My family has been begging me for a Christmas list and this is the only thing I KNOW is going on it.
I apparently ordered this for myself back in March and I was so surprised when it showed up, cause I thought it was a birthday present. I guess it is, from me. Good job past me.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

This is why I share my "napkin math" crunching the numbers on the the top comics charts creative teams because this kind of "complacency and built-in prejudice" is there, too:
Eight years after #MeToo, Hollywood’s progress for women behind the camera has flatlined. Only three studio films this year were directed by women: the lowest in nearly a decade. Richard Rushfield crunches the numbers and calls it what it is: a crisis
