“either hilarious or incredibly sad” Why not both?

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Would be nice to have a govt that even just does the bare minimum of saying these people are bad instead of pandering to them

SO many nazis in central London today. Never seen anything like it. men screaming about going “back” to god, leading chants of ENGLAND TILL I DIE, waving their fucking English and Welsh and Irish flags around with messages written on them

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

As a British person of a particular age, it’s also reminding me a lot of 90’s television. There’s a bit of Knightmare in there (as well as the board game Atmosfear). The sassiness of the Cryptmaster himself also keeps making me think of Richard O’Brien from The Crystal Maze

this is not necessarily ideal for everyone. it requires a lot of interpolation. but i think if you're really into The Dark Crystal the work print is very worth watching and considering.

anyway go support Henson Studios, it's a place which allows itself to be magical more than many in this world. Age of Resistance and the various releases of The Dark Crystal and The Labyrinth are amazing. the Dark Crystal documentary is one of the most inspirational things i've ever seen.
