My favorite thing about “Whom the Gods Destroy” is that Spock, when faced with a classic doppelgänger situation, does not even BOTHER to try to figure out which Kirk is the real Kirk. Instead he responds with basically “You can’t stay like that forever. I’ll wait.” AND PULLS UP A CHAIR.
King behavior.
K so not comp sci BUT the storyboarders on this show have a ridiculous level of skill, which makes the show’s simple style shine with dynamic shots. The scenes logically flow into one another which not only make it easier for children to follow the action, but for adults to remain interested. Just wanted to put that out there. (see Donna W.Y. Long’s examples, srsly)
so first of all griffin rock is a spectacular concept for testing technology. It’s an island so any rogue experiments can be contained but also have enough room for some fun. It emphasizes that science can be messy, but also cool. It’s awesome to see all his tech being treated as normal. That’s a good way to fight technophobia in young children, which makes my job easier in the long run.
ALSO the script treats emergency situations seriously, even though it’s kind of an actiony show. The rescue team always handle situations to the best of their ability in a relatively calm manner. I personally think that’s a great teaching tool for parents to use. “Hey remember when x character did a thing during this situation? That’s something you should/shouldn’t do, what are some better things we can brainstorm together about this problem?”.
THINGS GO WRONG ALL THE TIME. Projects fail. Code goes haywire. something breaks. Someone’s feelings get hurt. I love that this show demonstrates that even if things go real bad real fast, you can work through it. Nothing and no one is perfect, and it’s important to own up to your mistakes and practice good communication so your relationships and projects can progress. Normalizing failure as something that’s not a big deal creates wonderfully persistent scientific minds.
The language in general is very clear. There’s no “ok now in english please” when scientific topics are discussed. Kids are smart proto-humans and will pick up on how to explain difficult subjects in a clearer manner. The show doesn’t talk down to the viewer. It’s really nice to me in that it makes scientific subjects seem less intimidating. I don’t like when media makes science out to be gobbledygook to the average person, when anyone can understand it if it’s explained properly. My fav professor rn says that If you cannot summarize a topic in a few simple sentences, you don’t actually understand the subject. Rescue bots does this super duper well.
And lastly, it makes learning and asking questions a fun and natural thing to do. That if someone doesn’t know something, they certainly can find out! That makes me very happy. Being able to fail and grow and discover is what science is all about!! I hope this show inspires the next generation of engineers and scientists as much as it inspires me.
Absolutely fucking hilarious to me when people are like "Well, ACTUALLY, the original Disney princesses are anti-feminist because they clean and cook!"
When...
Snow White was a slave
Later, when she ran away from home, she used her knowledge and skills because she didn't have money. It's respectful of her to earn her keep rather than just assume she can live there for free.
Cinderella was also a slave. End of conversation.
Aurora didn't have a job because she was a princess in hiding. So we see her doing chores. It's almost like taking care of your home and feeding yourself is a normal fucking concept...
Why do people put these ladies on blast for things they themselves do every single day?? God forbid we see princesses actually WORK.

Ratchet has his own list. And if your name is on it you better have your ass in his medbay pronto. Ideally medics travel in packs, but there are several alpha medics who will take you down and drag your ass to your appointment.

i recommend every history student to play the appropriate assassin’s creed game before starting to learn about a subject bc it makes everything 10000% funnier like. hey. i know this guy. he had an unresolved yet undeniable homoerotic sexual tension with my favorite video game man. what’s he doing here.

im so in love with this post one time i got really really high and decided since i dont have a printer that i was going to paint it and hang it up on my wall
there's only 7 words on the painting and you managed to misspell the two largest ones
there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward
its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
PLEASE can we normalize proper flash warnings and requiring an option to disable flash effects in video games. i am so sick and tired of finding a video game i want to play with no flash warnings anywhere, only to discover there are full screen flash effects with no option to disable them. STOP MAKING YOUR GAMES INACCESSIBLE TO PHOTOSENSITIVE PEOPLE I BEG OF YOU
Some guy behind me ordered 15 sugars with his coffee and I instinctively blurter out "what the fuck? 15?" with my windows down and I heard him laugh.
