I do think that if a puppeteer took an armed muppet to a political press conference, the secret service would wrestle the muppet to the ground and leave the puppeteer standing.

Okay we all have criticism for the hegemonic goliath that is American culture but one thing that I love is the continued practice of treating the Muppets, including the denizens of Sesame Street, as if they are real, living entities. I dunno I think it's a charming bit of collective whimsy.

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

I will beat on my "HP Lovecraft's main source of horror is not the unknown, but your own sense of superiority being challenged and accepting that is fundamental to understanding why his work is almost unsalvagable" drum until I die I think

And not just physics; biology, mechanics, medicine, early human evolution, archaeology, the entire world was completely changing. Man's place in the sun went from a master of a vast domain to a tiny speck in a cold universe, everything we learned made the world so much less explained.

the wikipedia article "Official Cantonese translations of English names for British officials" has a fairly long section about how one english governor got his name translated to toilet bowl and this motivated setting up a translation service for names

The 16th Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Reginald Stubbs, was first given a particularly distasteful Cantonese translation for his name. 史塔士 or Sí Taap Sí was the original Cantonese translation, literally meaning "history; a tower; a vassal". However, the first and the third characters of 史 and 士 share the same archaic pronunciation of the character 死 (sí), meaning "to die", and more troublesomely, the same pronunciation of the character 屎 (sí), meaning "shit".[10] Also, Cantonese speakers sometimes call a toilet bowl 屎塔 (sí taap), being homophones to the first two characters of his newly translated name.[5] Thus, Stubbs's first Cantonese name translation rendered a wide variety of somewhat unpalatable translations and interpretations, like "toilet bowl's shit", "shit tower's death" etc.[11]

CONCEPTUALIZATION - Pity. The jackets are meant to complete each other. If a man were standing alone on a street corner with 'PISSF****T' written on his back, it'd just be an individual that has taken a liking to urine. And 'FUCK THE WORLD' all on its own is, frankly, generic.

lmao no it is not. It just isn't. It is fully within the norm for a negative review where the writer feels strongly. This is Roger Ebert.

"Troy" is based on the epic poem The Iliad by Hunter, according to the credits. Homer's estate should sue. The movie

People don't seem to want to admit that "I would be ashamed to have written any part of this" is shockingly harsh language for the average film review. She's within her rights to say it, and she knew exactly the response she would get for it, but it's definitely an eyebrow-raiser
