The image shows Grover, a blue Muppet character from Sesame Street, wearing a pilot’s helmet and sitting on what appears to be the wing of a small pink airplane. The background is a cartoonish sky with clouds and a yellow sun in the upper right corner. Below the image is a caption that reads: “This is for Pearl Harbor, you Canucks!” Grover yelled as he crashed his plane into a Tim Hortons. History was never his strong suit. The scene is comedic and surreal, with a deliberately absurd and historically inaccurate scenario described in the text.

Heads up to the decent folk: Muppet History has returned to social media. He says he’s gotten help for his behavior, but doesn’t say what his behavior was or acknowledge who he (and his wife) hurt. They’ve also deleted their initial apologies and made new content posts. Seems… insincere.

Sexual assault is bad in any capacity, but somehow, reading today’s updates on Neil Gaiman…it’s worse than you can imagine.

The accusations against Neil Gaiman are so shocking that I don’t think I can ever interact with a piece of literature that he touched ever again.

I cannot separate the monster from the art. Neil Gaiman is a sadistic rapist.

I hope he is shunned from society for the rest of his life.

Neil Gaiman shouldn’t be treated like an extreme outlier. It’s not fame or following that enables men like Gaiman to act the way they do. It’s power. And power can be A-list celebrity status or it can be the head of any ordinary household or a leader in any local community.

Fuck Neil Gaiman and fuck Amanda Palmer.

2025 in a nutshell…

Speaking of shut the fuck up Friday, I’ve been seeing some people say that the FBI has contacted them for questioning after seeing social media posts, and my extremely urgent advice is that you should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES talk to the Feds without a lawyer.

There's two ways to play being the only human in a Muppet Movie

Michael Caine: this is the most important act of thespianism in human history

Tim Curry: you try to out Muppet the muppets

Very funny text message to receive from your father in a cadence not unlike that of a family emergency

There is never an excuse for harassment of any kind. The Muppets have taught us: To treat all people, monsters, pigs and frogs with respect. To believe people who are hurting and asking for help. To admit mistakes and learn from them. And the Muppet fandom has taught us that we are a vast tapestry of wonderful individuals, bigger than any one person.

Am going to make use of this repeatedly

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

One of the worst boomer-targeting grifters in Australia is thriving on this site because all the blocking features have left no way to call them out as lying grubs.

What’s the solution exactly? All your detach post and detach block features mean none of their followers will see them be called out.

Plibersek had nature positive deal in writing before Albanese vetoed without her knowledge Exclusive: Environment minister agreed detail with Greens but the PM intervened after lobbying from WA premier and miners

Plibersek has been served up a diet of shit sandwiches all term, and Albanese decided to give her a side dish of roasted shit just to make sure she understood what her role is.

This is very damaging stuff by Albanese. Won't help them in WA but will hurt elsewhere

The simple reason I don't freak out about someone being corny online is it's one of the three things you can be, and the others are normal or evil. Almost nobody online is normal so corny is better than evil

“Social media companies also won't be able to force users to provide government identification, including the Digital ID, to assess their age.”

Every single thing described here — criticism of politicians, boycotts, protests, requests for updated language — is a normal tactic for social change.

These accusations could have been levied (and were!) against suffragettes, the Civil Rights movement, gay marriage campaigners, you name it.

Three Dead, One Injured In Early Morning Fiery Cybertruck Crash In Piedmont A Tesla Cybertruck jumped a curb, hit a cement wall, and burst into flames just after 3 am Wednesday morning in Piedmont, and three of the four occupants in the car died at the scene.

Just over a year ago, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches, the government had suggested age-assurance raised too many privacy and security concerns for every Australian. Guardian Australia has revealed the eSafety commissioner’s own position has previously been that no country has been able to solve this problem. Nothing substantial in the technology has changed since then. So why the change? It appears to be the result of a combination of a months-long wedge from the opposition pushing the government to adopt the policy, public polling backing the ban, and a News Corp campaign that – in a Deidre Chambers-style coincidence – just happened to launch not long after Meta announced it would not enter into new deals to pay for news. On Tuesday, News Corp’s tabloid front pages across the major cities and an editorial in the Australian urged the parliament to pass the bill. Passing the bill now, and it not coming into effect until after the next election serves two purposes: it takes it off the table as an election issue; and it puts responsibility for implementation onto the next government.

I think this is the main thing.
