TITLE OF SOME SORT

Parents are giving their children names no one has ever spoken out loud before

Baby Name Consultant is the type of job title you'd see people claim to have on HGTV while nitpicking 3 different multi-million dollar houses.

What is up with lefty types pushing to learn practical skills (sewing/gardening/etc whatever) as like "you'll need to know this after The Revolution:tm:" and not, like, "this is a useful skill to help yourself & others in your communities Right Now". You all sound like doomsday preppers and it's weirding me out. We don't have to prep for communist rapture maybe thee revolution starts with helping your neighbors

can't believe the only options are 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late. if only there were some other way. but what can you do

I can’t stop thinking about that really fucked up map of the US in Transformers

Not being able to understand all the languages of the world fucks me up. There's so much art by people and while translations are available (sometimes), the contours of the original text will forever be alien to me. Sad.

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

I think this is important because a lot of us forget the power of stories to make us feel things about characters who are not like us, who have experienced things that we never will. The purpose of listening to someone else's story should not necessarily be identification, but understanding.

i have a suggestion

Imagine if Rod Serling’s presence was diegetic. Like you’re one of these poor saps in the twilight zone just walking along obliviously, then out of nowhere you hear someone start talking about how sad your life is, and a man in a suit holding a cigarette steps out of an alley and continues poetically dunking on you while staring into the middle distance.

I think there are a few episodes where he gets interrupted during his closing narration.
