it's time for my yearly chanukah merchandise ratings! how are there always so many to choose from. as always, this year is a doozy and I am as bitter as ever lmao
this was quite literally labeled "hanukkah cone tree." gee I wonder which winter holiday is The One With The Trees. surely it's the jewish one with all the fire. let's make it blue and white just in case. 4/10 there is no excuse for this
why are the chairs so far apart. why is there nobody there. why are there so many grapes. what even are those green things. why is there soup. will the mysteries never cease. 7/10 purely because it's pretty
I for one welcome our jewish alien cousins. not sure what this has to do with chanukah but I want to hear about jewish life on mars so 8/10 friends come in out of the cold and have a latke with me
the more I looked at this, the worse it got. there's a literal christmas tree and tinsel but oh it's got blue lights so it's fine. and as we all know, children regularly hold fully lit candle menorahs with mittens while going door to door during a snowstorm. I guess who are we to stifle a child's latent desire for arson. 5/10 somebody save that poor dying kitten
this poor magen dovid is being forcefully converted to christianity and we need to help it. quick somebody put this on a sufganiyot stack. 4/10 we all know the intended target audience isn't interfaith families okay
do I even have to say it. please just. just stop. get One (1) Jew to weigh on your hanukkah products, I beg you. -392928373/10 walmart owes me a personal apology for making me see this with my own two eyeballs
I spent a full five minutes staring at this shirt desperately trying to make it make sense. I shouldn't have bothered. it's worse than the hebrew could ever be. 2/10 amposzu zusach mezchamal to you too
congratulations, once again you wrote gibberish. this says nothing. it's not chanukah, it's not happy holidays, it's nothing. the letters on the dreidel are an ACRONYM people! there's an order! 3/10 it's antisemitic that this has over 4,000 sales (thank you @quartzfox for sending this to me. now you all have to see it too.)
now these are CUTE. and the dreidel letters are in the correct order too, which is unfortunately impressive. 10/10 no notes, it has cats, would wear
(previous years 1, 2, 3)
#you know the downside of making this post every year is that.#i then have to crawl through the worst of Holiday Internet#to bring you all the Prime Selection#so you're welcome lmao#i do it so you don't have to 🫡#enjoy this year's ratings!#chanukah#hanukkah#ratings

Rating band names by my likelihood to obey them as commands
Train: 6/10. Not very specific, but regardless of context, I do need to do it more. However, I dislike effort.
Maroon 5: 2/10. Not sure what I am marooning five of, but it seems kind of impractical to do remotely, and I don't particularly want to be stuck on an isolated coast with these five entities.
Journey: 6/10. Only if I'm not tired.
OK Go: 5/10. I'm a big fan of leaving situations. However, if I am already unburdened by the horrors of situations, going might bring me INTO a situation, and that's the opposite of what I want.
Fall Out Boy: 4/10. I don't like conflict for no reason, but thanks for the gender!
Walk Off The Earth: 0/10. Gravity makes this difficult.
Elbow: 11/10. I am always ready to commit violence with my bones.
Meet Me @ The Altar: 9/10. Like the wedding type or the ritual sacrifice type? Either way, I should change outfits first.
Dropkick Murphys: 1/10. I only know one Murphy who I would want to dropkick, but she's probably old enough now for that to be immoral.
Mother Mother: 8/10. I'm told I have a chronic case of mom friend.
Panic! At The Disco: 7/10. The disco is difficult to find these days, but I am constantly in a state of near-panic, so I think I could make it work given the opportunity.
Rise Against: 8/10. Not sure what we're rising against, but I'm typically down for a good rebellion.
Smash Mouth: 9/10. Smash someone's mouth? With what? My fist? My own mouth? I'm usually down for one or the other.
Seal: 3/10. Not very specific. I've licked too many envelopes in the past month and I have no desire to repeat the experience.
WALK THE MOON: 3/10. I do want to do this. However, my opportunities to do so have been severely limited by NASA's security.
Spoon: 9/10. Yeah, I'll cuddle.
Foster The People: 7/10. Depends on the people.
Kiss: 9/10. Depends on who or what I am kissing, but usually there's someone around who is up for it. If not, I will kiss the nearest stuffed animal on their soft little head.
Cage The Elephant: 0/10. Cruel, unethical, and unwise. How dare you.
Rage Against The Machine: 1000/10. Fuck yeah, I will.
Imagine Dragons: 1000000/10. Ohohoho, don't mind if I do.

