I think its so funny (sad) how my TikTok fyp is Political videos and Sesame Street. Everyone is so stressed out Elmo is back telling us take a break and do Positive Affirmations.

Elmo is really hitting the ketamine lately.

Happy Birthday to Louie and Elmo, “The Fat Cats.” Their first and only cartoon “Drip Dry Drips” directed by Jon McClenahan, was released on Cartoon Network’s “What a Cartoon!” on July 16th, 1995. Ken Hudson Campbell and Hank Azaria voiced the brothers Louie and Elmo. Tony Cervone and I created “Fat Cats” at StarToons in Chicago. It was the first cartoon that we wrote and boarded together.

if these tech bros are such genius-wizards, then how come I keep stealing all their shit? Screencapping an image generator so I don’t have a stupid watermark, running urls thru archive.ph to get past paywalls (how embarrassing for you, Wired.com!), ripping songs from youtube videos into MP3s. not high level stuff, but it’s saved me money, time and trips to the library.

on this tully tuesday, fuck you ryan condal, i see what you're doing. merging kermit and oscar tully and killing off their dad elmo without even naming him, you're trying to hide the muppet-naming pattern by only including the more mundane names. people may have heard of the name grover elsewhere like nonconsective us president grover cleveland, and certainly would with oscar like oscar mayar, the baloney/weiner man, but if you hear the names elmo and/or kermit you're thinking muppets right away. smdh, if you can embrace the gothic horror of harrenhal, you should be able to embrace the whimsy of grrm naming his dance-era tullys after sesame street muppets.

Dump X and Elmo Musk along with it!

Why are people paying this guy? Typically resistance 101, don’t kiss the ring https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/10/elon-musk-la-fires-misinformation-california-palisades/

In 2016, far right trolls helped to give Donald Trump the presidency. In 2020, their efforts to do again were thwarted — barely — by attempts to limit the impact of disinformation and violence. But in advance of 2024, Elmo has reversed all that. Xitter has preferentially valued far right speech, starting with Elmo’s increasingly radicalized rants. More importantly, Xitter has preferentially valued speech that totally undercuts rational thought. Elmo has made Xitter a Machine for irrational far right hate speech. The one thing that may save us is that this Machine for Fascism has destroyed Xitter’s core value to aspiring fascists: it has destroyed Xitter’s role as a public square, from which normal people might find valuable news. In the process, Elmo has destroyed Twitter’s key role in bridging from the far right to mainstream readers. But it’s not for lack of trying to make Xitter a Machine for Fascism.

Earnest Jones HCs 🍃

(retches)

alright hear me out

this man is pretty damn mid outside of his (cough) convincing personality

he's not particularly smart or clever. he just knows how to maintain the appearance of being a Leader

does he care for his friends? loosely. but its moreso a pride thing. their successes are His successes because he's such a guiding figure in their lives

even if hes outspoken about his distaste for some of their interests, like Theater and the Arts

melvin does most of the plotting for him in all honesty. he'd be lost without his grotto mastermind

that being said earnest Was head of the debate club for some time.

this boy debates like a conservative he sounds like Muskrat. bouncing around using big words switching topics that only loosely fit together. he sucks.

the debate club was disbanded after earnest was frankly humiliated onstage.

how, you may ask?

context first. gary often refers to him as a muppet

called him anything from bert to earnie to elmo. but mostly kermit the frog

and well. earnest's favorite band was talking heads.

so one night in the auditorium, big event, an opponent from the next school over. full audience. petey gave gary the great idea of pulling out a projector. and playing that kermit the frog cover of once in a lifetime on the curtain behind earnest and his opponent

thad was howling. so was cornelius. bucky was recording. beatice almost pissed herself. algie Did.

earnest got so so so red he shouted obscenities at the audience and fled the stage within one minute, forfeiting the match and promptly disbanding the club out of dishonor.

everyone in school knows the lyrics to once in a lifetime now

and they never let him live that down

constantinos did The Walk behind him onstage during his class president speech

anyway unrelated to that whole thing. that laptop in the nerd lair at dragon's wing comics belongs to him

and dear god its full of so much porn. jimmy took one look and decided he needed to wash his hands after nudging the trackpad

if bully took place a few years later earnest would print out pepe the frog memes and hang a kekistan flag in his room.

this guy sucks

Recently watched: MaXXXine (2024). Tagline: “She’s gonna be a star no matter what it takes!” MaXXXine, of course, represents the hotly anticipated concluding chapter of the juicy elevated horror trilogy beginning with X (2022) and the prequel Pearl (2022) by director Ti West and leading lady Mia Goth. I’ve been yearning to see this one for what felt like an eternity. Its trailer (soundtracked by the Laura Branigan classic “Self-Control”) was so tantalizing it tormented me! We watched MaXXXine last weekend and it was - OK! I felt like I was willing it to be better. Of the three films, MaXXXine is definitely the slightest and flimsiest entry. Maybe my expectations were unrealistically high and the remarkable Pearl (which I consider a modern masterwork) set an impossibly high bar for this follow-up. Anyway, there is still much to enjoy. Set in 1985 Los Angeles, MaXXXine unfolds against a backdrop of satanic panic paranoia, the rise of Tipper Gore’s censorious Parents Music Resource Centre, Ronald Reagan’s presidency and the Night Stalker’s reign of terror. Goth returns as driven, burning-with-ambition porn starlet Maxine Minx. Now 33, she knows it’s now or never if she’s ever going to transition from skin flicks into legit cinema (well, a low-budget slasher movie entitled Puritan II in this case). “In this industry, women age like bread not wine” she laments. But just as stardom finally seems within Maxine’s grasp, her friends start getting gruesomely picked-off one by one by a serial killer … MaXXXine boasts an authentically scuzzy, grungy discount bin VHS vibe. The soundtrack pumps with 80s tunes (ZZ Top. Frankie Goes to Hollywood. “Obsession” by Animotion. Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes.” John Parr’s theme tune to St Elmo’s Fire. And yes, Laura Branigan). Aficionados of 1980s trash cinema will revel in West’s references to the likes of Savage Streets (1984), Brian De Palma’s Body Double (1984), Vice Academy (1989), Angel (1984) and Avenging Angel (1985). Goth is a riveting, singular presence and one of THE great actresses currently working (The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw aptly called her the Judy Garland of horror). MaXXXine is a pulpy, grisly down-and-dirty summer thriller – just don’t expect another Pearl!
