is.
I think more people should be asking just how Joe Rogan is so wealthy, considering Spotify pays scraps even to top selling artists and he rarely does comedy shows anymore.
Deparate for help. Trying to inch by one more month. Rent, car note, have gotten behind. We are also in need that pesky stuff known as food, insulin, testosterone, blood pressure meds, and if my neuropathy continues to behave like a douche, gabapentin
