anakin skywalker is one of those characters that just does NOT work in a modern setting at all.
you’re telling me that this traumatized teenager who’s part of a religious cult just killed an entire group of people and keeps punching holes in his walls and hanging out with this weird predatory old guy cult leader and also he is unhealthily obsessed with his female childhood friend? death sentence no trial
something i’ve observed recently is that the millennial trend of “i was born in the wrong generation” was obviously escapism but to be part of an earlier, more prosperous time (typically ‘60s-80s aka the boomer heyday). collecting vinyl records because cassettes and cds were modern and lame, dressing up in vintage clothing, idolizing bands like the beatles and the velvet underground, toxic positivity and optimism and pretending it was the summer of love again. it was a desire to exist in a world they’d never truly known to escape the toilet they were actively being flushed down.
i think the gen z obsession with y2k is a fundamentally different desire. gen z misses their childhood because it was stolen from us right as most of us entered adulthood. the covid-19 pandemic stunted our growth for two+ years, mega corporations have taken over the world, the housing market is nonexistent, the internet and modern tech are no longer fun, i could keep going on. the modern world is completely unrecognizable from what it was in say, 2008.
gen z wants to go back home, where they grew up, whereas millenials wanted to time travel to a better world.

Last month, OpenAI said that it is going to introduce ads to users of the free and Go tiers in ChatGPT. The company rolled out ads to U.S.-based users earlier this month amid criticism from rivals like Anthropic, which published a string of Super Bowl ads.
On the sidelines of the India AI summit, TechCrunch asked OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap about how the company is approaching ads. Lightcap said…

something nobody seems to wanna talk about is how utterly and completely ostracized bipolar individuals are. we are considered neurodivergent yet no one includes us in their clubs, their awareness, or their online spaces. words like “bipolar” and “manic” get thrown around like casual, quirky personality traits as if they are not debilitating symptoms of a chronic mental illness. our disorder is used in film as a plot device in horror or a motive for the scary villain. it is dangerous for most people to be open about their disorder— they could be shunned by family, lose their jobs, have their children taken away, have their diagnosis used against them in court or in medical spaces. all because the word “bipolar” comes with incredible stigma. we are seen as unstable, dangerous, and to be avoided at all costs. its not fucking fair that other disorders get included in all of the ‘mental health matters’ conversations but bipolar people will always be looked down upon or shoved away, out of sight.
