Went and saw Goat today. Absolutely fantastic movie, love the colors, love the designs, but top of the list:

The deep love and respect it shows specifically for black culture and black communities. (Mane Attraction's hair. Literally the best)

No Anthro Boobs. None of the ladies were struck with the standard "We gotta give them human sexual dimorphism" shtick

Completely coed sport teams. I cannot express how fucking powerful that is in 2026

The backgrounds feel like an actual living city/settlement. Not the crisp clean theme-park Zootopia wonderland stuff, actually lived in and incredibly detailed to my peasant eye.

No romance. Solid platonic cross gender relationships built on respect and comradery

It's so good and I really wish it became the same level of hit as K-Pop Demon Hunters. It won't because it's a completely different genre of movie but holy cow. As someone who has next to no interest in sports this movie is a gem. Beautiful to look at, solid story, incredible set up and pay off. I wish it could crush zootopia like a fucking bug, it's so much better than zootopia one (I haven't and don't want to see the sequel I don't care).

TLDR: If you have the ability go see the movie it's so good.

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.

whether or not a piece of writing is monetized has nothing to do with its quality.

I saw this video about a doctor who performed an MRI on a 5 year old and discovered she essentially had “brain damage” from excessive iPad use, as the white matter in her brain couldn’t form properly due to an understimulated environment.

Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…

“This 5 year old is brain damaged by excessive iPad use”

Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.

“Children don’t have the strength to hold pencils anymore because they only use screens.”

Translation: Parents aren’t making the conscious effort to help their children develop necessary skills and letting iPads raise them.

When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?

People will see a study suggesting children with higher screen times have poorer or negative developmental outcomes and immediately say it’s the screens causing this, and not the more likely fact that higher screen time = less engagement time with their environment, physical exercise, parents, family, and their peers, all of which are NECESSARY for a healthy upbringing as a social species.

It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.
