I’m heartened that this new Dark Crystal iteration was a good experience, but I’m a little bummed at the assumption that puppetry is otherwise not to be taken seriously as long-form entertainment. It’s a 4,000-year-old art form, with cultures all over the globe having developed their own unique traditions of it, some…

okay, so I’m going to preface this by saying I love Jim Henson and still cry about his ridiculous death and Big Bird at his funeral is one of my earliest memories, AND that Dark Crystal is my favorite, waaaay over that creepy movie about David Bowie’s dick after he kidnaps a couple kids.

Age of Resistance requires more engagement, and it’s also more rewarding. Viewers are likely to be reminded of Game of Thrones as well as our planet’s imminent ecological collapse.

Any U of M student complaining about someone walking in front of them/cutting them off is ironic; they can’t help themselves but to walk in front of moving cars without looking and expect 1+ tons of moving metal to stop on a dime for them.

There are clear differences between sex and gender (although sex is less “immutable” than you claim), but the crux of this case is that gender discrimination should still be covered by our laws protecting people from sex discrimination, because it is a form of sex discrimination, namely the idea that because you are a…

Gwyneth isn’t worthy to clean her garden wellies. None of us are.

So good luck, Gwyneth.

Petty AF. Jailbird cake? Ticky tacky, GP.

It would be great if they actually were “using their business mediums"-  if each had a psychic on staff to divine some revenge upon the other. 

Imo this is a pretty simplistic reduction of people who live in rural communities to stereotypes of gun owners. Are some of those stereotypes there for a reason? Sure. But just anecdotally, as someone who also grew up in a rural area, the people who own guns for actual practical purposes (predator/ pest control,…

If american cheese and american beer ceased to exist, would that really be such a huge loss?

Man here, who took four years of ballet, three of jazz, and two of tap. Social stigma when I started as a young man in the ‘80s was pretty strong, but I had my own reasons for keeping up with it until I started to play high school sports. Holy shit, the lessons I learned from ballet were applicable in nearly…

There is one good thing to come from Trashcan Lannister’s new clothing line; this twitter thread. “Free Dumb” and “Wrong Direction” are my faves.

I usually scroll past the tweets, but that one with the nonsense about Google stealing votes...If (When) Scumbag donnie loses, he’s not going to go quietly. He would gleefully start a civil war to stay in office; he’s been signalling that for more than a year. How many would buy into that narrative, load up the guns,…

I’m 33 and my thirties are already hands down so much better than my twenties. Fear of ageing is just something people made up to sell you face cream and make you insecure. This is fucking awesome.

My theory is that is bothers people who are upset that they haven’t accomplished as much as the people around them, and feel inadequate.

Man is supposed to make coffee, it is in the bible where it says “Hebrews.”

i used to be a retail pharmacist and, for a VERY short time, worked for cvs. something i learned from working retail - pbm’s are evil. what i learned from cvs - cvs is FUCKING EVIL and INCOMPETENT to the point of criminal negligence.

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…

I’m from the South, and one of my parents has a severe GI thing and can’t eat any spice at all. So, home cooking was bland and dinners out (which were frequent) were at places capable of making something without pepper of any sort. I, too, didn’t eat Taco Bell until high school, nor other Mexican until college, and…
