I do think educating parents about online culture is super important. I grew up with boomer parents who hardly ever used the computer but now parents have no excuse not to stay involved in what kids are looking at online. Good for you!

There is a HUGE business in all of it now. Hate and anger SELL and make a LOT of money for individuals as well as the giant media companies that host them. There are next to no repercussions for their awful behavior.

This is so relevant in online fan spaces as well and I have no idea how it can be fixed...which is terrifying.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I used to but they don't work there anymore. We had a similar thing happen and I just kept post to socials asking exactly this until someone reached out. Their customer service is non-existent 🙄

I do hope AE gets renewed, I just wish Leslye Headland had been given a chance. I know the show was expensive but with the overall success of The Acolyte I think something could have been worked out. I obviously don't know that side of the business well but a girl can dream.

Really enjoyed the Alien: Earth finale but...I can't help but think of another show that ended on a cliffhanger in the hopes of being renewed.

Predictably, the anti-vax “vaccines cause autism” folks have been greatly emboldened to share their dangerous misinformation. But now they’ve added Tylenol to their list. The only fever reducer that’s safe for pregnant women to use. Women and children will die if they follow this dangerous advice.
