the way that tsunamis work is that an earthquake displaces an immense amount of water, and a wave that is not very tall but contains an immense amount of energy, and when it gets to the shore it shoals and grows to towering heights

what i’m saying is that this song isn’t any good (earthquakes aren’t fun, generally) but there is a becky g track out there and when it arrives it will crush everything in its path

Now. Now Jim Henson Day can be finished.

"Perhaps the substance of Jim Henson's genius was the ability to see wonder in far off crazy directions, and get people to follow him there."

If just one person believes in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough, believes in you…
Hard enough, and long enough,
It stands to reason, that someone else will think
“If he can do it, I can do it.”

We are a short time from wrapping up Jim Henson Day. Pick your poison:

Jim’s friends puppeteer and sing “Just one Person” at his memorial service.

The Muppets discover Jim is dead, read quotes from fan letters written after his death, and then sing “Just one Person.”

Scientific Podcast Goes Boink, Episode 34: Kermit the Frog Believes in You

Scientific Podcast Goes Boink, Episode 34: Kermit the Frog Believes in You:

On the anniversary of Jim Henson’s death, we have a special podcast. Things get earnest.

Jim Henson died 23 years ago today. Bill and I devoted an episode of the podcast to talking about why the Muppets mean so much to us. It’s because they’re funny, but it’s also because life is hard and sometimes you feel really, really alone, but there’s always a felt frog who is there for you. Always. It’s because in this world people are very often quite mean to each other, but there’s another world where things are different, and if we want it bad enough we can make our world a little more like their world.

It isn’t long, an hour or so. Give it a listen won’t you?

P.S. apologies in advance for the dozens of Muppet sketches I am going to tumblast today

Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cut lines at Disney World

Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cut lines at Disney World:

They are 1 percenters who are 100 percent despicable.Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World

or, “individual with disabilitiy finds way to leverage unique position as marginalized individual.” not entirely sure that’s the reading I’d advocate but would like to suggest it as a possibility.
