From Flying Squid Studios, the creators of cartoons designed to rot your brain, comes The Skeletor Show.

Created around 20 years ago (wow!), this series is a cleverly edited and dubbed parody of the classic He-Man cartoon. It follows Skeletor and his minion through a collection of absurd and hilarious adventures, using reworked footage and comedic voiceovers to create its own unique stories.

I first watched the series a few years ago, and with the new Masters of the Universe film now out, it reminded me of the many fan tributes and parodies inspired by the franchise. Among them, The Skeletor Show remains one of the most delightfully funny and memorable series available on YouTube.

I was looking into solutions for broken Ethernet clips and found this design, which looks pretty solid.

Anger is a normal response to upsetting situations. Learning how to manage anger in healthy ways is an important part of emotional regulation and self-discipline.

If you’re looking for ways to aid with anger management, Therapist Aid offers worksheets and resources for both kids and adults.

These free worksheets from Therapist Aid can help with developing healthy coping skills and strategies, increasing self-awareness, tracking emotions, and building other useful tools for managing anger in a healthy way. Important

Therapist Aid is primarily designed for mental health professionals, but many of the worksheets and resources are also appropriate for personal use and self-help. The site itself describes its tools as being made “for therapists, by therapists,” and intended for use with clients.

The worksheets are educational tools and coping resources, but they are not a substitute for professional mental health care when someone is struggling with severe distress, trauma, or safety concerns.
