Medalist is an anime about figure skating and the relationship between the young skater and her coach is wholesome as fuck. Not a parent per se but similar vibes. I particularly like how they both help each other; adults have problems too and kids are smarter than we adults often give them credit for, and the show captures that very well. If you like the dynamic in Spy X Family you'll probably like it.

Also the skating is beautifully animated and the sports anime structure keeps the plot moving along. One of my favorite shows of all time.

Sigur Ros is a band that sings in a fictional language, I'm pretty sure. Not totally what you're asking for but certainly in the spirit

And your award for the fjords, I assume.

I use a stainless steel insulated bottle and I clean it with Polydent tablets, like for cleaning dentures. It works incredibly well.

Yeah, we built them a prison system so they could abuse brown people legally instead.

Yes but my point is that we did not really reconcile. The Civil War's division has never properly healed, as evidenced by our current political situation.

Is that what happened after the American Civil War?

When I was maybe 10, I wanted Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis more than anything. My mother, who is an attorney, said it was too violent. So in order to convince her, I built a strong argument and plied her with it non-stop. I would argue that I was a smart kid and all that crap about video games making you violent was garbage. The argument that finally won me my beloved MK was that she had let me watch RoboCop the year before, and I hadn't gotten messed up by that. After that I was pretty much allowed to play or watch whatever.

It's the earliest I can remember really forming a coherent argument with supporting facts and whatnot, and advocating for what I want. It's a skill that would serve me quite well going forward. Well played, Mom.

Did you have a rough recovery? I was sore for a few days but I thought it was a breeze, all things considered.

Yes but Logseq is free as in speech as well as free as in beer. Nothing wrong with Obsidian, but if you care about FOSS Logseq is fantastic.

This made me very sad. I'm very privileged, I live in a dark sky community very near a big telescope and on the border of a huge desert. My dad's really into astronomy, looking at the night sky has been a big part of my life. I lived for a bit in the city, and the sky was one of the things I missed the most.

It's like the ocean, I suppose. Another thing that it seems impossible to me that people could go their whole lives and never see, but maybe most do.

Hey hey monkey man, you keep that shit on Earth.
