Is Gonzo the only Muppet who’s truly great at his job?
Like, for most Muppets, the joke is that the mess up a lot. For Miss Piggy, she is, I believe, “above average but will karate chop you if you don’t calm her perfect”.
But Gonzo sets out to do a thing and usually nails it. Is it only him?

(Easiest example of my TTRPG Tables)
PLAYER A: “Our teammate, [PLAYER B], is working with Strahd. She’s a Dhampir! Her kind cannot be trusted!”
OTHER PLAYERS: “THEY are a Dhampir. THEIR kind can’t be trusted.”
ME: “I appreciate that the misgendering was what evoked the biggest reaction here.”

Remember they told us Project 2025 was a conspiracy theory.
The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Maybe I saw it from there and it got lodged in my subconscious!
The other day, I was wondering when the first History class was, and that chain of thought led me to this… I almost ended it with a “Damn.” As an homage to my favorite Far Side gag!

A caveman wears his best outfit (a tie) and sits across from the dean of Caveman University.
It is explained to him that his application to teach History has been declined because there simply isn’t enough of it yet.

It’s just so ridiculously good. Wild that my Game of the Year that year was a bomb, but… yeah. Masterpiece.

Have you played Marvel’s Midnight Suns? It’s deeply you-coded, but I can’t remember if we discussed it.

This is a magnificent idea, and I will contribute to its funding.
They should do a version of "THE MASKED SINGER" but for kickboxing. You can volunteer to get in a ring and go a round with someone in a dumb costume but you're taking your chances whether it's just some guy under there or like Mike Tyson.

One of my favorite gaming moments in recent history. Jesus, I’m still not over how good this is.
Still one of the most unhinged things I've ever created. A deranged homage to Alan Menken's 'Little Town' from Beauty and the Beast.
I enlisted my wife to sing it, who had no context going in. The session with her went:
"Alright" -> "Okay" -> "Wait, what?" -> "EXCUSE ME!?"

I’m being targeted by the “Oops, I texted the wrong person” scam… but the scammer’s alias is Linda and they’re claiming to try and get ahold of Jasmine.
