Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Oh they are absolutely in it, being Statler and Waldorf. It is literally just a new episode of the old show with a few of the newer characters incorporated, like Pepe. There's a Bunsen and Honeydew sketch, too. No standalone Swedish Chef scene, but he's in there.

The new episode of The Muppet Show is great fun because it's a new episode of The Muppet Show.
Chickens backing up Sabrina Carpenter? Yes.
Rats getting their own musical number? Yes.
Maya Rudolph flirting with her monster seat-mate? Yes.
*And* they wisely kept the theme song.
I hope they make more.

"Hi, everyone. I know things are hectic as heck right now, but please be sure to fill out your timesheets every Friday by 5 p.m. Central. I can’t pay you unless I know your hours. Please also try to be accurate."

"The last time [Neptune] moved through Aries was from 1861 to 1875... This upcoming journey will last around 13 years, helping reawaken us to our highest ideals and express them with conviction."

I know the Canada/China EV deal is supposed to be this big step forward, but considering we're in the process of cooking the planet, I actually think we should have zero tariffs on EVs?

Like, just get every EV that isn't a tesla on the road ASAP, and start giving away bikes while we're at it.
