What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I remember seeing him on the original 1970’s The Muppet Show and loving him.
Many of the other 1970’s hosts, that are still living, would be great too including.
Rita Moreno
Candice Bergen
Steve Martin
Bernadette Peters
Alice Cooper
Diana Ross
Joan Baez
Debbie Harry
Brooke Shields

I have a few additional guest hosts for The Muppet Show.
Dolly Parton
Laufey
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Nathan Lane
Selena Gomez
John Hamm
Amy Poehler
Nick Offerman
Paul Simon
LeVar Burton
David Byrne
Mark Hamill- again

We loved The Muppet show.
I hope there are more.
So happy to have something fun and happy to watch.

Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.

An email (ostensibly from DOGE) that reads: “< Accounts Reduced to $1 Audience: GPC Program Participants Title: Accounts Reduced to $1 In compliance with Executive Order 14222, Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency' Cost Efficiency Initiative dated February 26, 2025, leadership identified . cardholders whose accounts were to be reduced to $1, and an email was sent to those cardholders and leadership stating that their account was reduced and they were no longer allowed to make purchases. Recent audits show that some cardholders, who were reduced to $1, have been using their purchase card to make purchases below this threshold. Cardholders reduced to $1 shall not use their purchase card. Going forward, if audit reviews show your card being used, your account will be terminated. As a reminder, you can check your limits by logging into your account in US Bank.”

3000 days ago (September 3, 2017), Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez goes 5-for-5 with three doubles and two home runs. Hosey is only the 13th player in history to have 5+ extra base hits in one game.

As we all watch Ken Burn’s American Revolution on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) this evening, remember that federal funding for this public programming has been cut by a president who aspires to be like the king patriots separated from nearly 250 years ago.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

OTD 1955: Larry Doby was traded to the White Sox after eight great seasons in Cleveland. Later Doby would become the 2nd Black MLB manager when the White Sox hire him in 1978. Also? Doby debuted with Cleveland vs the White Sox in 1947. Designate July 5 as Larry Doby Day @mlb.
