Are there any heterosexual couples on Sesame Street? I don't recall Miss Piggy ever appearing on Sesame Street. -- nm - Dano Jun 1, 08:31 6
- Non-human, you mean? It’s been implied if not outright shown. Abby Cadabby got a stepbrother a couple seasons ago when her mom remarried. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 1, 08:35 2
  - Did her mom marry a man or a woman? -- nm - Dano Jun 1, 08:38 1
    - A man. Male monster, that is. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:43
- Yup. -- (link) - mara Jun 1, 08:34 1
  - Just saw your post from below. Though on the other hand, it's clearly established that Bert and Ernie sleep in separate beds. - Dano Jun 1, 08:37
- never did, but then again kermit left almost immediately. they're all part of the same universe... -- nm - colin Jun 1, 08:33
I guess this counts as progress? My county will now be updating its Covid data hub weekly instead of daily. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:14
Also: Happy Hurricane season! It officially starts today. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:07 1
- did the one from last year ever end? -- nm - colin Jun 1, 08:33
Where do y'all get the president's daily schedule? I can never find it. Anyway, he's on his way to Andrews right now. No clue where he's going. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:02 3
- And of course, having posted that, I found it. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 1, 08:07 2
  - he sure spends a lot of time at the pool. -- nm - colin Jun 1, 08:33 1
    - speaking in Tulsa right now -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 13:18
Heh. "Fixed it for you" -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 1, 07:52 16
- I actually get CTW's annoyance with this - Reagen Jun 1, 08:02 9
  - It’s about representation, not sex. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:17 5
    - When they've done representation, they've created characters to do that, instead of retconning what they have. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:21 4
      - I’m not criticizing their approach, but I don’t find your reasoning here to be particularly helpful either. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 1, 08:27 3
        
        It trivializes a serious issue. Fooling the LGBTQ community into thinking they're being represented while Internet dweebs like you and me chuckle at -- (edited) - con_carne Jun 1, 08:37
        
        I think the whole "ooh two male character who spend time together, they must be gay" thing to be just as toxic - Reagen Jun 1, 08:36 1
        
        Depends greatly on where in the fandom it’s coming from, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:43
  - So is having a hetero married couple also unnecessarily sexualizing a relationship? -- (link) - mara Jun 1, 08:12 2
    - Actual people, and they've been a couple since the beginning. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:20 1
      - Either theirs is a sexual relationship or it isn't. If it is, we seem to be saying hetero is normal and gay is too sexual. And I'm not sure being human makes that much difference on a show for preschoolers. -- nm* - mara Jun 1, 08:36
- ? what am I missing -- nm* - mud Jun 1, 08:01 3
  - oh, ok. (d'oh) but why can't they be - mud Jun 1, 08:07
  - if serious question - spoiler - Diva Jun 1, 08:04

- My daughter really digs these -- nm - prayformojo Jun 1, 07:51 1
  - They're awesome. I've watched them all so I'm happy to see new ones pop up. I imagine they take a while to make so I don't expect new videos too often -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 08:01
- Neat, I'd never heard of these. Thanks for the post. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 07:50 1
  - Love the channel and videos. They're very well made and entertaining. -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 08:00
I'm scruffy today as I forgot to shave this morning and didn't shave yesterday due to the holiday. ST Poll: What did you forget? -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 07:37 1
- I forgot to bring a bag of garbage down last night for pickup this morning. Thankfully it can go down tomorrow night and won't be in the apt. long. - Krusty Jun 1, 08:06
Another Kamloops just coming around the corner." More unmarked graves of indigenous children in Canada - Remlik Jun 1, 07:22 11
- this is such an atrocity in our (not so distant) history. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 07:23 10
  - although I do question the people who claim to have not heard of this until recently, or that this information is their introduction to it - Reagen Jun 1, 07:38 9
    - Basically the same exact thing happened just a few years in Ireland. Dead babies found on the grounds of orphanages (=children of unwed mothers). -- nm* - loosilu Jun 1, 08:15
    - yes. but i think the scale of it all is news to a lot of people. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 08:12 1
      - The scale, yes. I have seen people say they only just learned about them as a concept. - Reagen Jun 1, 08:23
    - agreed -- nm - mud Jun 1, 07:57
    - I was surprised they were active so recently. I've always thought of them as a function of pioneer times. Early efforts to civilize native populations -- nm - Meg Jun 1, 07:54 4
      - same. Also thought experiences was more related to sexual abuse rather than outright hiding the potential murder of hundreds of kids - Beaker Jun 1, 08:05 3
        
        I suspect the graves are more in the way of - Reagen Jun 1, 08:09 2
        
        That's what happened in Ireland. Malnourishment and disease. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:16 1
        
        And in both cases, heavily influenced by the church, I'm sure. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 08:29

YDC: Ian Karmel lost a bunch of weight over the last year and in doing so also went down a full shoe size. He is a big sneaker collector and now - Krusty Jun 1, 06:29 18
- LYC: I bought my first pair of non-dress / non-sneaker shoes I think in about forever -- (link) - oblique Jun 1, 06:55 3
  - Nice. These are just for walking around and everyday things? -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 1, 07:01 2
    - More like "date night" casual. My work shoes are hiking boots and I rarely wear my suit for the dress shoes so this will fill in the gap -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 07:04 1
      - *nods* Those should work nicely. Definitely check out Vans next. If you're feeling fun you can make a custom pair on their website. - Krusty Jun 1, 07:06
- Wait, people wear the $$$ shoes? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 06:36 4
  - The Young Bucks certainly do. -- nm - David Jun 1, 08:25
  - I wear all of my sneakers as do many others. It's the young people that are in it for the money and not the love of the sneakers. - Krusty Jun 1, 06:50
  - Right? My thought was this is a convenient time to cash in all his shoes into an actual asset with value. -- nm - MDH Jun 1, 06:47 1
    - He's not into sneakers for their value. He genuinely loves sneakers. There hasn't been a better time to sell sneakers so he's getting lucky with his - Krusty Jun 1, 06:52
- Not a collector but gravity and gout took me from a 13 to a 15 - Reagen Jun 1, 06:36 8
  - Yeesh. They just don't make many sneakers in your size. It must be frustrating. -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 06:48 7
    - It's way better than it was 10-15 years ago. - Reagen Jun 1, 06:54 6
      - I'm also a 15. It stinks. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 1, 07:48 1

      - I remember my brother having to get custom made sneakers/shoes because of a lack of options back in the day. He's a size 16. - Krusty Jun 1, 07:05 3
        
        Actual NBA players must have sizes that big (and more). What do they wear? Custom? -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:03 2
        
        Yes, custom made sneakers. Their sneakers are made on a level we could only wish for. Their feet are scanned and the shoes are made to fit each - Krusty Jun 1, 08:10 1
        
        Damn. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:17
