Watched Muppet Christmas Carol last night and remembered this tweet

And he was right to do it!

You bring your A game when you work with the best that are the muppets.

Michael Cane doesn't phone in anything not even a phone call

Your options when working across from the Muppets are either Michael Caine’s ‘I am going to be the ultimate straight man and treat this like an RSC production’ or Tim Curry’s ‘I am going to out-Muppet the Muppets.’ There is no middle ground and both of them are hilarious.

We need to change the narratives. Oligarchal shareholder economics is the problem.

Media needs to spend all their time addressing the systematic greed, not exploited individuals.

I’m watching muppet christmas carol for the first time and I want everyone to know that in the opening credits, Michael Caine (who, keep in mind is literally playing the protagonist) gets third billing after Kermit the Frog and Gonzo the Great

@marbledwings omg.

fuck google docs so fucking much

i've just lost hundreds of docs and pdfs and i'm beyond pissed right now

they're all permanently gone

actually they're not holy shit

okay so, gonna tell ya'll something awesome rn

google drive is a mess sometimes with its storage things and if you're unlucky it might delete some of your files and you won't realise until it's well past the point where they won't be in 'trash' anymore and you're fucked

all is not lost however!

if you're on drive via browser, hit the little ? in a circle next to the settings cog and select "help"

search for "file recovery"

it'll show you the ways to try and recover your files on pc, android, and mac etc

these don't matter

you need to scroll down to the bottom and just hit the "contact us"

you'll be logged out automatically

log back in

click the little box to give google permission to attempt to restore your files for that account

click "submit"

give them some time to work but it's an automatic process

i've got most of my files back in less than 10 minutes

all is not lost! rejoice!

I'm gonna reblog this again bc wow but was it helpful to learn!

They couldn't let Geordi in on the "does Data count as a person?" discussion because he would have immediately obliterated anyone arguing he doesn't. Geordi would hear someone try to argue Data's perception isn't real because it's electrical signals or whatever and he'd just be like "so like how my visor works?" and then they'd start backpedaling

Geordi would stand there and make them try to define humanity in a way that excludes Data but doesn't have any weird implications about disabled people and just watch them dig their own graves because they CAN'T. And it just keeps sounding worse

>about halfway through the chapter I wrote a giant duck running past the protagonist with an armful of lemons

>duck says “MY lemons” then runs off

>feel pleased with myself at having granted my fan’s request

>years later I find out there’s another meaning for lemon in the fanfic world

when you’ve honed the fine art of perfectly-timed reblogging of something aimed at one specific mutual and they immediately like it

Tags from @krawdad because i thought this was very cool from a puppeteering perspective

[ID: Image one is a Sesame Street gif of Big Bird throwing a frisbee to Cookie Monster, who promptly takes a bite of it. Image two is a set of tags that read: “#i want to appreciate how wacky a stunt tossing a frizbee to cookie monster is from a practical standpoint #guy inside the bird cannot see out of it. he gets a feed of what the camera sees. #he actually catches the thing the bird actually threw

#and the only reason i can tell they didnt fake it is because cookie monster doesn’t look at the frizbee when he catches it #because the puppeteer was focused on catching the dang thing at all #how many takes must this have taken to pull off #usually you achieve that with a cut #it’s so much easier to just cut to the other character catching a prop #i appreciate the effort #and i want others to notice it #it is also a left handed catch #on a right handed performer #someone else is doing the right hand.” End ID]

It’s also a left-handed throw because the puppeteer’s right hand controls Big Bird’s mouth

this is a really cool puppet stunt o-o

Nobody’s talking about how fucked up it is that he ate Big Bird’s frisbee, okay.

Came across the most charmingly delivered piece of advice on r/houseplants

The diagram is great but my favorite part is the quotes around "purchase"

someone explain the jewish holidays to me like i'm 5 years old

Purim: They tried to kill us, we survived. Let’s tell the story, wear silly costumes, and get wasted. (Optional: have a carnival or a play!)

Passover: They enslaved us, God freed us. Remember this via a big ceremony/feast and then don’t eat bread for a week. This is a big one; you’re going to have to clean your house and host all your relatives.

Tu B'Shevat: It’s Earth Day, let’s eat some fruit.

Simchas Torah: We read the entire Torah every year, and we got to the end! Let’s have a dance party and then start all over again!

Tisha B'Av: They destroyed our temples. That sucked.

Rosh HaShanah: Happy New Year! It’s time to ask (and grant) forgiveness for the wrongs done in the past year, pledge to do better, and wish for a sweet new year. And go to synagogue for HOURS.

Yom Kippur: Rosh HaShanah’s somber counterpart. God decides on this day your fate for the next year. Repent your sins, hope for forgiveness, and fast. (And go to synagogue for HOURS.)

Yom HaShoah: Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Sukkot: Harvest festival! Sleep in a hut under the stars.

Shemini Atzeret: Man, I don’t even know?

Shavuot: God gave us the Torah! That was pretty nice of him.

Chanukah: They busted up our temple and tried to forcibly convert us. We responded with guerilla warfare. Let’s eat some fried food. Candles!

So basically the entire Jewish holiday calendar is giving the middle finger to death and high-fiving, with or without various combinations of prayer and foods.

Yup. Or as we say, “They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat.”

thank you for the desc’s bcs they are beautiful and i am now educated

A handy table for everyone:

Y’all have no idea how happy it makes me to see my goyim followers reblogging this. Really. It means the world to me.

Oh SWEET, a table!

Honestly, that's part of the reason why functioning labels suck

Image Description: A repost of an instagram post from @/teawithqj, with picture of Imani Barbarin, a Black disability blogger and actor, seated on a bunch outside, grinning, with her name printed in pink beside her, with a quote reading:

“I’ve never once overcome my disability, but I have overcome the desire to slap someone every day of my life. 

And that’s what should be celebrated.”

I’ve been making gay knights (and dames) collages on my phone at work

"does it have to be queer"

yes, next question, unless the next question is "why", in which case I am pulling the lever

Could it be more queer?
