A Muppet Family Christmas had a great example of this. Fraggles give a “Fraggle Pebble” as a gift, and it gets re-gifted over and over.

yeah I think I’ll need that recipe at some point. Just to know.

yes, the studio recording of IWYTWM came out a year earlier.
On Live At Budokan, side 2 starts with IWYTWM, and then you immediately hear “This next one…” as they introduce their brand new song Surrender.

This was me seeing The Watchmen for the first time in 1990. Holy shit, what an amazing band.

yeah but performing it right after I Want You To Want Me? It would be very “new vibe” if they recorded it in North America. (assuming that was an accurate performance order and not rearranged in post)

but the audience at Budokan? They’re going absolutely bonkers the entire time. It’s so great.

if not, there’s work to be done

the Plympton vibes are strong with this one.

People brag about the times they were right, or the times they believe they were right. They won’t mention the times when they were wrong, or will just convince themselves they were right about something. If they brag to the right people, they can make a living out of it.

for this short film, the end-credit music is a ukelele cover of “Grand Finale” from 2112, with a soothing voice saying “We have assumed control… We have assumed control…”

For every American who gets offended at someone from Boston there’s a Canadian that isn’t a thin-skinned little bitch. ;) (okay maybe not a perfect metaphor but after the day I’ve had I’m not workshopping this one)

a bit of an extreme reaction to a hedge AND a fence, but I’ll allow it.

yeah I don’t even joke about hurting my knees.
People will laugh when someone gets kicked in the balls, but seeing someone fall onto their knees is all pain and no schadenfreude.

because talent is involved in trying to draw him
but no talent is involved in trying to be him

Dads are the best

I’ve known some Angus that were plenty calm and/or friendly.

but Never turn your back on a Chianina.

they’re adorable and rather wee for cows

Fuck humanity

Well sure, okay, if you do it by wealth, in descending order.

lucky for us, we aren’t running out of jumps.

It’s great for parsing through the enshittified journalism.

It’s ironic that GenAI is great for solving a problem it caused. It’s like hiring a gangster to take you through gangster-controlled territory.

I think this speaks more to the usefulness of performance reports than the usefulness of GenAI
