During Jim Henson's first show, Sam and Friends, he often pushed the bounds of puppetry. His most infamous pursuit is a muppet called Ophel, built out of animal bone and sinew to create "a better illusion of life". "It's like he had a mind of his own" said Henson, "We got rid of him after one show."

During this later interview, Henson admitted that Ophel scared everyone in the crew. "I think I went too far. Nobody liked how he moved... He was unpredictable to control, twitchy. And God, he stank." The single 1960 episode featuring Ophel, except for one frame, has since become lost media.

If this is not a fireable violation of journalistic ethics, there simply is no such thing

not that it will change their votes at this point and this has long been the case but henry cuellar, don davis, and vicente gonzalez should probably not ever know another moment of peace. henry cuellar: 202-225-1640 don davis: 202-225-3101 vicente gonzalez: 202-225-2531

This year as we said goodbye to Rob Reiner and David Lynch, the amount of stories of their kindness, their decency, and their humble bravery (and how these qualities informed their storytelling) stood in sharp contrast to the shallow arrogance we see every day on the news. Better is possible.

locked the office (not home) 8pm friday night, opened it 9am monday morning, there is a singular toenail clipping, resting on the shared desk.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

this really is becoming a December to Remember (derogatory)

imagine being proud of being from earth.....

i hate it here

BREAKING: 2 elderly people found dead at Los Angeles home of film director Rob Reiner. Identities not yet confirmed. Detectives investigating - NBCLA

yooooooooooo what the fuck (rob reiner)

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Always thinking about this bit of dialogue from Jedi: Survivor

Bush v. Gore was an unambitious declaration of war by Republicans against democracy and the rule of law. Republicans made clear they didn't view those principles merely as malleable concepts they could cynically bend; no, they see those principles as fundamentally incompatible with conservatism.

RFK Jr. needs to be handed off to Pinhead and the fellas immediately. Win/win. He gets to have fun getting gibbed by BDSM meat hooks for all eternity and we don’t have to watch polio rip through every homeschool community

I had completely forgotten that clarissa's mom smokes and it's just a thing she does in an early 90s nickelodeon show

now that megaman 12 has a release date we can finally confirm that clarissa explains it all takes place in the year 2027

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

it was an accurate assessment imo. the "he is the chosen one" garbage always reeked of coming from some guy who took too many mushrooms & turned into a wannabe cult leader. the existing cult (jedi) tolerated him like that embarrassing uncle who needed to be humored so he'd stfu and go take a shower
