Big big thanks to my mother for harassing me on social media the minute she heard I was doing well.

Any time I get a peek at the infrastructure of something, it's all kludges and duct tape, it's really a wonder anything works at all.

Infosecxistentialism: We are all condemned to be pwned, act accordingly

The thing about adult Muppet parodies is, that the Muppets already touch on adult themes, so the best way to approach it would just to play everything very straightfaced and super seriously, instead of going for easy shock humor. Look, we all know Kermit fucks.

I can't believe my AP English teacher made us read that.

Oh, you're not going to tell me about all that boring David Copperfield kind of crap, huh? Gonna cut to the chase, huh? Well, thank you, you oh wait you're actually going to tell me all this other extraneous detail about your day frick damn it
