Farewell and thanks to Marty Krofft (1937-2023).
With brother Sid he created H.R. PUFNSTUF and some of the most memorably trippy kids shows of the 1970s.
He also produced DONNY AND MARIE, THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR and more in an epic career.

I love that transphobes are losing their mind over Doctor Who.
Cry your tears, assholes. CRY. YOUR. TEARS. 🤣🤣🤣. Your tears bring this fan (since late era Pertwee) great joy!

#Romney says any #Democrat would be ‘an upgrade’ over #Trump in 2024 https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4327061-romney-democrat-upgrade-over-trump-in-2024/

Hi folks! Just a PSA. 📢
When you share YouTube links, they often add a unique identifier at the very end. 📣
For eg:
https://youtu[.]be/eNYndWedZsE?si=uwiqyrhfjowlhdh
Edit: https://youtube[.]com/watch?v=0KGc9jaQnRY&si=blbrupytfr
Edit: Everything from the "si" to the right is totally used for tracking purposes only. So delete that before you post/send the link. ⌨️🖱️
The final link should be https://youtu[.]be/eNYndWedZsE. 📲
Thank you!

@CivilityFan
Whenever they say "religious freedom," they mean the exact opposite.
@gedeonm Thanks for reminding me to give it a try.

Doctor Who making the transphobes rage. And on BBC & Disney! You love to see it

And while the cats are being miserable about have to remain indoors, Snooty the #Hedgehog is perfectly happy pretending to be a Brillo pad on my shoulder.
So Oreo somehow managed to escape. Twice. As punishment, the cat doors have all been locked shut. I hate to make the other two miserable, but until we figure out how he got to the front yard, that’s how it’s gotta be. #Caterday #CatsOfMastodon

That reminds me of the piece about wanting to be an 8-yo again (copied from inspirationalstories.com)
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer’s day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn’t bother you, because you didn’t know what you didn’t know and you didn’t care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again. I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So, here’s my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you’ll have to catch me first, cause… “Tag! You’re it.”
The #DoctorWho special was so satisfying.
@skaly You might want to follow some of the folks over on babka.social. You’re far from the only one.

@Coffeechai these are strong women, putting their lines on the line for their freedom and the liberty of their country. I am moved to tears by seeing their faces
As opposed to social media western “feminists” failing to call out Hamas’ and Islam’s institutional oppression of women

“Zionism (/ˈzaɪənɪzəm/; Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת Ṣīyyonūt, Hebrew pronunciation: [t͡sijo̞ˈnut]; derived from Zion) is a nationalist[fn 1] movement that emerged in the 19th century to enable the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people (…)”
— Wikipedia
Here’s something I don’t understand. When someone says “I am no antisemitic, I am anti-zionist” - does that mean they don’t want Jewish people to have a home?
Why wouldn’t Jewish people be allowed to dream of a homeland or have one?

Hey you.
Yes, YOU.
The person reading this post.
You matter.
I’m glad you’re here.
@selzero In all honesty, I do love mushy peas. And my mum used to make the best Yorkshire pudding.
@selzero I love British food. There’s nothing better than a good curry!
