I also make a bunch of bespoke (for lack of a better term) neomoji. Haven't quite gotten around to releasing a full set yet but I have contributed to neogob and neobot.
Celestial Navigation is considered one of the best episodes of West Wing. On rewatch, it is one of the whitest episodes. Both the A plot and B plot are about a bunch of white people telling PoC to stop complaining about racism.
Jeesh.
Jeesh.

Snowy Night, the Rhine Labs Christmas song from Arknights is still the best of the Arknights Christmas songs.
This year's Tranquil Snow is the Silverash clan one but it doesn't have vocals!

You know that Republican gerrymandering effort to get more seats? It accomplishes that by narrowing their margins of victory. The whole thing backfires with a big enough swing like the one we saw in the Tennessee special election.
Democrats just need to not fuck it up. Damn.

This ending to MHA is such a slog. Even the everybody in class showing up to get their asses kicked one last time thing felt tired.
I get MHA was written for a more hopeful era but I just don't want to see good guys suffer and sacrifice to win anymore. I want evil to be curbstomped and steamrolled.

I finally talked my dad into watching West Wing and he is so hooked on it that he's delaying sports to finish episodes.
This show is so quaint in retrospect. It's liberal centrist propaganda but gods would it be nice if it were even aspiration today.

In the TOS episode, Return of the Archons, Landru says
"You will be absorbed. Your individuality will merge into the unity of good, and in your submergence into the common being of the body, you will find contentment, fulfillment. You will experience the absolute good."
How borg-like.

This is very much an ancillary point but Arknights made the conscious decision to avoid a Nazi chic look early on. Dobermann deliberately has a more Pinochet-esque skin for her military fetish outfit.
The story is in a fantasy setting inspired by the concert of Europe era but even they noped out.

Anybody remember that guy who wrote for the Economist promoting Taylorism the other day?
One of the key problems it was designed to solve (and consistently failed at) was the scourge of skilled workers merely "solidering" on at the level of lesser workers because they could get away with it.

Dilf tagged pulled from Fakku less than a decade after every single games journalist waxed lyrical about Dream Daddy, one of the only dating sims your average games journalist would even deign worthy of their attention… there’s a connection there
The Daddy Dating Visual Novel everyone was celebrating for some dumb reason eight years ago is now too problematic.

Bully GF who insults you when women are likely to overhear but the insults are suspiciously praise-like.
"No real man would eat a chick out for hours."
"You think that massive cock makes up for being a beta?"
"I'm not going to unlock your cage with 4-7-1-9, no matter how good your foot rubs are."

Corporate consolidation is always bad but out of all the bad possibilities, this is probably the least awful?
David Ellison doesn't get the even bigger propaganda outlet he wanted. Comcast won't be in charge of more infrastructure. David Zaslav will finally be kicked out of Hollywood (probably).

It seems as though Netflix has won the bid for Warner Bros.
Paramount tried, and based on the last couple of years lets not assume anything.
But this is a big deal.

YouTube for Fire TV just pushed an update that makes it impossible to tell how far along you are in a video. It has a light grey bar around hex AAAAAA that fills up with a light grey bar around hex CCCCCC.
I assume the dumbass who vibe coded it included some white supremacy and it got confused.

Last year, Robert Reich pointed out that if the top 4 firms control 40% of a market in the food sector, it leads to abuses.
Steam alone controls around 75% of PC game sales. Yeah, they're doing awful things with it and should be broken up.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

It's a survival crafter/settlement builder that mixes the two well. Villager based automation is easy to get the bare bones but rewarding to improve. It has a lot of QoL—especially considering that it only came out recently.

Atom does an old school villain thing in DC KO #3. It's a trope so old my mom recognizes it and she read comic books in the 60s.
The biggest boom you can imagine is the one that gave you your powers so you throw your opponent at it. Then you get shocked when they emerge with your powers.
Classic.
