I know our society has had a lot of idiots for quite some time, but if people can't comprehend the difference between daycare as a service versus familial care by parents/grandparents when discussing where payment is appropriate, I think we've lost the lede way before those fingers hit the keyboard.

I'm glad I stayed off social media until I finished the Stranger Things finale, because I enjoyed it way more than most people online, it seems.
I thought it was very well done and the epilogue was beautiful. I wouldn't have done it any differently, nor could I think of any other way to do it.

As I'm trying to barrel through MHA, the Toya Todoroki moment caught me massively off-guard and is one of the few out-of-nowhere moments that I'm actually good with in any fictional medium. I can't believe this was as early as season 6 with two seasons left.

I'm closing in on the end of My Hero Academia, and this moment still reminds me of how the show does heroism better than most superhero stories - especially the way the music hits a crescendo on the closing moment: "I'll become a hero and save people!"

GOODRICH (2024) is a wonderful slice-of-life dramedy and continues Michael Keaton's career comeback. Also nice to see him and Andie McDowell reunite on-screen for the first time since 1996's MULTIPLICITY.
Great movie about parenting and the complications of life in general as a parent.

If not for Davante Adams confirming that Puca Nacua is dumb as bricks, I'd almost accuse Al and Kirk of sportswashing the whole thing.
Actually, depending on how much dumber Puca acts next week in his CTE speedrun, I might still walk that back.

I never realized that I've had basically the same haircut as Rams head coach Sean McVay for the past couple of years, and that he said his haircut was inspired by '90s boy band LFO, whose debut album I listened to religiously as a kid.

There are many other, far more important happenings that have made me sad.
But, for some reason, this right here just makes me profoundly sad. Almost like the victory lap of a poor winner, on top of a heaping pile of shittiness.

The Trump White House has added partisan, insult filled descriptive plaques beneath portraits of past presidents along a White House colonnade he’s labeled the Presidential Walk of Fame. Reagan received praise because he was the scamvangelical trickle down prototype Trump learned from.

The funny thing is, if you grade the essay solely on syntax and adherence to the assignment, it still would get a zero. The shittiness of her arguments just adds to the schadenfreude.

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky turned in a Bible-themed sermon instead of an essay and received a failing grade.
She immediately complained to Republican leaders and right-wing media.
Sadly, her pretend-victimhood is working.

My favorite aunt passed away 21 years ago yesterday and I've been thinking about her a lot lately.
Her passing had a ripple effect on my relationship w/ my dad's side of my family and my childhood. This short doc by my cousin is as much about her as my uncle and our fam.

On the note of '90s and '00s R&B, Ginuwine is heavily underappreciated despite his commercial success from several moderately remembered singles. I would welcome new music from Ginuwine in 2025.

Zohran & Trump is like that Saved By The Bell episode where Lisa became enamored with Jessie’s new step-brother from New York because her friends were all dorks.
But instead of crashing a car with her, Zohran’s just like “What if people could actually afford to live in America?”.

Toss-up for me. 50 has about 3 full albums' worth of great material. T.I. has the longevity to match. If you include mixtapes, 50 wins. If you focus solely on album cuts and singles, maybe T.I.
