I hate that this needs to constantly be repeated but

Criticism =/= condemnation

You can love something despite (or for) its flaws. Being able to point them out means you're paying attention and care enough to notice. Thinking critically about the media you enjoy means it matters to you

illustration of Sirenetta - a mermaid with green and coral hair with half of it tied up in a shell shaped bun, a blue tail with fins like a triggerfish, and a blue swim top with a gold shell on her left side. She's holdin gup a seashell wand with a rainbow jumping out of it. The illustration is styled to look like an 80s toy illustration

New 'call a boomer' phone line connects young people in Boston to seniors in Nevada This phone, a new "social experiment," is the work of a biotech company that says it is aiming to bridge generational gaps and improve happiness.

Okay, this is pretty cool.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

That viral screenshots of the Japanese woman telling Godzilla to destroy the financial district in a videogame... but now she's telling Princess Sailor Moon, from the 2003 tokusatsu drama series, to "go ahead and destroy the planet, Princess Sailor Moon. Make yourself happy."

I've been comfort watching 90s ER on Netflix. A 30 year-old show: Trans character with sympathetic backstory. Multiple gay characters. HIV discussed every episode. Main characters who are black and brown talking about systemic racism

Years before we all came anti 'woke' babies.

I feel like 90s media in general would make conservatives shit their pants today. They got a lot wrong, but they were at least trying

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

especially cuz this is maybe the only part most people enjoy?Speeches can be nice, seeing who wins and loses is interesting, but the live performances have always been the part of the Oscars that actually feels fun

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
