anyway if you like babies and/or dads doing their best (with varying results) i super recommend this show & most (if not all) eps/clips from eps are on youtube

here’s the clip that the screenshots are from (steven yeun shows up around the 11:30 mark)

Something Good – Negro Kiss is a short film from 1898 of a couple kissing and holding hands. It is believed to depict the earliest on-screen kiss involving African Americans and is known for departing from the prevalent and purely stereotypical presentation of racist caricature in popular culture at the time it was made.

I wanted to talk about these because apparently a lot of people outside of germany and the surrounding countries don't know about these. And with the rise of right wing politics in parts of the western world it is important to talk about the victims of the Holocaust.

These are called Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) because while you go about your day to day life you literally "stumble" across these. These stones are on the ground, where everyone walks, in the middle of hundreds of cities all over Germany and a few neighboring countries.

They are in front of the last residencies of victims of the Holocaust. Every single stone is dedicated to one person. They always say "here lived -name-" then their birthday and what we know about what happened to them.

For example this one says:

"Here lived

Georg Rosenberg

Year 1886 (which is the year he was born in, the exact birthday isn't known)

Arrested 1939

Deported 1943

Murdered in Auschwitz"

These are there so that we will never forget what happened and that even when you're doing mundane chores you might stumble across these and remember the victims. This is especially important now that the last survivors, who can tell their stories first hand, are dying.

Every year people get together to clean the Stolpersteine, so that they stay intact and readable.

Remembering and being reminded of the horrible things that happened and remembering the victims is one of the most important parts in preventing something like this from happening again.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault

This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these  silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.
