Hate is a strong word because it’s been getting quite a workout lately.

Until it directly affects them, there is no limit, no bottom. The cruelty of it all is just astounding.

Never gonna happen. And the people who NEED to see the truth never will, because the media they consume won't show it to them.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

The woods were dark and foreboding, and Alice sensed that sinister eyes were watching her every step. Worst of all, she knew that Nature abhorred a vacuum.

It's heartbreaking; seeing things get worse day by day, and feeling powerless to stop it.

I wish I shared your confidence. Every guardrail put in place to keep this fascist administration in check has either failed outright or bent the knee; I can't imagine the military not doing the same. Orders are orders; legal or illegal, they're expected to obey them.

The very first sandwich I learned to make myself when I was a little kid was peanut butter and tuna salad (with the mayo, celery, and onions in it). It was delicious back then, but the thought of eating one now? 🤢

Panel 1
 The shallow end of a swimming pool. A swimmer says "I got tired of hearing About so-called 'Infinity pools', so I created a genuine one. This is my first length". 
"Good luck!" replies an onlooker standing by the steps.

Panels 2-4
The onlooker waits for the swimmer to come back. Time passes. The sun sets and rises. the onlooker ages.
 
 Panel 5
"Impressive." says the onlooker, now old and walking with a stick.

This is one of my very favorite images, as it features characters performed by Jim Henson throughout his life holding photos (or, in the case of Ernie, drawings) of him at about the period he was performing the character. Among the Muppets shown: Cantus, Dr. Teeth, the Swedish Chef, Sam, Link Hogthrob, Ernie, Kermit (two iterations), and Guy Smiley.

Jim Henson would've been 89 years old today. Commemorate his life and legacy by celebrating creativity, diversity, imagination, peace, and just plain silliness.

Walk with me a bit while I talk about Jim and his work--and leave your comments about what he means to you.

Right this way. /1

"I let my principles get in the way of things. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish."

Channel 4 aired the first episode of 'Spaced' on this day in 1999.

This 8-episode season every 2-3 years crap is ridiculous. There’s just no way to tell a satisfying story this way. Alien:Earth deserved better.
