"I loved Miss Piggy. We got on great... She’s a greedy girl. It was established in the script that we had, maybe sometime in the past, some kind of a fling together. And I improvised a line which never made it into the movie: “Once you’ve had pork, you never look back.” [Deep laugh.]"

I absolutely loved having this long conversation with Tim Curry, whose memoir comes out Tuesday. He told terrific stories about, among others, Meat Loaf, Ivana Trump, John Huston, Truman Capote, and Miss Piggy. What a life! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Tim Curry Does the Time Warp

The actor and singer discusses the origins of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” his relationship with David Bowie, and the joy of working with Miss Piggy.

The same guy who voiced Tony the Tiger did the song about how bad the Grinch is and that’s not all that interesting except I don’t think a Tiger should have the right to insult the Grinch like that. The Grinch is a higher life form

SUPERBATOBER 12: SNEAK -- A little break from Batgirl and Supergirl antics to allow Poison Ivy to plant a little surprise kiss on Harley Quinn's cheek. Ivy has another gift-wrapped surprise (of the cartoonish bomb variety) for Harley hidden behind her back. I wonder what they're celebrating?

Yesterday, Don Lemon interrupted patient care for a visibly sensitive situation by shoving a mic in a patient’s face then getting annoyed at me when I swatted it out of the way & told him it was inappropriate. Yes, protests should be documented but no, they are not “content” & there is a difference.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I can be actively looking at the brewers and still not have object permanence for who many of them are. like at least one per lineup feels like a prank.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

A church sign that says:
Marines, ICE agents, Nat'l Guard, Riot Police
My brothers & sisters in Christ or in conscience-
Their orders are immoral.
It is not too late to save your souls.
- Take off your masks
- Lay down your weapons
- Remove your armor
- Repent & return home

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them

“It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx."

It's probably the best sports chant I have ever participated in.

Tim Quirk @tbquirk.bsky.social · 1d

At Oakland Ballers games, when a player named Tyler Lozano comes up to bat, everybody chants, "Go Ty-ler Lo-zan-O" to the melody of that riff.

And now I sing that randomly to myself at least twice a day.
