Is the implication here that:
a) Kermit has worked with him for so long, he should know Gonzo has no dignity
b) Gonzo has worked with Kermit this long, only because he has no dignity
c) Gonzo has no dignity as a result of how long he has worked with Kermit
d) Gonzo’s question is unrelated to Kermit’s question. Gonzo has earnestly forgotten how long they have worked together
E) somehow, all of the above

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.
I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.
There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.
This is not normal.
From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK
It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.
This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.
“ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid” - MSN, published October 1st, 2025
Most mainstream media is barely covering it.
I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.
Spread this far and wide - there’s no paywall.

Hey look, WoT fans, turns out it’s exactly the bullshit reasoning we thought with Prime cancelling WoT when RoP is more expensive and struggling with critics–they cut WoT to save RoP, because they’d agreed to a “kill fee,” $20 million they’d have to pay to the Tolkien estate per season canceled before the 5-season plan was completed, and couldn’t afford to continue with RoP’s enormous budget without axing something else.

Never forget that the US was extremely late in abolishing slavery compared to most of the world
Don’t forget that it still allows for slavery as punishment for a crime, which it exploits endlessly.
And don’t forget that when truly ending slavery was on the ballot in California (with no active opposition) the supposed Bastion of progressive values still voted to keep it.

my boomer take is that i hate it when games don’t have a title screen and just fucking start right away when you launch them for the first time. i dont care if you wanna get into things asap you will show me a nice screen with the logo and some stuff going on in the background. show me a landscape or something i dont care. dont just fucking drop me in, set a mood first
Disco Elysium is such an astoundingly good blend of realism and wackiness. Like Evrart is such a fascinating character because he’s a charismatic scumbag, he’s vicious and corrupt but also genuinely appears to be fighting on behalf of the union - sure he assassinates political rivals and traffics drugs, but that’s because he’s fighting a rigged and bloody game and ‘virtue’ is a fool’s cause, and he has a point, given the fascist paramilitary goons right outside his door. But at the same time, if he lies about everything else, can you really trust that he *actually* cares about the plight of the poor teamster? Or are you just that desperate for a justifiable side to be on?
and also his office is a shipping container that gets moved around by crane like a budget supervillain lair

So like. What was going through Cobra Bubbles’ head the first time he encountered Stitch?
He’s trying to conduct a home visit. It’s not going well. The last visit didn’t go well. It’s becoming more and more clear that he’s probably going to have to separate this little girl from her only living relative, which he doesn’t want to do. Nani’s not helping her own case, and he’s coming down pretty hard on her. And then suddenly this bizarre little blue creature pops up and flings a heavy book directly at his face. The sisters insist it’s a dog, but it doesn’t look, sound, or behave like any dog.
The thing is, Agent Bubbles knows about aliens. He knows for a fact that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists and that it knows about Earth. And yet he doesn’t challenge the idea that Stitch is a dog or try to either immediately remove Lilo or demand that Stitch be sent away. He does specifically tell Lilo that the next time he sees Stitch he expects Stitch to be “a model citizen.” Not under control or well trained, a model citizen.
Is he hoping that Stitch is a solution here? That this alien creature that, arguably, attacked him in defense of the Pelekai sisters, might represent a useful element of their support system if better socialized?
I’m not sure what’s funnier, if he thinks Stitch is a low paperwork solution to not having to separate Lilo from Nani, or if his focus shifts to “This child with turbo autism may be the only thing able to control that thing without military intervention”
