Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING THIS TEXT REGULARLY FOR WEEKS

HOLY SHIT THANK GOD I DIDN’T

[imagine-that-one-thing]

I’ve gotten a few of these. Never ever click a link from an unknown number!!!

[corals-corner]

Please stay safe out there.

[rheawritesforfun]

Lemme add this link to The No Project as an introduction to this awful subject, it’s never too late to understand how these disgusting organizations try to lure their victims.

A general rule of thumb is to never press any links sent to you by unidentified senders.

Please stay safe everyone!

In the early 70s Sesame Street was created with an eye towards educating poor, inner-city children for free, and became a massive hit with all children. In 2016, faced with going off the air forever after facing conservative efforts to destroy public broadcasting since basically its beginning, new episodes became a timed exclusive for premium cable network HBO. In 2022 HBO Max, newly merged with and taken over by reality TV channel Discovery, removed Sesame Street episodes and spin-offs from streaming as a tax write-off and scheme to avoid paying residuals.

[saintofpride201]

Sesame Street's official YouTube channel is uploading the episodes for free, btw. A lot of creators are rebelling against this bullshit.

[amy-vic]

Sesame Street on PBS KIDS. Play games with Elmo, Big Bird, Abby and all of your Sesame Street friends. Watch videos and print coloring pages

As always, America, PBS has you and your kids' backs.

I also want to put in a plug for the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, spearheaded by GBH in Boston to preserve and make available public funded programming from around the country.  More than 7000 public television and radio programs are available to stream through the website, with more than 40000 hours of programming archived and available to researchers and educators through the Library of Congress and GBH itself.

I wonder if people in the fallout universe are still using 200 year old tampons or if some crazy chemist named fuckass atomic Becky or whatever has figured out how to mass manufacture them

[sword-saintisshin]

Come to think of it, I wonder what ancients did about their monthlies

[what-even-is-thiss]

Didn’t have them because of malnutrition, just bled all over the place, or used some rags

[assortedinsanities]

You... you are kidding right? You really think that in the tens of thousands (conservative estimate) of years of people wearing clothes (for the longest time an extremely valuable item) they never figured out anything better than rags or bleeding into their (sometimes irreplacable) clothing, or that literally everyone was constantly malnourished up until a hundret years ago? This is a joke right? I'm pretty sure people were smart enough to manufacture something disposable out of dried plant materials to solve an issue half of humanity has had for much of their lives. Ancient people figured out contraception through inserting vinegar soaked sponges, I'm pretty sure they had better solutions for menstruation than just going "Eh, whatever."

We also know from archeological evidence that the majority of people in most times where not malnutritioned. This should also be obvious by how we don't see constant malnutrition in other animal either, it is simply because malnutritioned individuals tend to die through injury or illness much more often, which means that a population of mostly manutrinioned individuals is bound to collapse.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Where did I say that everyone had malnutrition? Also using plants to absorb the blood is pretty similar to rags if you ask me.

There’s plenty of evidence that people used rags and sometimes people did have malnutrition. Like nothing you’ve said has disproven anything that I said in my short little explanation there.

[puffingoom]

Real answer is: yes they used rags, but in case anyone else has the knee-jerk reaction of "you make past humans sound so stupid and primitive": sometimes they wrapped linen around moss or other absorbent things. Sometimes they fashioned 'pads' out of grass and moss

Closest to us time wise, they used belts to hold absorbent cloths in place

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think that rags are a pretty no brainer solution, personally. Use for fabric scraps and old clothes that aren’t going to waste, washable, can be sewn or tied up into different shapes as you see fit. I’m really not sure why suggesting that they used rags makes them seem stupid.

[puffingoom]

I said knee-jerk reaction

Not totally reasonable reaction

I was agreeing with you but also assuaging people who, like me, might not immediately go to the logical reaction

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
