stuff i remembered to write down from the discord stream

yellow is becky’s favorite character “because he’s a silly goofy guy” and joe’s favorite is duck

their shared fave webseries ep is computer and fave tv is family, becky thinks joe is just copying her

joe’s current favorite song is memories and becky’s current favorite is love

joe jokes they made the show just to sell merch

becky’s favorite designs are lesley and choo choo, joe’s favorites are the simple silly ones

becky describes her own voice as “a victorian schoolboy”

“becky will give every single person [that attends the show] ten pounds 😊” “from joe’s bank account 🤗”

dhmis 1 was originally about a little girl as a teacher but becky hated making human puppets

they think it’s “amazing and cool” that autistic audiences resonate with the show

their advice for new puppeteers is go to the gym and lock yourself in a fridge

becky and joe were walking to the station into a friend after wracking their brains for a title and she was holding some mini models and becky jumped up to hug her and the friend said “don’t hug me i’m scared!” and that’s where they got the name from

there’s a cut scrunty episode that follows it after it runs out of the cat flap

warren was made of silicon and lilly and todney had a lot of details making them the hardest to make

duck’s autotune was removed “to allude to the way the government is controlling us- no, basically because it was too annoying”

(someone says thank you for creating and voicing red guy) “you have no idea how much that means to me. i’m in a very low place in my life, not a lot of compliments every day, i’m going to dress as red guy every day”

they cited the hugga bunch, bruce bickford, and sally cruikshank as some influences

they’re open to adding a latin american character or a drag queen character

they’re interested in doing a physical release of the show and want to announce an international release soon

one of joe’s favorite shows as a kid was the trapdoor, becky liked zap and the movie chitty chitty bang bang

they want to announce new episodes as soon as they can but it’s an expensive and time consuming show to make so they haven’t been renewed yet

the pilot will be never be released since the company that owns it went under, they think it’s “nothing special” and they aren’t proud of it, they recommend watching “anything else”

During the Troubles, Civil Rights Leaders went to Ireland to learn about the plight of the Irish people and to support their fight against colonialism.

Standing on the success of their nonviolent principles which led to civil liberties here (to whatever degree the CRM was successful) and in their ignorance of the history of Ireland, they tried to get the IRA to adopt nonviolent, peaceful civil disobedience.

At the end of their tour of Belfast, where they learned the history and politics of Irish resistance, all of them come to the conclusion that here violence is necessary. The Irish have exhausted all other means including nonviolent ones. Even if some of the CRM leaders maintained nonviolence as paramount, they understood that certain exceptions must be made because — regardless of if they approve of violence or not — their job is to support colonized people and follow their lead.

There is a lesson here that we should apply to the Palestinian struggle.

I’ve seen people pearl clutch over seeing so many dead Palestinians as part of the colonial violence of the camera. This misses the point of why those images are being shared.

Last decade many Black americans, myself included, talked about the commodification of Black death. videos of state murder plastered on every news channel 24/7, going viral across social media platforms connected to the legacy of lynching postcards and gator bait. We demonstrated that those videos rarely got an indictment and only once a conviction. Many of the families of these victims of police murder made it clear they don’t want the image of their loved one to be of death. The reason why we share Michael Brown’s graduation photo instead of the photo of his corpse is because Lesley McSpadden demanded it. With all this in mind, we understand that in most cases the sharing of those images are antiblack.

The Palestinians do not have that history. The Nakba never happened, despite israelis calling this the second Nakba. genocide joe said 40 israeli babies were beheaded after it was found out that the story was some wingnut footsoldier’s lie, not even official israeli hasbara. It was like 2 weeks ago that genocide joe said the number of murdered Palestinians (at the time around 5,000 Palestinians were martyred — the number is now over 10,000) was a Hamas lie.

Linguistically there is no murdered Palestinian. All the headlines read “x amount of israelis killed and some palestinians died”. visually there is no dead Palestinian. official israeli hasbara is trying to flood social media with videos of patient-actors getting into place in Indonesian medical training programs to “debunk” the countless videos of martyred Palestinians.

The denial of the scale of israel’s genocide of the Palestinians is so bad that reporters in Gaza are holding dead children in front of press cameras because Palestinians do not die and are not murdered.

The profit motive of these images is actually in their absence. not their over saturation like with Black americans. The west needs israel as a destabilizing force in the middle east. The strategy of the western media then is to bury these images, to not give them a second of attention. So logically the Palestinian strategy is to proliferate these images to show just how horrifying israel’s crimes are.

Two things can be true at the same time; what works for you doesn’t necessarily work for me etc.

The other thing i’m seeing are liberal frameworks to understand genocide. Of particular ire is desirability politics. *jujubee voice* just say white supremacy.

Desirability is tertiary at best. israel is genociding Palestinians because they want control over Gaza and the West Bank (and Lebanon too). They are not genociding Palestinians because Palestinians are “undesirable.” They make Palestinians undesirable to justify taking their land. Talking about this psychoanalytic bullshit distracts from the primary reason for the displacement and mass murder of Palestinians: the taking of their land.

