I used to also think this but listening to Josh Radnors podcast reflecting on the show, he seems a lot more considered and thoughtful about the character and the ways he really did try to separate Ted from Ross
HIMYM has some genuine problems, not least that Ted Mosby is Ross' bastard spawn intellectually if not literally, but Friends might genuinely be the worst set of people we're asked to sympathize with short of Sex and The City.

Remembering when every professional pundit overplayed the significance of Charlie Kirk’s death. It didn’t even make things better or worse, it was just something that kind of happened? He should have dropped the politics and hooped!

So much of the discussion about the harms of social media on children really refuse to recognise how little effort has been made to make their offline lives any better, and it’s telling that the largest advocates are anti-porn religious groups or Pro Israel lobbyists
None of the talk about how harmful social media is for kids balances that with a discussion of how useful and beneficial it is for them. It helps with loneliness, is a source of friendship and of information, and helps them find solace when their ‘offline’ lives are harmful or miserable. 1/4

Every so often I get really annoyed that “Tall Girl 2” wasn’t about a girl who was even taller than the original Tall Girl, therefore forcing the latter to question her own sense of self

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Hello, is anyone here part of a remote writers group that has a spot or, alternatively, would potentially be interested in starting one? I like the workshop format of writing, and it’d be cool to have people who can read the fiction I am currently trying to write

Hanging out with other dads in the playground on the weekend is so cool because the group always consists of one guy who has a podcast (me), one who really wants to do a podcast, and the other who is probably a few steps away from [redacted]

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.
Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Actors
A new feature on Elon Musk’s X has given deeper insight into the online “America First” movement.

Convinced Elon shut it down because it was too embarrassing to admit that non white people are better at being racist than their white counterparts
Grand opening, grand closing.
X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Men will log on and say they are physically superior to all women and that if they could find a way to harm us they would, but blame trans people for that. It's simply acceptable misogyny and it's not even particularly clever or well hidden.

Really good to see how obvious a lot of this stuff is and how our media class are either oblivious out of stupidity and ignorance, or just know they can’t actually directly say what’s going on because they know what the backlash will be

After Midnight Mass came out, I remember reading comments online from folk saying the Sheriff was playing the victim card, or that Islamophobia isn’t a thing anymore etc…
And then Zohran Mamdani enters the chat in 2025 and is greeted with abhorrent Islamophobia & 9/11 jibes.
Well well well…
