apparently this is a tension headache from clenching morning

@Kyresti Unsure. What I do know is that the IDF's official assault rifle has a "church key" built into the back so people don't fuck up the sights using them to open beers.

re Florida transphobic bathroom laws 

I would like to quote someone smarter than me.

"Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a
false sense of inferiority. To use the words of Martin Buber, the great Jewish philosopher, segregation substitutes an "I - it"
relationship for the "I - thou" relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things. So segregation is not only politically, economically, and sociologically unsound, but it is morally wrong and sinful. Paul Tillich has said that sin is
separation. Isn't segregation an existential expression of man's tragic separation, an expression of his awful estrangement, his
terrible sinfulness? So I can urge men to obey the 1954 decision of the Supreme Court because it is morally right, and I can urge
them to disobey segregation ordinances because they are morally wrong.

"Let us turn to a more concrete example of just and unjust laws. An unjust law is a code that a majority inflicts on a minority that
is not binding on itself. This is difference made legal. On the other hand, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow, and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.

"Let me give another explanation. An unjust law is a code inflicted upon a minority which that minority had no part in enacting or creating because it did not have the unhampered right to vote."

Will spare you the obvious joke about the five pronged probe that fits into everyone’s Muppet Port when they sit in chairs with a dramatic high angle shot to enter the Muppet Show

NEO “Why does my ass hurt?”
MORPHEUS “because this is the first time you haven’t had someone’s entire fist up in there”

… and then like Sam the Eagle obviously sells out the submarine crew because “you are all weirdos.”

In “The Muppet Matrix,” is Keanu the only human actor in an all muppet cast or are the agents the only human actors to illustrate how the muppets exist in spaces created by the Machines, but they are the gatekeepers, they know all the exits and hold all the keys which means sooner or later someone is going to have to fight them?

I’m CREATING arisinal hand made shitposts here, and he’s making them impossible to view! But nooooo, I get some nimrod talking about the LGBT mafia promoted at me instead.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Spoiler, it’s about bar soap. They were gonna make Indiana Jones and the Lava of Legend or Indiana Jones and the Zest of Zoroaster but couldn’t get the rights.

Problem with Twitter being not completely broken is it’s the fastest way you can meet the worst aspects of humanity if you aren’t actively working retail.

@anthracite I told you how one of the reasons I got more comfortable with the idea of transition was, I ran into a news item about a somewhat older cis woman who literally could be one of my blood relatives? (Even weirder, for finding something on a long hike, which I'd like to think is a very me sort of thing.)

actually I lied. the literal best thing about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is this chunk of John Williams soundtrack

those aren't birds sweetheart

they're GIANT VAMPIRE BATS

* massive John Williams sting *

@frost the older I get, the representation of most Chinese characters *really* grates on my nerves.

seriously, the movie comes THIS close to having musical numbers several times, and yet naw, we're too American for that. Phoo.

admittedly I still haven't forgiven Temple of Doom for being THAT CLOSE to being a bollywood film and then only having one musical number, okay and also it had imperialism, white savior myth and horrifying Sinophobia
