They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.
How does Hollywood work these days?
Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?
“You must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.”
Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?
“Eh, you get a pass.”
Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
It's rude.
I watched a tiktok by a school teacher who hasn't assigned any homework in 12 years a few days ago and I'm still thinking about it because she made some great points. I'll link it here but it's in German.
I'll go ahead and summarize the arguments she made as to why she thinks homework sucks:
It doesn't actually promote self-sufficiency. Kids who don't struggle with organization and discipline at school will also not struggle with their homework, but kids who do struggle at school and need more help will also struggle while trying to get anything done at home.
It's inherently unfair/unequal. Children's home situations are so very different, some kids have their own desk and computer in a quiet room and at least one parent around who has the time & knowledge to help them plus the financial means to hire a tutor, while some children don't even have their own room and their parents might not be around or lack the education and means to be of any help at all.
AI exists and can be used to do almost all homework and most kids use it.
Assigning and checking homework and enforcing consequences when students don't do it is a waste of class time and creates an unpleasant atmosphere.
And also a very important point that many people in the comments made based on their experiences as both students & parents of students:
In addition to being a huge stressor for children and bad for their mental health, it also puts a lot of strain on the parent-child relationship. In cases where a parent already has a tendency to be abusive, conflicts over homework can quickly escalate and lead to abuse, which can then cause trauma around learning itself.
It's happening again, so just to remind everyone:
TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!
"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.
Report the broken ads.
Thank you.
They are not supposed to automatically redirect you without you clicking them, they are not supposed to cause a pop-up, they are not supposed to freeze your screen.
This is all bugs or malicious advertising which is also against tumblers ad policy. You should report all ads which do this.
Let’s get rid of those horrible monopoly ads, together.

I'm obsessed with the Elizabethan ruff
There are few things funnier to me than the white-hot raging beef parents can have with fictional characters written for young children. You want to hear one of the funniest rants of your life, you ask nearly any parent of a young child their least favorite little cartoon guy. It'll be amazing.
You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"
And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."
And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.
God this makes me think of this screenshot:
"it minimizes you as a person" really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole "oh but i'm just a girl" thing when used in most situations.
Anybody else have no idea how their personality is perceived by others? Like am I nice? Am I mean? I have no idea.
When people tell me stuff about me I literally think about it nonstop for 3-5 business days.
A coworker casually said “everyone else likes you” (because one coworker was mad at me) and I was for real like ????everyone likes me??????
I loved this post just because all the comments flipped between sincere appreciation and mockery of the birds

WuWa heard people complaining that every playable character is in love with Rover and decided to create the ultimate cynic who outright disdains Rover and explicitly claims to hate him/her.
AND SHES CUTE 😫
btw Denia is - if I were forced to use a family dynamic descriptor - a younger sister.
typically she reads to me as the freshman you get to know your senior year and like, you don’t have your shit together either, but this girl? she’s messed up in a totally different way and you are CONCERNED.
I’m so mad about those Reincarnated As a Slime mobile game ads I’ve been forced to see on this very app, but not for normal advertisement reasons.
I know these characters. I’ve read the manga, seen the anime, etc. Sure there’s some ero scenes, and the female characters are subject to odd clothing-related circumstances more often than I would prefer.
But none of their typical outfits warrant censorship. If you are forced to censor large breasts in a suit blazer, or a young girl wearing daisy dukes, then that is either an issue with how you’ve drawn them or (more likely) your advertising partner.
I hate ads but I hate censorship more. Stop fucking doing that.

the best thing about rulette 2 is that i do think it adds substantial mechanical improvements to the game design of the first iteration — paul and sam as ‘players’ intended to follow and be called out on rules, interesting new rules/prompts/modifiers, the golden rule concept, etc. — but all of that slowly but surely becomes overshadowed by josh ruben landing by chance on all of the specific rules that transform him into a baby-themed tongue-heavy gyrating monster
something c brought up the other day that has really stuck with me is that "task time" and "intentional time" with kids are totally different experiences.
for context, i was talking about how when i was younger, i really liked spending time with kids. all the time. i loved being an older sibling and older cousin. and i thought that would translate into being a good parent. but parenting is like a totally different ball game. being in charge of cooking, cleaning, budgeting, doing laundry, home maintenance, transportation, etc. for the entire household (i.e. task time) is so different from just playing with kids (i.e. intentional time).
and task time fucking drowns me sometimes. i don't like the kind of ornery person i become when i'm drowning in tasks - and my kids like that version of me even less. but in a way that's reinforced by state violence as well. if parents aren't doing the tasks well or often enough compared to a highly subjective & oppressive set of standards, that's when social services gets involved. and you know they don't really do anything to make the tasks better.
anyway. all of these tasks don't need to be and really shouldn't be the sole purview of parents, especially mothers. that's why so much of my work is oriented towards effective task management & labor sharing. there's a lot to be said about the social/legal/political/economic oppression of minors as well, of course, but it's hard to even begin to collectively address that until we have a handle on all these endless fucking tasks
