Just to be clear, I'm not complaining "he isn't newsworthy," I'm just saying "c'mon, leave the guy alone, Daily Mail."

Saw a "news" story from the Daily Mail (so, you know) that was basically just "we got pictures of Walter Koenig walking down the street." Someone got paid for that.

I was like "ugh, a Klingon culture story" but ultimately thought it was pretty good!

Oh, absolutely.

Dr. Light: "I'LL GET YOU, ROBIN!"

Me watching the show: "oh no"

I think it was in Kyle Baker's PLASTIC MAN where Light was complaining about how he's just this one thing, now.

I'm sorry, Chris. Biscuit was A Good Doggie.

Anyway, Muppets are people, is what I am saying.

A while back I watched the 9/11 SESAME STREET episode, in which Elmo is traumatized by a fire in the general store, and I can't believe how bad I felt for that terrified little guy.

"MELANIA projected to make $1 million in first week."

Frankly I'm surprised it's making that much. I'd say Trump bought up a bunch of tickets, but get serious, he's not gonna spend the money.

Was it Michael Caine who said after finishing a take on MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, he pat Kermit on the head, forgetting he was a dude's hand in some felt?

Realizing now that I'm just restating that Simpsons meme.

But I am not a Simpsons, I AM A HUMAN BEING

I see a few people out there replying to my posts and saying that I'm wrong about things, but have they considered that perhaps they are the ones who are wrong?

Watched the first two episodes of WONDER MAN last night, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I think my favorite character is Simon's agent.

Looking forward to the Rifftrax version of MELANIA.

They were *immensely* popular out here in Southern California. We sold tons of the pogs/caps themselves, plus all the related supplies (POG tubes!) and the slammers and everything else. There was even a POG-specific store that opened up north of us.

But when POGs crashed, they crashed HARD.

I can't believe someone wasn't sure about my love for Frank Miller's THE SPIRIT! I must redouble my efforts!

Just did. I'll check in later and see if it's still there.

Just repinned it. Let's see if it sticks.

It's like watching THE PRODUCERS and thinking "if only these guys had made a GOOD musical about Hitler...!"

Well, maybe not exactly like that, but this came to mind and had to get it out there.

Huh, my pinned post of "find me on Threads if Bluesky goes bad" is suddenly no longer pinned. *I* didn't unpin it.

Almost said "be condemned to Gre'thor" but let's not gild the lily.
