...and this morning, the following thought came into my head: "Who cares if I missed out on a great childhood, there's still so much good life left".

Recovery end is actually near :')

Can we please, PLEASE talk about Sharon D. Clarke as Lady Bracknell? MY GOD WHAT A WOMAN. The commanding presence she emanated throughout the play. What a force of nature. She played a constantly disapproving auntie down to a pat! She will have none of this tomfoolery, thank you very much!

And when she threw it down at the curtain call, I was yelling, "YESSSS QUEEN! EAT THEM UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" at my screen.

Oh, what a privilege to watch this. Now excuse me while I go watch this again for as long as it remains up on Youtube.

Here is the tutorial, I don’t get paid doing this and I’m not an expert at this so please don’t think I can answer everything(ask others for help or look up "flying bird mobile" for other tutorials online).

I hope this explains everything enough.

The measurements for mine came out to 15 1/2 inches on the body from tail to beak tip ans the wings 13 inches long(you can make the wings longer if needed)

Please use the comment section below to ask and someone who has done this or understands the mechanics better can answer.

Aside from that I wish you luck and I hope you have fun.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

love that jabba in the original trilogy is like BRING ME HAN SOLO!!! HUNT HAN SOLO ACROSS THE GALAXY!!!! I WILL HANG HIM ON MY WALL LIKE A CHEAP PAINTING!!!! meanwhile chewie who no doubt also cheated jabba out of whatever they cheated him out of has no heat on him whatsoever. even jabba's not ballsy enough to start shit with a wookiee. no solid evidence chewie could rip a hutt's arms off but jabba is not going to be the idiot to test that

Every time I get really angry lately about the state of things and the apparent visible downfall of my country, I try to think of this man

And I think about how angry he must have been when the US tried to cancel PBS in 1969, and how that anger drove him to speak to the Senate about how important it is to care for the mental health of children.

I try to think of this man

and how angry he must have been that there wasn't enough children's television that supported diversity, individuality, creativity, education, and love. And how that anger drove him to work with his friends to start Sesame Street.

My heroes were probably furious, and unfortunately they were probably furious about a lot of the same things I am. They took those feelings and put them toward education, kindness, and belief in the children of the upcoming generations. I need to do the same. It is the only thing that will keep me from having an aneurysm, and the only thing I can think of that might help.

Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it's pure gold.

[evanelleonyx]

This is a professional shitpost roleplay.

[annabellioncourt]

I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

good.store just passed $13,000,000 raised for charity, which is both a lot and an amount that sometimes comes out when billionaires cough really hard.

anyway, why buy your household cleaning supplies, socks, soap, coffee, tea, and more at a regular store that enriches the few when you could buy it at good store and support vulnerable people and ecosystems?

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

I have it in good authority that everyone who donates gets a -terrible- joke in the thank you. You should totally donate a dollar just to see what joke you get.

Hey my birthday is going on and I'd love if you could help me get a wheelchair so I can maybe visit the aquarium or the park or just go on a little walk around my neighbourhood.