If you ever catch yourself wondering hey, why doesn't this TV show ratings chart square with my memory of how things actually went down, it's because in the vast majority of cases, when a show goes off the rails, the ratings don't take a dive immediately.
First they have to burn through the established audience's "wait, maybe they're going somewhere with this" optimism, then they have to burn through the established audience's "maybe it's just a mid-season slump" benefit of the doubt, then they have to burn through the established audience's "well, there aren't that many episodes left" morbid curiosity, and only then do the viewership numbers suddenly fall off a cliff.
It actually takes a lot of work to alienate your entire viewership in one go – mere mediocrity isn't gonna cut it!

https://twitter.com/shannonsharpeee/status/1630568238630461441?s=46&t=PGv7U5gYKFFvlwSQLEGoZw this has SO MANY likes and retweets how do you even go about combatting the misinformation :(((
Link for everyone - it's a video of a young alligator getting brushed with a toothbrush. The alligator's body is very tense, and they close their eyes and open their mouth.
Yeah, this isn't cute, and this isn't what a happy alligator looks like. This is one of those cases where it's really easy for people who don't know about reptiles to anthropomorphize - it can look to the untrained eye like the alligator is "smiling."
I think the best way to combat misinformation like this is to provide people with the tools to tell on their own if a crocodilian is feeling content. This video is actually a perfect example of what to look for in a stressed crocodilian - tense body, open mouth, leaning the head back, and clenching the eyes shut are all signs of stress and fear in crocodilians.
A content crocodilian will look much different! They'll be laying loosely, often with their limbs splayed out. The mouth will usually be closed (though they might open their mouth to thermoregulate) and their body will look very relaxed.
Another thing to look for in videos like this - is the crocodilian's mouth taped? No real professional will ever handle a crocodilian without taping their mouth shut, because of the danger crocodilians can pose to humans. Taping the mouth doesn't hurt the animal, and it helps keep everyone safe. Even small crocodilians should always be taped when they're being handled.
In short, this video combines a misreading of crocodilian body language with a lack of common-sense safety precautions - it's an accident waiting to happen!

As part of their strike agreement, Netflix has to release more transparent viewership data and here's how our girls did from Jan to June of 2023.
You can see their article about it here.
And the actual excel file is here if you want to download for yourself
And if you ever want to see how the last 30 days went, Parrot has you covered...

Companies like Netflix generally do this because someone is thinking about making legislation forcing them to. That being said, this is numbers for over 18,000 titles for the period between January - June 2023.

it's time for yet another year of chanukah ratings! that's right folks here are my Very Important Ratings of chanukah memorabilia (or, as I wrote last year with the pun of the century, menorabilia) for this year. Buckle up everyone for a wild ride!
none of these have anything to do with chanukah, but as we all know, chanukah IS the jewish holiday of all time which means it's time to bring out every single piece of even vaguely jewish-related merchandise! 5/10 the transliterations are incorrect
this is most likely a translation error but the thing is I still don't know what was supposed to be there. I want this pillow. I'm gonna start peppering this into my conversations. 7/10 many menorah!
oh no. no no no. why is there always at least one of these. I'm so tired. we have never wanted jewish santa. actually this looks like regular santa just stole those items from a jewish household. maybe santa IS christian after all! 1/10 santa has descended into a life of crime and thievery
it's very funny to me that to goyim chanukah is the live laugh love peace light and joy holiday because of the ~pretty lights~ when in reality it's about a rebellious uprising against our oppressors. AND latkes. 4/10 why is the t in latkes lowercase
no no you see the big floating magen dovid behind thomas jefferson isn't antisemitic, it's just a friendly reminder that jews control the banks! -102938473732/10 hey walmart what the fuck
I for one am ready to accept the hanukkah armadillo as part of the tribe. unfortunately the designers of this were cowards and didn't even give him a kippah or menorah. 6/10 free the menoradillo from bland christmas capitalism and give him a latke
this feels like an advertisement for "I Spy". the menorah isn't kosher. aladdin's lamp is there for some reason. is he jewish? good for him. mizrachi jewish icon. 5/10 scroll back up and read the hebrew
I saved the best for last purely because Tis The Season of the Boob Donuts. once you notice the Boob Donut you can't escape. that's not even how jelly donuts are filled and yet, here we are. 9/10 for boobs and no christmas imagery
#its tiiiiiiiiiiiime!#here it is everyone#feels nice to get all my bitterness out lmaooo#enjoy!#chanukah#hanukkah#ratings#jewish holidays#jumblr#jewish#judaism#jewish humor

