For any who need to hear this:

Most people, throughout history, have not had to cook every day. It's not weird to not always have the energy to do that. And when you have some but not tons of energy, a lot of packaged or frozen foods have gotten good in the past 20 years.

I'd quote other songs, but they more explicitly spell out parental relationships. Heatwaves is the only one I know that can pass as a romantic song. But I'd argue that is also projection

Heatwaves hit when my mother died at the start of the Pandemic.

"Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now"

Hits different in the context of a parent whose approval you could never secure and now never will

Every Glass Animals song I hear feels like it's not about romantic love but about familial dysfunction. Maybe projection... Or maybe you have to know what to listen for

Starting on a way greener codebase than ever before and now I'm just vibe coding my way through an entire docs site, interface and all. It's like I got on a train going in the general direction and oh, now, I'm the conductor, ok

Dude had so many women come out about him creeping on set recently

But, tbh, he, like Warren Ellis and Neil Gaiman, wrote stories that gave me an ick internally. It took a few decades, but now I know why

I'm not entirely sure what the team needs, but would love to see them find it!

To be honest, some of these were quite funny. Especially the one about the amulet that keeps the son from transforming into a racoon at midnight
