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

Blue Prince. Caranraw could probably, eventually crack it after much frustration, but he feels like it's an excessive amount of work to inherit a house-sized game of 15 puzzle.

Look, I don't know why Death's selection list has been fucked since Prince, but we're going to need an elite heist team of religious scholars, metaphysicists, occultists and a cat burglar and we're going to go fix this shit.

Hey so my irl bestie needs to come up with about $2k for rent and car repairs ASAP. I wanna help but I'm also kinda broke at the moment, so I'm garfing again.

PWYW, $20 minimum. Quick turnaround, perfect for con stickers & cursed gift art for friends. DM if interested + please boost if you can!

Oh yeah, the lights are a menace. I keep most light effects at minimum or turned off, otherwise I have no idea what's happening on screen. It's a repeated complaint.

I'm very much pro a decreased reliance on smartphone and app-based solutions for literally everything but that's not actually what's happening, it's just a paradoxical exclusion where all kids are to be barred entry but also all adults are to be treated like they're 15 anyway

I have at least three family members and several acquaintances who are/were known by a name that isn't their legal one or the one they were born with. Heck, I have former classmates who I know better by nickname than by legal name. It's not a big deal.

FFXIV or something else? Most people I know don't really mind carrying someone through main story instances, but yeah, my reflexes aren't made for fast-timed positionals either.

A weapon made solely to deny families closure, to inflict psychic damage on entire societies. People planned and built this. They sold it to their superiors. They manufactured it. They loaded it on planes and drones and dropped it on human beings.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

The Last Fifteen Minutes A marionette musical and short film about having dinner together before a giant kaiju steps on you.

The Last Fifteen Minutes film Kickstarter is still open for late pledges. We're a union shoot and doing things like "paying health insurance benefits for our non-SAG actors who can't even claim it"! I'm very pro-union, but praxis is costing us a lot of money! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

"This is not Yotsuyu. This is Yotsuyu's secret twin sister, who got into an airship accident several years ago and was presumed dead. She's also engaged to the prince of Nagxia, who is voiced by Kabir Bedi."

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

Children's safety has always been a transparent excuse used by conservatives who either want to take rights away from groups they consider to be barely human, like queer people and sex workers, or in the name of supposedly keeping children safe. Meanwhile they're all in the Epstein files.

The external id service they use has already had a data breach, I'm not sure exactly why they think that anyone would trust them with anything.

Or it's just a ploy to get people to buy Nitro, since you need a credit card for that.

If you deleted 15 years of photos by tinkering on my PC without my consent you probably wouldn't be sufficiently alive to post about it later.
