  • Every movie is a muppet movie waiting to happen.

    “No Country for Old Men”, with the killer played by Sam the blue eagle.

    “Brokeback Mountain”, with Kermit and Foxzie Bear playing the leads, no human roles.

    Rowlf as the unexpected lead in “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Fistful of Dollars”, and “Fistful of Dollars”. In Lawrence of Arabia, only the other British soldiers are played by humans. In the Spaghetti Westerns, the only humans are the women.

    “Smokey and the Bandit”, with Kermit as the Bandit, Rowlf as the trucker, the bride played by a real person, Miss Piggie as Smokey, and Fozzi Bear as the groom/deputy.

    “The Blues Brothers”, starring Kermit and Fozzi as Elwood and Jake. All the other characters are Muppets, but the bands are played by real blues musicians.

    “Brazil”: Kermit as Sam Lowry, Robert Dinero reprising his role as “human” Tuttle, Miss Piggy as Sam’s mother, and Jill Layton played by the only other human.



  • Great apes are closely related to humans BECAUSE humans are great apes. That idea is offensive to many religious zealots, so it’s not a fact often brought up in any conversation unless specifically prompted. This isn’t a logical fallacy you’ve uncovered, just a cultural bias and stigma. Of course a language model will also avoid the topic unless specifically prompted because it’s trained on people and articles that ALL do the very same philosophical dance and mental gymnastics to avoid inciting the ignorant zealots.









  • I’m always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.

    Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?

    What’s wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don’t get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It’s not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you’re just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It’s okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.





  • I’m very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my “to read” list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don’t worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.

    I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I’m done.





  • I don’t understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don’t is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren’t adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn’t much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.

    Sex toys and their packaging aren’t always inherently obscene or explicit. Y’all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.
