Every time I see this post I think about that study that was done on how cats recognize visual imagery. They weren't sure if they track by color? shape? outline? movement? So they did an experiment where they showed cats clips of birds or rodents, visually altered in various ways -- light-inverted? color swapped? upside down? stills? mocap? slowed down, sped up, stretched or warped? And they found that cats could continue to recognize videos of animals even when they were just a skeletal ball-and-socket model, so long as they still moved like the animal.

Might not be the most popular opinion in my circles tbh, but I'm actually okay with the government spending money on sports. I agree there are better things to spend the money on, but major sports teams are big parts of community and city culture all over the world, and have been for absolute ages. It's good entertainment, it's a sense of identity and community, it's something for people to rally behind, I like it. I think we go way overboard with how expensive our sports complexes are, but in principle I don't think there's anything wrong with a city government spending money to build a large sports complex or two for major sports teams in their city, so long as it gets regular and frequent usage, and can be repurposed for other events when the sport is out of season or not actively being played on a given day. Large sports complexes also make for really good places to install public transit hubs, because they are places of new construction often near downtown cores and often in areas with existing rail connections, as inexpensive and largely available real estate for these projects is most commonly available in old industrial areas, and because they see high game-day traffic from people all over the region it's kind of the perfect place to build inter-modal transit hubs. You can even integrate them with shops and restaurants that will see large influxes of game-day traffic and then regular business from commuter traffic.

when the characters never really make peace with it

absolutely looosssinggg it. i'm so obsessed with movies which portray the woman MC in a highly specific job because the writers clearly think it's like "off-beat" and "quirky" but have no idea how the field works whatsoever.
