- Perhaps my expectations were lower than I thought, because the new Muppet Show special made it look easy. Two nostalgia gags at best, but mostly fun variety show vibes. They’d be crazy not to have this on TV with more regularity
- Reposted by Mike Duquetteoh that’s why she lost
- Writing an assuredly terrible meta script about a fictionalized Billy Zane and his dissociative alter ego, Zaney Bill
- This man gotta go in the zoo
- 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.
- Just remembered the writer behind “Peter Gabriel is RUINING his legacy by prioritizing new music over the hits” struck again this week. Pretty gauche to wishcast your reunion dreams over a concert booked because ICE murdered several people
- Reposted by Mike DuquetteHe looks like Peter Griffin in "Death of a Salesman"
- (pounds on the table until my knuckles bleed) MONEY! ISN’T! REAL!

- and real, honest, hardworking people putting their bodies on the line in cities all over the country want ICE abolished. what are you not hearing, oaf
- We desperately need to revive third spaces, particularly ones where you can do everything you can, hold on to what you...am, pretending you're a Superman
- Allow me to be frivolous for a bit
- Would read!
- Truly, it appears only time will tell if we stand the test of time.
- Zed, we have a Bug
- An underrated aspect of characters falling into public domain/not being held by one corporate entity is that Facebook fan pages can comment and sound like they are that character coming to their own defense (in this case, a large ape)
- Grossssssss
- CMT taking out airtime for a special like when Lebron was deciding where to go next
- we've all gotta manifest an Arcadia reissue to go with that big ol' Power Station box this year
