Is Gonzo the only Muppet who’s truly great at his job?
Like, for most Muppets, the joke is that the mess up a lot. For Miss Piggy, she is, I believe, “above average but will karate chop you if you don’t calm her perfect”.
But Gonzo sets out to do a thing and usually nails it. Is it only him?

OTHER PLAYERS: “THEY are a Dhampir. THEIR kind can’t be trusted.”
ME: “I appreciate that the misgendering was what evoked the biggest reaction here.”

Remember they told us Project 2025 was a conspiracy theory.
The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

It is explained to him that his application to teach History has been declined because there simply isn’t enough of it yet.

This is a magnificent idea, and I will contribute to its funding.
They should do a version of "THE MASKED SINGER" but for kickboxing. You can volunteer to get in a ring and go a round with someone in a dumb costume but you're taking your chances whether it's just some guy under there or like Mike Tyson.

One of my favorite gaming moments in recent history. Jesus, I’m still not over how good this is.
Still one of the most unhinged things I've ever created. A deranged homage to Alan Menken's 'Little Town' from Beauty and the Beast.
I enlisted my wife to sing it, who had no context going in. The session with her went:
"Alright" -> "Okay" -> "Wait, what?" -> "EXCUSE ME!?"

It’s really hard to know how much to focus on news stories that matter versus protecting your mental health with situations you personally can’t affect.

I think the in-universe dangers of the Scream franchise would just… stop… if the factory that makes those voice changers shuts down.
Like. For several movies now, the killer’s motive has been inextricably linked with being able to do The Voice.
Just. Don’t let them.

The NRA is speaking out against the government’s use of firearms. That’s where we are.
I have been watching the gun lobbyists and others roast Bill Essayli for a couple hours.
The NRA has now entered the chat.
“Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.”
