In episode 402 of The Muppet Show, the Prairie Dogs steal Kermit’s collar and he laments that he feels naked without it.

Per the wiki. Surely that explains everything.

Everyone and their dog knows it’s genocide. How many officials have to point it out? How do we stop them?

She’s also a stellar example of inequality and the mechanics behind it, imo. Being a trans woman has not made her a champion of queer rights. Belonging to a marginalized group doesn’t automatically make you a good person or even a non-oppressive person.

Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.

I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐

I don’t doubt that Steam is rife with antisemitism but we need to stop listening to the ADL.

Yup. I don’t understand why people are talking like Harris isn’t also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that’s a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

Queer people who live in the bible belt still say “y’all”. It literally means “you all”.

I guess it’s because his Discord server was where he leaked them? I feel like someone who doesn’t use Discord could read this headline and assume he worked for the company, though.

Personal answer: I draw art for a stupidly niche internet community. I’m a less popular artist so I go wear the community already is. I found one other artist on Mastodon and several on Bluesky.

I maintain that what people mistake for porn addiction is just depression or possibly ADHD. Constant masturbation is a series of easy dopamine hits. If you quit cold turkey without making any other changes, you’ll probably just replace it with social media or gacha games.

Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, people who don’t want you to talk about the legal risks because they think you’re trying to discourage them.

Fight the power, but know what you’re doing. That’s how you minimize risk.

Yooooo thank you for including audiobooks!

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Is this bot generated? It has all the right words for a “wise” quote but makes no sense. Is the wise man also rich? Why are we specifically contrasting “the wise man” with “the poor man”?

Remember when people tried to make it an offensive gesture that he was just sitting there

For people with physical jobs, try a little weight lifting. You don’t have to be the best or lift super heavy weights for it to be useful.

It’s one thing to have signs up at work reminding you to lift with your knees. It’s another thing to really learn, through constant practice, how to move your body safely, and activate muscles you never thought about. You won’t need signs to remind you, and you’re less likely to lift something stupidly and fuck up your joints even if you’re in a hurry, because correct technique will be burnt into your brain.

I know it’s not exactly obscure knowledge but a lot of people don’t bother unless they’ve got some kind of body goal. I’ve found it to be an educational experience even if I’m not a bodybuilder.

This is nice as I have a ton of games I haven’t opened since my family accidentally broke my Switch. Never bothered to repair or replace it since I keep worrying that as soon as I do, the next console will be announced.

Been playing Sonic X Shadow Generations after falling off Sonic in 2006 and every time a song from SA2 plays, every part of my brain lights up

I change details a lot. Get the catharsis of pouring my soul while hopefully confounding whatever dipshit would think I’m a good target.

My name maybe has some letters in common with “Alice”.

I’m convinced it’s because we want to be loved, but most people will settle for someone just feeling positive about some superficial aspect of them.
