- Reposted by Al KennedyI'm impressed at how logistically, Sabrina Carpenter is like the perfect height to host the Muppets
- Kind of think when someone has been doing a job for nine years they're not "the new version" any more. This is just who does that job now

- Culminating in a rendition of Hog To Go
- They figured it out. I can't believe they actually solved how to do it. And all they had to do was just... make the goddamn Muppet Show!
- Reposted by Al KennedyY'all Disney is 100% waiting for views on Disney+ to decide if they'll make more "The Muppet Show." If you want more Muppets in the world, watch that shit.

- Reposted by Al KennedyJim Steinman was a guy who knew what he was about artistically* and leaned alllll the way into it * making some off the highest risk/reward karaoke jams of all time
- Cafe on Morrison St has a huge sign outside that says Buy 7 Drinks Get 8th Free and I just can't imagine ever being that thirsty
- Reposted by Al KennedyGhost World is such an amazing choice to make this argument. No notes.
- Yes, @mattyglesias.bsky.social has also argued, in The Atlantic (of course), that older men pursuing sexual relationships with sixteen year olds is not pedophilia.
- Reposted by Al KennedyOne wonderful thing about a José Luis García-López establishing shot is that you can easily imagine wandering around the scene you’re being shown. As here, from 1995’s “Superman: Kal”. It’s a whole world for the imagination to immerse itself in.
- Cutting a small coupon out of the last five minutes of an episode of Comedy Bang Bang
- 2017: "Democracy Dies in Darkness (derogatory)" 2026: "Democracy Dies in Darkness (complimentary)"
- "Available wherever you get your podcasts" is a phrase with the vibe of a well-meaning but out-of-touch auntie trying to take an interest
- Epstein having branded merch is beyond bizarre. I can't imagine he needs the cash a RedBubble store brings in

- What I'm getting from the government's response on Mandelson today that the depth and extent of his post-conviction friendship with Epstein wasn't known, because it's okay to be friends with a child sex trafficker if it's only a little bit, like a cheat day treat
- I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight, by Richard and Linda Thompson, which is coincidentally one of the best songs ever, regardless of number of words in the title

- #TheTenX5 Day 3 48. Calista Garcia - Stuck in your Head (2019) I don't have much country on this list, but I love this, with its verses that stumble and stagger around like a controlled collapse, and that completely gorgeous chord progression in the chorus youtu.be/uEBztzCJZAM
- No new pictures. Where are you mentally?
- Anyway, I finished Event Horizon and now I'm watching a TV show called Wild Cards, I don't know anything about it but they really seem to have removed any trace of the original George R R Martin works
- What's notable in this particular snit is that the "World's Greatest Newspaper" (not my words, Carol, the words of the Chicago Tribune) is only able to boost Bushra Amiwala (a good person! Pro-Medicare for All! Anti-arms sales to Israel!) when putting her in conflict with another progressive woman
- From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend. trib.al/LXhfqMv

- Emma is a sensationally talented and dedicated creator who's been honing this production to a fine edge for a long time. She's also a thoroughly good egg and SILENCE! To Astonish alumna. Her show deffo deserves your support, if you can spare as little as a fiver
