Random thought: Considering the chemistry they have with their various human collaborators, Kermit and Ms. Piggy's relationship issues could potentially be solved by an open relationship. #muppets #TheMuppetShow #Kermit #MsPiggy #makesomenoise #dropout

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

top schumering lately. his party's supporters want ICE abolished; he proposes ICE being reformed, & then those reforms are a bunch of half-measures like the agents not wearing masks, & then he waters that down until we land on the agents not wearing masks unless they say they have a reason. 10/10

SAG-AFTRA warns against scammers posing as casting agents, highlighting red flags such as sending money, travel or upfront costs, paying a SAG-AFTRA fee on your behalf, or emails impersonating SAG-AFTRA staff.

As a reminder: No money should exchange hands. You will never be asked to send money for a legitimate casting call. Ever. Not for SAG-AFTRA membership fees. Not for travel. Not for any other casting-related expenses.

I hear my friends
expressing outrage
that a billionaire was asked:
“how do we get rid
of poor people
as a whole,”
and at the same time
I hear my friends
calmly explain
that it’s too much bother
to wear a mask anymore,
and so I fear my friends
are doing their part
of that “how.”

IMDB has flagged Melania the documentary for “unusual voting activity”. Someone is trying to pump up the viewer ratings after critics said it was a worthless piece of shit.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Turns out the secret to a coup is just do it on Friday. The opposition will make strongly worded posts and see what they can do about it on Monday

Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

I will be thinking about this tweet for the next four years

If you're wondering why some of us seem more angry at Democrats than Republicans it's because Republicans loudly announced all the evil shit they planned to do, Democrats fund-raised off of it for months, then after losing the election just slunk away and pouted in a pile of feigned incompetence.

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up

For all federal employees:

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

David Lynch's passing calls me to recall "The Perfect Drug," written for Lynch's Lost Highway, a personal NIN fave, though I'd not ever seen the video for it, it's amazing in a real "More goth, no, more goth than that, what part of 'more goth' do you not understand" sort of way
