I've putzed around on TikTok a number of times and I'm thrilled to say I absolutely hate it. It means my attention-span is still longer than four seconds.

Love the article about not seeing the baby. Remember the Seinfeld episode with a similar plot?
A couple first expects a baby then expects the world to ooh and ahh over that baby. Then they expect their baby to be a genius. Too many expectations. I am proud to say I was not one of those moms. When one couple with older kids wanted hubby and I to bring our twin toddlers to their home it was solely for their viewing pleasure. (Or to feel the relief of not having toddlers anymore.) Hubby and I chased our toddlers around their home trying to keep them safe while our audience pointed and giggled. We learned fast and stayed home.
There's an earnestness to a lot of those series that makes them hit harder than expected, too. I stan Naoki Urasawa's Monster and Pluto partly for that.
Monster is certifiably something special. I do appreciate that earnestness, it's practically a signature. I need to catch up with civilization and read Pluto.
I knew nothing about Pluto going in, so the final act was a massive surprise. Monster is still my all-time favorite anime/manga and anyone reading this should absolutely check it out.

In the land of five-second attention spans, the half-hour man is king.
Good one, Fancy 👏

Thank you! For both the praise and parental sanity.
Yayy! Thank you!
Never heard of Oshi no Ko. Looks intense.
Well-earned, kick me an address when you get the chance.
I'm warming up to Oshi No Ko. Every time it starts to feel a little familiar, the author pulls a load-bearing Jenga block.
