What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Happy seventh annual Laura Dern Day, please be reminded that you are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to watch this masterpiece *at least* once today!

The little Hawaiian girl inside me lost her everloving *shit* at this. Menudo played in Honolulu like *all the fn time* and I was absolutely obsessed. I have a scar on my right knee from being trampled at a Menudo concert on my 11th (??) birthday. 20/10 would get trampled again.

It does really hit you that American artists of color continue to make these aesthetically incredible, thematically rich works of art and the white supremacists that rule this country are just complete dullards

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

All of Seattle:

I would watch this all the time.

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

Sorry but I will not “get the fuck over” an agenda that allows trans people to be disappeared from society.

6. people pay way too much attention to the tudors

"elon musk officially left the white house in may to take back full charge of his compani...hold on i am getting an update"

I got one that said "it was so nice to meet you yesterday. You seem nice and like we'd be good friends." I was like haha I haven't left the house in three days and nobody I give my phone number to would call me *nice.*

This is true and so upsetting

Truth in advertising.

Fucking finally!

That’s the difference between technological advancement driven by capitalism rather than creativity.

I have to assume that folks offering unsolicited advice aren't familiar with PDA

LOOK, WE ALL WANT TO FUCK ROBOTS, THAT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, THAT ISN'T THE ISSUE HERE, WHAT I'M SAYING IS...

hey can you come back later, i'm defragging my tulip fields

Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

I don’t know who needs to hear this but white farmers are why we can’t have nice things. Land management & Ag production belong in the hands of Indigenous people. Imagine being fed & actually nourished on every level.

not just people. entire species. a mass dying. colonialism and capitalism are still killing large swaths of the planet. theres 30% less birdsong than there was 50 years ago. because of the choices a few powerful men.

there’s still time for someone to hire cara gee to do an entire camina drummer series

Ok, this is pretty funny. One Condoms is sponsoring a poetry contest. Want your stanzas on a rubber wrapper? Here's your chance. onecondoms.ca/pages/poetry... #poetry #condoms #SafeSex #PoetryCommunity

If you are serious about supporting your neighbors and the vulnerable members of your community, you will also need to go out of your way to address inconvenient needs that have pushed those people out of community in the past. This includes requiring masking and air cleaners.

If you are serious about supporting your neighbors and the vulnerable members of your community, you will need to ask them about their unmet needs and take them seriously when they tell you what they are. You will need to learn not to say sentences starting with "Well can't you just...?"

There's this Chinese restaurant somewhere in Kapahulu (maybe?) we used to go to after doing our Hawaiian culture show at the Hawaiian Regent in Waikiki. It's been elevated to mythic status. We ask each other "Remember that Chinese Restaurant? Not Hee-Hing, the better one."

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Yes, but no. It matters why this specific population of Disabled children (and adults) is the focus in this moment. And that is tied very directly back to Nazi Germany and even before that to Dr. Harry Haiselden and before that to U.S. eugenics and just baseline ableism.

Aktion T4 started with parents asking Hitler to murder their Disabled baby, Gerhard Kretschmar.

😵😵😵😵😵

UPDATE: White Canadians sensitive about their flag

Been hardcore slacking on my PT exercises bc it's annoying to work so hard all the time just to do things like fold laundry. So I haven't been folding laundry either until today and omg I need to do PT exercises so folding these towels isn't a goddamn torture. Help help I did this to myself.

someone else make wild grandiose health claims about mugwort. that shit's super invasive in north america we need to be picking it & blending it into lattes on an industrial scale. white health influencers go drink that instead

The Rick Steves special in the rise of fascism in Europe is such a mind fuck, seriously. Its so good, but also? You get this earnestly nerdy man talk about these horrifying atrocities in the most endearingly chipper voice. My brain just could not even deal.

Child the Younger is out with their dad and texted me to text him that they want some of his salad when they go to lunch. Poor kid gets so stressed out communicating that even when I'm not with them I have to be with them. This is actually a huge improvement from last year though - we will take it.

I am going to give a talk on the physics of punting (with an actual physicist) at CONvergence in Minneapolis in July that they already had to move out of a normal conference room to the big auditorium due to demand, and I highly doubt the NYT is going to send someone to cover it

Ok but I don’t understand why everyone is declaring victory for Van Hollen. He got a photo op and then Abrego-Garcia went back to the concentration camp. What was achieved besides a pulse check (useful) and PR

Yeah, I have disability. Dis ability to bang your mom

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Six months since we got the first indication that my husband might have cancer. Since then it's been one gut punch after another. We are getting closer to deciding between treatment options but things are still very idk. I stare at walls so much. I cry and miss him when he's at work. I cannot deal.

hey it's also ok if you're autistic and you haven't accomplished shit
