There are only two types of cat models on cat product packaging: 1) proud of itself, cute and knows it; 2) hates the product, you and being on camera in general

@naomialderman.bsky.social I loved The Power, and think Zombies, Run! but especially The Walk are brilliant. So please know I'm not trying to pick a fight; I just wanted to share I found it hurtful that a Latvian game developer in your article was reduced to being from "the former Soviet bloc" 1/2

Now "browsing" means Netflix compiles your recent watch history and feeds you more of the exact same thing. Or Amazon analyzes your buy history and gives you a list of 15 books with basically the same title. You rarely stumble upon something new or different by chance. It's eroding our curiosity.

Pride is not the only emotion that you're allowed to have about your history. There are many others that can and do apply. It should not be a failing or a threat to your sense of self to acknowledge those other emotions. To speak them aloud as you watch history unfold.

Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Ugh I had no idea. :/
