Something about The Muppet Show 2026 that I love but haven't seen anyone point out is that the two characters who introduce it are Kermit and Rowlf, the two characters most seen as extensions of Jim. And Kermit being overly sentimental with Rowlf undercutting it with "we got a job to do?" Perfection

Coworker today: “Wait, both your cats have human names!” (Kira is named after Dark Crystal Kira. Logan is named after Wolverine. It just sort of worked out that way)

Hard to choose but I’m going with The Dark Crystal. (Kira approves)

Some Swedish hockey players demonstrate various winter Olympic sports. 😁 (sound on) #Olympics

In putting together my documents for Canadian citizenship, TIL my grandmother was adopted by her stepfather and her birth record lists a man we’ve never heard of. So that’s fun.

Muppet people! There is a debate on Threads about the OG Muppet Babies and whether or not it was an orphanage or what it was. I honestly have no idea. But the comment “Muppets don’t raise their young” cracked me up.

I explained gay in like two seconds, that was easy, and then she asked me to explain electricity

Via a friend: “All those apples and they missed the chance to have Mike Tyson biting into an ear of corn.”

How many times is too many times to watch the Project Hail Mary trailer? Asking for…me.

It’s going to be 38 tomorrow and that feels damn near tropical after all these single digits. This winter has been unbearable.

The Budweiser eagle commercial was great until they spoiled it in the last second with toxic masculinity.

yeah i'm thinking about the big game

humans do not host the Muppet Show, Kermit the Frog hosts the Muppet Show! there i said it, i got it off my chest

Ordered two 50# bags of ice melt for pickup before thinking about the reality of that amount. This will be …interesting.

Me: We’re having a Super Bowl party Coworker; Oh yeah, who are you rooting for? Me: the nacho bar we’re serving.

whoever runs on giving the entire ice budget to the muppet show gets my vote

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Has anyone done a side-by-side of the original Muppet Show opening and the new one? It’s SO well done.

IT is currently trying to figure out why Acrobat, the software I use 90% of the time at work, just suddenly decided to fuck off into oblivion.

One of my mother’s favorite stories to tell was the night she asked me if I wanted to go watch The Muppet Show at her boyfriend’s house in color.

Doing one (1) episode of The Muppet Show with Sabrina Carpenter as the guest *should* be the easiest assignment in television history. Just steal four skits from 1978 and everyone in GenX will love you. That said, people have failed to do it for decades. So well done, Seth Rogan.

Humans are still zygotes, in planetary time. We’ve barely been here at all.

Also I am cautiously optimistic about The Muppet Show tomorrow but I won’t get to see it until after work.

Met with my new nephrologist today. Really like her. Going to up the meds for the nerve damage to my foot and try to wean me off the steroids that are wrecking my blood sugar.

Use that bathroom Start the dishwasher Fill the humidifiers Get ready for bed —things I would do but Kira is napping on me.

You ever read a thread of comments, start to reply, then think about the chain of events that led you to that moment, set down your phone and walk into the sea?

2026 F1 liveries and their Muppet counterparts #1: Ferrari & Lew Zealand

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

I love the hell out of Super Mario, but just in case people needed a reminder about the ghoul whose voicing him and his views on both vaccines and autistic people, here ya go because fuck that guy.

There are far fewer police out here than I've seen at similar marches. Things remain calm regardless. Police do block the march from continuing south toward the Metro Correctional Center and the Chicago ICE field office. Chants continue: "From Minnesota to Palestine, occupation is a crime"

We are kindly asking people not to jump to conclusions just because indisputable video evidence shows us executing an innocent man in broad daylight.

When I was 7/8 I had a waking experience in the night w/tiny people like this, but they were animated & I couldn’t see the items they were interacting with - putting invis groceries into invis cupboards. Now I sometimes wake up and my surroundings dont look familiar, and I’d guess they’re connected

Not sure the new ACNH update will hold my attention for more than a week, but it was worth it for this.

Yeah the thing about Mr. Rogers is his show was never political.

I'm sick of the nonstop political content on here, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this totally apolitical "The Real Horror Wears A Red Hat" sticker. I've never heard of this monster, but it sounds terrifying. I'll be wary of red hats from now on. Keep children away from them. collabs.shop/s72n5x

My Switch, untouched for months, is updating everything but what I wanted to update.

We were not unsuspecting

My friend Monet just became the first American woman to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. She skied 702 miles in 57 days, arriving about an hour ago. I'm so, so proud of her.

I’ve had severe dry mouth for a week or so. Blamed it on wearing an N95 at the hospital (my dad has been there for a week, coming home tomorrow) but today it got so bad I started googling and oh hey, my new statin causes dry mouth. The more you know! 🌈

This is the sort of timeline cleanse I needed today.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Sunday night in the ER: fairly quiet. (90 y/o dad was acting off. All tests are normal. Just waiting for him to get a room then I’m headed home.)

It annoys me greatly that I am missing some, but oddly there seem to be no secondary market for this extremely local collctible.

And now the hardest part of taking down the tree: matching the glass candy canes to the correct boxes.

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Please Tread On Me pin. Grab a few so you can hand one out to the next bootlicker who tells you "Just obey orders if you don't want the government to shoot you in the head". collabs.shop/shvqe5

Ah, michigan. It’s sunny and 45 so I need the AC on in my car. (And I took my coat off)