~*desirability*~ is just one way that israel tries to justify its crimes. Desirability is a circular logic that can only make sense once you manufacture its premise irl. It means nothing without the material conditions it claims are true. Its super easy to call someone an animal after you put them in a cage. It’s super easy to call a people dirty savages after you restrict their access to water. It’s super easy to call someone violent after you sequester them in small, barely livable spaces and stress them with bombings and check points.

It’s also — there’s a way in which opposition to something reifies the very thing that you oppose. Toni Morrison continues to beat everybody’s ass. What does it do when you see a baby with half a skull and say “this happened because she is undesirable”? Undesirable to whom? Not me.

Palestinians are not so passive as to oppose white supremacy and desirability. The Palestinian people are a proactive people. Palestine is the issue. Palestine has a people. Palestine has an ecology. Palestine has life. Palestine is life. Palestinians fight for life. life can neither exist nor blossom under white supremacy.

Any analysis that does not begin with this is a distraction. And distractions only benefit the colonizers.

Now that you’ve done your fave looks from the oscars how about the worst fashion from this year’s Oscars?

thank you so much for enabling my hater tendencies. like I said picking out the worsties isn't NEARLY as fun at the Oscars as it is at the Met Gala because people are taking fewer risks in general, so even the "bad" looks tend to be more "meh" than "go to prison," but here are the ones that I Did Not Care For.

first up an obligatory mention of every man who wore a plain black suit. I'm targeting Austin Butler in particular because he didn't even zhuzh it up with interesting accessories like some of his fellow offenders.

Sabrina Dhowre Elba I'm sorry you're very beautiful but you are literally wearing a greenscreen. someone photoshop a tiger on her ASAP. also what's the little knotted detail? I don't get it.

this isn't totally unforgivable but Florence Pugh is serving dirty napkin on the sidewalk. in a bolder color I think I might have enjoyed this?

I feel bad targeting Elizabeth Banks when she seems to have suffered the wardrobe malfunction of the night but it does just look kind of crumpled and unfinished, especially around the hem.

I hate to shit on a man who's actually trying to do something other than basic black but uuuuuh I'm about to do it several times in a row. I don't like Barry Keoghan's sunburst button things, they look like something that would have been cute on the Stranger Things boys circa season one but not on a Grown Ass Man

I don't know who Paul Mescal is but based on this I'm assuming he's headlining a show in Atlantic City

and Paul Dano is giving us "magician going through a divorce who's desperately trying to hold it together through this bat mitzvah because he needs the money"

absolute rock bottom has got to be whatever is going on with All Quiet on the Western Front producer/screenwriter (?) Lesley Paterson. I compared Salma Hayak's dress to an unconventional materials challenge winner on an early season of Project Runway; Paterson's look is more reminiscent of what happens when designers run out of time and send models down the runway in a poorly cut garment held together with staples and hope. genuinely an eyesore I am sorry Miss Paterson!

10 - Epic Fail: CBS Reporter Fails Miserably Trying to Get Chase Bank CEO to Smear Trump

First, Lesley Stahl attempted to get Jamie Dimon to agree that Trump’s tariffs are “bad for the economy,” but to her shock, Dimon dropped a reality check on her, saying, “I think you should read The Art of the Deal.”

Dimon explained that tariffs can “absolutely” be a useful tool when used the right way, helping to address unfair competition, protect national security, and fix issues with supply chains.

In a further blow to Stahl’s narrative, Dimon pointed out that policies like green energy subsidies and EV credits often don’t actually help rural areas much at all.

“They still didn’t have jobs, incomes didn’t go up, their schools weren’t working,” he said, stressing that these communities feel left behind, regardless of government programs.

The exchange ended in glory when Stahl tried to spin the narrative that Trump was being cold to Dimon and ignoring his calls.

To Stahl’s dismay, Dimon cleared the air and revealed that the story was completely false. “I called and left a message with his staff, and they called back saying the president appreciated it,” Dimon clarified.

This hit job failed miserably, and it is glorious to witness. Credit to ChiefNerd for the video.

9 - DeSantis Threatens to FIRE Officials Who Don’t Obey Trump’s Deportation Orders

Remarking illegal aliens who exploit natural disasters by looting homes “need to be sent back immediately,” DeSantis added some government officials who stand in the way of a mandatory federal deportation order will be removed.

“Now the accountability is significant. If those duties are clear in law, I have the authority with respect to certain officials to suspend them from their office if they are neglecting their duties. And that’s an authority that I have invoked when it’s been appropriate in the past,” the Republican governor told reporters at a press conference Monday.

8 - Whoopi Goldberg blames the wind—says “nothing” could have prevented California wildfires.

“Mother Nature does what she does. And if you’re in the way, this is what happens.”

The actress-turned-commentator insisted the catastrophe was “nobody’s fault” while giving her take on the cause:

“There was a fire catastrophe in California. Had to do with winds. You know how they always say, ‘Oh, the wind.’ It actually does. The winds move things, and sparks move things, and it doesn’t matter how much water you have if 900,000 buildings go up at the same time.”

7 - Michael Cohen begs and grovels so hard for a pardon from Biden that even MSNBC has to admonish him.

COHEN: "I would expect that the same exact pardon that he gave his son."

SANDERS: “To be very clear, you're not the president’s son."

Oof.

“Competence matters,” he says.
