One of the most famous quotes from "to catch a predator" is one of the creeps whining "well, the internet and real life are two different things."

It was a laughable excuse then and it still is now.

    The weird thing is that Kanye's continual digging through the bedrock has made his art that much more poignant to me. Man went and made himself a Greek tragedy. "Run Away" indeed.

    Give her a tour of the most godawful nursing home to show her future when she no longer has "value."

    Seriously, I feel like the owners of those places would feed their clients to the woodchippers if they could get away with it.

    it gets me so hard everytime.

    Phrasing! Hahaha

    Lots of episodes can get a little violent but the first episode is golden for teaching perspective and that the "bad guys/good guys" dichotomy isn't what it seems, and to be kind to everyone, in a way that is a little easier to digest when they're little.

    Do not underestimate silent film! My kiddo loved them as a toddler. Here are some great starters:

    • The Cook (Roscoe Arbuckle)
    • Sherlock Jr (Buster Keaton)
    • Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin)
    • A Trip to the Moon (Georges Méliès)

    Very engaging with way more visual gags than we usually see nowadays, few title cards, and a chance to talk with your kid about what is happening on screen (Ooh no, Charlie is stuck in the lions cage! How is Buster going to get on that runaway train?)

    And eventually when they're a little older, getting your kid to sit down with you to watch Scorsese's Hugo (2011). It is an absolutely magical loveletter to early film, particularly Méliès' A Trip to the Moon.
