An assortment of dwarf hamsters use an early 2000s gateway desktop to pirate music using LimeWire. The hamsters are interacting with nostalgic y2k clutter across the desk, such as eating Bugles, chewing on CDs, playing with a tamagotchi that says “kill me”, and eating pop tarts.

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Disney Pulls Transgender Storyline from Pixar’s ‘Win or Lose’ Streaming Series (Exclusive) The original animated show about a co-ed high school team debuts on Disney+ in February.

Incredibly disappointed in Disney and Pixar’s decision to bow to the shittiest people. Trans kids deserve representation, and they exist whether “many parents” want to discuss the subject or not. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...
