Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

[ravenobviously]

Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.

[emmaubler]

Either you want people to grow and change or you want people to stay evil villains soyou can feel superior as you shame them.

im so confused about the artemis thing because theres that post going around about how its propoganda and they make a lot of good points but people i care about a lot are really excited about it and i dont want to hurt them and honeslty im tired of things that look good being bad

Hey.

The fascists don’t like NASA.

They don’t want stuff like this to happen.

They want to give NASA’s budget to the already bloated military.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine to celebrate a massive peaceful scientific achievement that’s a collaboration between the US and Canada space programs during a time when there’s so much bad news elsewhere.

I personally hope that this encourages a lot of kids to grow up and defend our space agencies.

[indigo-brainspark]

but DO techbros like nasa? a lot of techbros i see are super into the idea of privatized space travel industry and colonizing mars, the first of which nasa is directly opposed to, and the second which nasa isn't really focused on.

the techbros i see really aren't into the type of science nasa does focus on researching, which is far less glamorous than what they want.

[scrungledwung]

Not only do tech bros generally hate the quiet kind of science that NASA does alongside the flashy launches (NASA is a primary reason why we have literally any weather data in the US), but tech bros REALLY hate the other half of the Artemis Program that I don't really hear people talk about much

The Artemis Accords are one of the first large-scale civil policies about space and related activities to come about since the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. NASA wants to hold people (at least a little) accountable for the junk they're leaving in our orbit, and not enough people talked about this shit back when it got signed, so I wanna talk about it now

Artemis Accords - NASA

NASA, in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and seven other initial signatory nations, established the Artemis Accords in 2020.

Hey. Hey, listen to me. You cannot make your moral decisions based on whether bad people like something. If the techbros like pancakes the pancakes don't become bad. If the techbros hate golf the golf doesn't become good. Please think about ethics beyond group associations.

[revcleo]

This is why it was a thing for a while to debate whether or not Hitler was a vegetarian. To try and make being a vegetarian seem to be a nazi thing when like, things have their own morality irrelevant to whether bad people like or do it. Bad people can dance and eat chocolate and go on long walks to look at the sunset. So can anyone.

[agentofawesome]

maybe propaganda isn't the word you're looking for. personally I've been calling it a circus. "give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt" and all that.

reposting this comic i drew 6 years ago in honor of new broters eve

featuring the birth of everyone’s favorite meme

today is an important day

forever my icon

why are people so against negative character development? characters don’t need to improve and become better people they can get worse and make mistakes and end up in a worse state than when they began and it’s just as interesting and entertaining as characters developing positively

A drawing showing how Jim Henson Performed Kermit in The Muppet Movie’s swamp scene.

[tparadox]

This is the best picture I could find of how they customized the Studebaker so Fozzie could appear to drive the car. They crammed the real driver in the trunk. I think he was driving from a video monitor.

[cognitiveinequality]

[doggirlpaws]

Kermit can’t drive and Fozzie’s license was permanently suspended after the incident in 1973

[pangurbanthewhite]

This isn’t the point of the joke but genuinely I love seeing the technical prowess that the Muppets crew of that era had to display in order to set up these iconic scenes.

Another one - Kermit on a bike! It looks seamless! It’d probably be done with CGI nowadays!

The effect, if I recall correctly, was accomplished by affixing Kermit’ feet to the pedals and using wires to tow the bike forward. The spinning of the wheels are spinning the pedals and the pedals are rotating Kermit’s feet rather than the other way around.

But it relies on the tendency of our human brains to seek faces and humanize objects, to create a rock-solid optical illusion that Kermit is the one pedaling.

I have no greater point, I just think that’s extremely neat.

[agentofawesome]

nah i saw the insane work The Henson Company put into the Dark Crystal series, the worst it would be would probably be just digitally hiding the puppeteers. hell probably the exact same pedal rig with someone in a green morphsuit running the head and pushing the bike

Whatever the fuck happened was launched after i went to bed last night and completely rolled back before i got home from work

[parkchanwoohoo]

The anger that drove the making of this is so palpable I can't stop laughing

[agentofawesome]

are you excited for Timberborn to actually release???

...when the hell have i mentioned that game here specifically???

but yes and no, I've played the experimental branch to exhaustion so as cool as automation looks it will be a while before i try it out

op didn’t add a link so here’s a link to his patreon where all of his minis are free to download please support him if you can

[marlynnofmany]

I would absolutely download a dragon, and I’ve already shared this with my D&D group. We’re gonna have some adventures! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

[sufficientlylargen]

This is leaving out the best part of his patreon, which is that he’s been doing polls for “silly models” to create for years, bringing us such wonders as the Baba Yaga Taco Truck, the Horse Head, Goostarian (Goose Astarion), a Pirate Ship Mimic, the Honkdra, and Definitely The Five-Headed Dragon God Tiamat And Not Five Wyrmlings In A Trenchcoat

[aeshnacyanea2000]

@elodieunderglass the Honkdra

[elodieunderglass]

I’m very fond of that Honkdra!

[agentofawesome]

wait pirate ship mimic could be a great encounter if you just played it straight like some kind of massive sea-monster fight
