I'm in denial that we lost Caroll Spinney.

The first time I met him, he was so kind to a fledgling puppeteer. The next time I met him, as an assistant puppeteer, he was kind. The next time, too.

Big Bird was real.

Is real.

Oscar is real, too. Opinions and pushing boundaries and disregard for social norms, but still...

Oscar cared about his friends.

You can be a curmudgeon and kind.

I won't pretend to have been anything more than a friendly acquaintance who was lucky enough that I got to work with Carroll.

But I'm the same age as Big Bird -- both of us simultaneously 50 and 6.

I'm just gutted today.

@RinmeikanGranny

Each of us nurtures our own unique talents, and a desire to display them on the world’s grand stage. When obstacles force us back, do we accept our fate, or do we craft a new stage of our own making?

Chapter 5 (the first half of Ichie’s story) begins, as usual, with Rui, who thinks she’s finally getting the hang of these regular curriculum classes.

As Rui takes a moment to wonder how Tamao-senpai is doing, the classroom door slides open and a literal crowd of second years comes through the doorway. Rui wonders what all of them are here for...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.

I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.

As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.
