Whenever there’s a Muppet TV project, somebody online says “They should just make more of The Muppet Show!” I roll my eyes.
I watched the Muppet Show special and am astounded they did exactly that. No format changes. No attempt to make it “relevant.”
Just the Muppet Show.
Again.
It was great!
Fun fact: All residential fire alarms contain a light sensor which enables them to only set off the piercing dead battery “chirp” precisely one and a half hours after you’ve turned off all the lights and gone to sleep.
At least, I assume this is the case.
Also, “Kermie.”

When this song came out, I always thought it might be about Dick Cheney. Feels a bit anticlimactic actually. #tmbg

Oh wow. I just waved “thank you” to a car that let me cross the street only to realize it was a driverless taxi!

When the Beatles Anthology came out in 1995, I really got into the Beatles music, but I concluded that the documentary was boring because I wasn’t really interested in their lives.
Today I just finished a 1,000-page biography by @marklewisohn.bsky.social that ends in 1962 BEFORE they hit it big.
Just had to break it to a twenty something that it’s very clear her work was written by AI.

I kept the accounts.
But deleted the apps.
If I really feel that I need to see something on FB or whatever, I use a privacy web browser and log in to the mobile site, the neglected nature of which limits the platforms’s addictive nature.
“Intuition is a wonderful thing of course, but it should be followed with caution. For instance many people who visit Las Vegas intuitively believe that they can beat the odds. Their intuition pays for a number of vast hotels which are owned by people who’ve actually done the maths.”

Microsoft Teams Other people are almost certainly having trouble understanding you because your audio quality is just terrible. • Everyone else on the call sounds fine, so it's not them, it's definitely you. • Your internet connection seems to be okay, so it's probably your bluetooth microphone or headset. • Try just using the computer microphone or turn off bluetooth and turn it on again. • Or just speak up and stop mumbling.

There’s a moment in every OK Go video where you finally stop trying to figure out how they did that, then you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
About 1:29 for me in their new one:

“What should concern us is not that we can’t take what we read on the internet on trust, but that we ever got into the dangerous habit of believing what we read in the newspapers or saw on the TV.”

The real truth in this interview is where he asks “Do you think healthcare CEO’s might stop screwing over their members?” to which the answer is “These CEO’s are such terrible people that they are incapable of experiencing enough empathy to draw that very simple conclusion.”

That’s some great reporting, writing, and even songwriting there. Thank you for exploring the story of Keiko in depth. I learned so much from this.

The simplistic responses to this show why you need a 6-part podcast to explore what was an incredibly complex situation.
I spent a lot of time watching Keiko at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and I remember looking into his eyes and thinking “this is not the simple story they want us to believe it is”
This is why I joined Bluesky. It’s been too long, thank you.

The smallest thing I learned in 2024 was that if you use your debit card at the gas station, you get the “cash” price that’s on the big sign out front, saving a few bucks.
More useful knowledge not worth passing onto my progeny because it will (hopefully) be obsolete by the time it is needed.
Every time I watch John Oliver on my phone, those little dots on his backdrop make me think I can swipe through 4 different videos… or even swipe through to a different reality.
