What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

a variant of “everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about” is “sometimes a coworker is nodding and listening on the walk to coffee while responding to dm scams”

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

It really is funny watching AI people talk about AI as intelligence. Like Jim Henson telling everyone on Sesame Street how scared he is of "the thing that lives in the can."

"Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a meme started with a fan video in 2009, which got so popular Nintendo themselves referenced it repeatedly. However, the earliest instance of Luigi winning by doing nothing actually comes from a game and predates the meme by 5 years.
!["Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a popular Internet meme about Luigi that started with a video uploaded by YouTube user KlydeStorm in 2009, in which Luigi wins against CPU opponents in Mario Party 2 without performing any inputs. It became so popular that Nintendo's own social media accounts and official videos referenced it.
[A post from SuperMario_UK on Twitter]
He does nothing. How does he always win?
[A subtitle on Nintendo Monthly Rewind-April 2021 on YouTube]
But will Luigi win by doing nothing?
However, the first instance of Luigi winning while doing absolutely nothing actually comes from Nintendo themselves. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi wins a drama contest while playing grass, a role requiring him to lie down and be silent for the whole play. While it might at first appear that the other actors's performances were responsible for the victory, it turns out that everyone specifically liked Luigi doing absolutely nothing.
[Screenshots of PM:TTYD]
Hayzee was a producer, and he was looking for actors to go on stage with him.
The script was great, but I got really hosed, Bro... My "role"... My "part"...
...Was grass! I played grass by the side of the road! Grass, Bro! Grass!
I just sprawled out on the ground and had to be silent. Everyone but me had lines...
In the end, our musical was the talk of the town, and we won the Drama Slam.
But wow! Outside were tons of fans! MY fans! Fans of grass! They swarmed me!

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government
wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Remember when Donald Trump yelled at Marjorie Taylor Greene and said releasing the Epstein files "Would hurt my friends!" so loud on speaker phone that her entire office heard him say it? I remember
