That reminds me of a thing that I have noticed recently in online book discussion, which is that people are using "unrelatable" to mean variously "unlikeable", "unfamiliar", and "the character development is weak" which are all separate matters!

Could I still get through an entire work day the same way I got through the last one before I got laid off because of AI? Probably!

I kinda get why it didn't though... "Originally, the company intended to create toys from literal stuffed opossum skins, but the result was described as "fleshy-looking and repulsive—like a pale, limp rat", leading to the creation of the plush version instead."

I kinda wish that had caught on.

I've seen two people mention this movie so far and my visceral response is that I want to find everyone involved in the pitch meeting and release itching powder.

They are to me too, so much so that I put one in my book!

I feel like there should be a plaque.

Fair! Of course Beatrix Potter herself was all over the map with that: Tabitha Kitten lives in a house and serves tea, the rabbits live in a burrow and are in danger of predation but also wear clothes and smoke, Squirrel Nutkin is naked but capable of sailing a raft iirc.

In the 70s his work was, I shit you not, made into an anime: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_...

Unc' Billy, sorry.

His possum was named Uncle Billy.

Thornton W. Burgess is largely forgotten now, I think, but he was churning out American clothes-wearing animal stuff from 1910 right through 1960.

I feel like Bojack Horseman's house was pretty stable but it's been a minute since I watched so I could be wrong.

It's time. Cast him to play Ignatius J. Reilly and get it over with.

I'm so goddamn tired of these tech people, friend.

Hell, how would Rod himself speak about a dead man of color with his exact track record of misbehavior? Not with loving forbearance!

Much like "why doesn't Bruce Wayne fund social services instead of beating up mentally ill people at night?", it's a fun observation to hear once but not really a load-bearing sociological thesis.

This is delightful to me on many levels.

The man smacked his pregnant girlfriend around. How much kindness does that call for exactly?

That show is like from another universe (complimentary)
