What happens when all the Pokémon fans are dead? Chris Plante on how Pokopia lets you rebuild your childhood, if only for a moment

Pokopia is the Pokémon series' midlife crisis:

It's a story about how original fans have moved on to kids, jobs, and caring for their parents. Here's one last chance not to relive that original game, but to rebuild a forgotten feeling. Like a sandcastle. And we all know what happens to sandcastles

“Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement. - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

"Podcast" does not mean "bad lighting and the microphone is in the shot"! "Podcast" means "not dependent on any commercial entity for distribution or content approval or monetization". That's a big fucking deal. It's radical! www.anildash.com/2024/02/05/w...

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

I have no idea how this play (three separate plays connected by the history of a memory of a TV episode) structurally fits into a screenplay. Which is why Boots Riley is a perfect fit to adapt it

The Soul Forged in Friction I remember watching my daughter struggle with her shoelaces.

Excellent piece.
“Every reduction in friction is sold as liberation: freed up for creativity, freed up for higher pursuits. But freedom from what, exactly? Freedom from the very activities that build capacity, that create meaning, that forge identity, that make us feel we matter.”
