It really did! I was expecting it to be a whole nother type of humor but it felt exactly like what I imagine watching the muppet show in the 70s felt like

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

The very best guests are the ones who simply ARE muppets at heart. Elton John is 100% muppet. Surprisingly, Rudolf Nureyev too! And Milton Berle was a rare exception to the comedian rule, got right down on Fozzy’s level.

Congrats Sabrina, you’ve reached muppet show royalty in my book 🏆

My considered opinion from watching dozens of old episodes is:

The worst guests are comedians. They try to be funny, but you can’t out-funny a muppet.

The middle tier are singers. They don’t have to do anything special, muppets love to gather round a singer.

Ok the new muppet show is amazing. Sabrina Carpenter is my favorite type of Muppet Show guest: the celebrity who is secretly actually just a muppet

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

If WB can make Lego everything how does Disney not just have Muppet everything? Muppet Avengers, Muppet The Mandalorian, Muppet Cars.

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

We’ve been getting mail and I have never been prouder of myself
A tip from someone who lived through Snowmageddon 2010: PRESERVE ACCESS.

Think “if this pile of snow were 3x as big and coated in impenetrable ice, would that be a problem?”

Dig out your mailbox, trash cans, car, etc now.

Love, someone who had to pick up mail at the post office for weeks.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

The lower left is indeed pink, not brown. It’s a muted millennial pink that doesn’t photograph well.

The baby pink one is a blend that includes merino and angora, but it’s not like I’ve found THAT in any other color.

Oh I did find a gray cashmere once, repaired the holes and gave it to my son.

I like to knit with wool yarn so I have been going to thrift stores to look for wool. I discovered 2 surprising things.

1) there is very little wool but l find cashmere on almost every visit (!)

2) all the cashmere is pink

Also, something most non-EV owners don't realize when we're talking about charging: most happy EV owners charge their EVs at home. Charging on the road is essential for road trips but not a day-to-day issue if you have a charger at home.

Non-Teslas can charge at Tesla superchargers (may need an adapter) BUT in many cases you need to block 2+ charging spaces to actually accomplish this.

How Well Do Tesla Superchargers Work for Non-Tesla EVs? - Consumer Reports
Tesla has made some Superchargers accessible to non-Tesla EVs. Consumer Reports auto experts tried out NACS adapters and Magic Docks with several non-Tesla EVs.

What's described here about EV charging is exactly the reason you see so many Teslas on the road, despite the company being so horrible in other ways.

Tesla charging networks are (mostly) reliable; so is the routing app which is built into the car.

Opinion | Charging an EV? Prepare for frustration.
Public charging stations have advanced considerably, but reliability remains elusive.

my life's goal is to keep moving from one Southern state to another, screaming "ACTUALLY THIS PLACE IS PURPLE AS FUCK, IT'S ALL VOTER SUPPRESSION" until Republicans lose major elections, and then move on to the next one like some weird electoral locust
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Good advice from an ophthalmologist Dr Glaucoflecken (I know - still not sure it's a real name) on what to do if you get tear-gassed.

Looking at you, #Minnesota Warriors for Democracy & Justice!

Also #Minneapolis. Y'all know we always got you, right?

Peace & love!

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

As far as I can tell, no! I remember LoseIt telling me I stuck to my calorie goal on days I had a beer. Well yeah, I only have a beer in the evening if I have the calories to spare.

Whoop also told me melatonin correlates with poor sleep for me. Well yeah, which nights do you think I take it on?

If these numbers are right, they sold 1.6 million model 3 and Y last year, and only 50,000 S, X, and cybertruck combined. tridenstechnology.com/tesla-sales-...

Those are the fancy models, the ones where the target market is basically just Tesla fanboys. Implying that the model 3 and Y (the normal ass cars people actually own) are what it makes sense to sell…logical tbh.
