before the poll, a quick definition of terms:

"mutual" - you found this post from a mutual (on their blog or your dash) "following" - you found this post from someone you're following, but who isn't following you "random" - you found this by scrolling through someone's blog, who you don't follow. this includes people following you "For You" - you found this on the For You page "recommended" - you found this in a "Check out these blogs" popup, or a "recommended" post when looking at a different post "other" - you found this post some other way. comment how? "reblog ✅" - you're going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post "reblog ❌" - you're NOT going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post

with that out of the way:

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

Ну, погоди! nebo tak něco, já měl na základce němčinu

thinking about how in czech "rozdat si to" can mean either "to fight" or "to fuck" depending entirely on your intentions and I think that's beautiful

I really don't care if Miley Cyrus smoked a bong. She's 18? She can live her own life...

just saw a screenshot of sunnysideup and went "there's a new egg on qblrspm???"

various pictures of Mara the egg for you :] and one single crumb smile

Thinking about how in Czech we say “fart it in” when we want to say “add/put it in” and I think that’s beautiful

It turns out the cookies are real — sort of.

They are baked at the home of Lara MacLean, who has been a “puppet wrangler” for the Jim Henson Company for almost three decades. MacLean started as an intern for Sesame Workshop in 1992 and has been working for the team ever since.

The recipe, roughly: Pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts and instant coffee, with water in the mixture. The chocolate chips are made using hot glue sticks — essentially colored gobs of glue.

The cookies do not have oils, fats or sugars. Those would stain Cookie Monster. They’re edible, but barely. “Kind of like a dog treat,” MacLean says.

Before she reinvented the recipe in the 2000s, the creative team behind “Sesame Street” used versions of rice crackers and foams to make the cookies. The challenge was that the rice crackers would make more of a mess and get stuck in Cookie’s fur. And the foams didn’t look like cookies once they broke apart.

Cookie has been portrayed since 2001 by David Rudman, who took over the role from Frank Oz. Rudman’s right hand moves the mouth, which is eating, and his left hand holds the cookies. Both work in concert to break the cookies, which means they have to be soft enough to fall apart.

Rudman said soft cookies are best, adding, “The more crumbs, the funnier it is. If he eats the cookie, and it only breaks into two pieces if it’s too hard, it’s just not funny,” he said. “It looks almost painful. But if he eats a cookie and it explodes into a hundred crumbs, that’s where the comedy comes from.”

MacLean has perfected a recipe that is “thin enough that it’ll explode into a hundred crumbs,” Rudman said. “But it’s not too thin that it’ll break in my hand when I’m holding it.”

Not every (human) guest realizes that the cookies aren’t meant to be eaten. Adam Sandler appeared on an episode and decided to share in the muppet's delight by spontaneously eating a cookie with him on set.

“As soon as the cameras cut, he was like, ‘Blech!' ” MacLean said.

miluju hlavák protože ty tam můžeš bejt omylem ale i tak tam potkáš kamarády, no discussion of meeting up needed

Je znepokojující, že na toto téma máme hned dvě písničky...

Tuhle jsem narazila na Babičku ilustrovanou Zdeňkem Burianem. Prolistovala jsem ji a se smutkem jsem shledala, že tam nejsou vůbec žádní dinosauři. To mě samozřejmě velmi zarmoutilo a ta myšlenka mě pohltila natolik, že jsem ji musela realizovat. Výsledek zde:

Digitální.

I like the expression new-fangled. I don't know what it means for something to be fangled, but I sure as hell know it was recent