Rating every Vampire Emoji
We all know how sexy hot vampires are, so here I am.. rating every emoji of a vampire to see if they're as sexy hot...
Apple
They're okay.. It's apple, it's just okay.. except for that hair girl u need a better haircut maybe get some layers in. This is one of the only few that's actually white white, which is an interesting choice, but I'm not sure how I feel about the dark-skin variant... it's a little, uh... 4/10
Google
Guys hear me out... he/they is kinda bad tho.. it can be argued the art isnt as good as Apple, but I'm not rating this on good art, I'm rating this on sexyness, and this is a sexy vampire. The hair is so fluffy.. and that widows peak, hot damn! If I walked into a mansion and this vampire insisted I stayed for the night I would stay no questions asked. Tbh I'd get down on my knees and beg him to bite my neck. 10/10
Samsung
looks too much like a 7 year old with an ugly ass orange vest, and I dont vibe with a vampire that wears an orange vest. 0/10
Microsoft
Looks like he's 50, could be a dilf... I'm not typically into dilfs but if you're a loving father and a vampire I WANT YOU SO BADLY. but i can't do higher cause the collar and vest are two different colors of red, what the fuck 7/10
Windows
The collar looks like a medal.... a medal for what... sucking men? 2/10
WhatsApp
This alone could replace the LGBT flag and it would represent us.. what the fuck, this is the gay whore emoji... you can TELL he enjoys men 6/10
Twitter
I love the huge goofy teeth, I don't think they're that sexy. I have to be honest, also a twink.. Imma give it like a 5.. would have been 4 but I love the fat fucking teeth. 5/10
Facebook
love the expression and hairstyle and I gotta be happy there's finally a vampire with a ruffle.. ruffles are THE sexiest thing a vampire could wear, but they aren't my type... 2/10
LG
This just reminds me of the apple one, idk why its just the vibe.. only different is it lacks pizzazz and it looks like a weird fucking butler with that out of place bowtie.. when in the world has a vampire worn a bowtie? 3/10
So.. the award for the sexiest emoji vampires goes to:
🥇 Google
🥈Microsoft
🥉WhatsApp

Video game ratings boards tend to frown on depictions of harm to children, particularly very young children; basically, if you explode a baby, you’re probably not going to get that E10 rating.
However, a number of published games have managed to explode babies without suffering a ratings bump by making it a giant baby – more specifically, a giant baby boss fight.
This suggests that once a baby is large enough, it no longer counts as a baby, at least not for ratings purposes. Are there specific rules governing this? Do they have to measure the baby? Or are giant babies, like pornography, an I’ll-know-it-when-I-see-it proposition?

Toastystats: F/F, F/M, & M/M on AO3
Chapter 3: Ratings & Smut
New chapter up! One of the main things I've found is that if we look at how likely each relationship category is to be explicit, F/F < F/M < M/M:
And (as @flourish put it on @fansplaining episode Femstats February) it's not just that F/F is less likely to be tagged Explicit -- it's more likely to be tagged General Audiences (the Teen and Mature and Not Rated ratings are similarly likely in all the categories).
(This isn't mainly due to word count differences, btw -- it turns out that this "explicitness gap" exists for fanworks of every length I investigated! See the chapter for more graphs/discussion.)
One thing I wondered about was how much of this was due to the source material -- e.g., I know there are some canon F/F cartoon pairings, and what if it turned out that a lot of people liked to write F/F cartoon fic that is rated GA? To try to factor out that kind of source material bias, I decided to also look at ratings for Original Work posted to AO3:
Whoa! It turns out a WAY HIGHER percentage of Original Work is explicit than for fanworks, in all categories. Interestingly, F/M and M/M are equally likely to be explicit when you look at Original Work. But F/F is still less likely to be have the Explicit tag than the others. I'd love to hear thoughts/theories about this!
I also looked at reader feedback. When we look at the fanworks with the most kudos, we get a different ratings breakdown again:
Amongs the most popular works, F/F is once again less likely to be tagged Explicit than F/M and M/M -- but it's more likely to be adult (Explicit + Mature). And now F/M is most likely to be tagged General Audiences.
Also interesting: Explicit works get more kudos on average than the other ratings, regardless of whether the fanworks are F/F, F/M, or M/M. (See graphs and further discussion in the chapter.)
Read more on AO3 for more analyses of what people write and how readers respond -- including a look at the most common sex acts and kinks that get tagged. (Also see the chapter for corrections, clarifications, methods, and deeper discussions.)

Is this video cute? I’ve been wondering about it for a while, and the more I think about it the iffier it gets. Thanks :)
(If the link doesn’t work, it’s a bunch of baby crocodilians in a bathtub and you could probably find the video by googling that)
Good news - everything about this video is super cute. First, some immediate green flags: this is posted by Croc Fest, which is a legitimate conservation organization (with a very fun crocodile-focused page you should totally follow if you're on FaceBook), and features babies being raised at Dragonwood Conservancy, who run an excellent breeding and release program for critically endangered Cuban crocodiles like these.
The cute noise these babies are making isn't anything communicating distress at all. Cuban crocodiles are very social, and this is the noise they make when communicating with older crocodiles in their group. Dragonwood hand-raises their Cuban crocodiles because the parents are so protective, and these babies are making that noise because they know their caretaker is safe and brings them food.
These babies don't feel uncomfortable or distressed in the slightest. Their body language is content and some of them are actively climbing on their caretaker, just as wild Cuban crocodiles would climb on older crocodiles.
Everything about this video is good, and it's one of the rare crocodilian videos to earn a cute rating! These babies are in a professional setting, being treated respectfully, and are part of an excellent program to help secure the future of their species. Great all-around!
