“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

the fact that -not knowing that the aurora australis exists- is the default position for northern hemispherers is really funny to me. like even if you never heard about it, maybe you'd extrapolate that since the earth has two poles then maybe similar things happen in the arctic and the antarctic. but apparently no this isn't a common thing to deduce. the north pole is just a uniquely magic place with snow elves and sky lasers

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

chosen one bullshit aside it's hard not to see shmi's immaculate conception and padme's horrifying birth experience as both symptomatic of discomfort & disengagement on lucas's part with pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood generally. anakin comes into the world spontaneously, mysteriously; shmi's retelling ten years later obfuscates the plain horror of what took place. luke and leia are lifted not from their mother but the structure that blocks her lower half from view and, on a more basic level, makes for a much more passive delivery. pregnancy and childbirth simply happen to women & from these deeply disturbing scenarios spring the children destined to save the world. okay
