Huge thanks to all my wonderful friends who contributed to making this a reality.
It may be a tad late, but I could not think of a better way to close out 2025!

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

The Muppet Show is Kermit in his purest form. The exasperated manager for a band of wierdos whom he futility tries to control. This special is the perfect chance to truly show what he can do with the character.
Vogel sounds nothing like Whitmire, but Whitmire sounded nothing like Henson.

The thing is, despite it being over 5 years, we haven't had the chance to get used to the voice because Kermit has only had minor or supporting roles in all recent projects.
I love so much about Matt's performance as Kermit (especially the singing), but what he's needed is actual screentime.

I'll just come right out and say that I do like Matt Vogel's take on Kermit. I know some dislike the voice, but I accepted it as a different interpretation of Kermit. It's a different voice, but at the end of the day it's the same frog.
Here's the official trailer for The Muppet Show revival special!

Like I love a lot of modern Piggy moments, and Eric Jacobson always gives a great performance, but she needs to be more than reserved and sarcastic.
If the upcoming solo movie doesn't feature stuff like this, what's the point of even making it? youtu.be/y-kSlndAbaE?...

One of the issues with current Muppet stuff is that they take Miss Piggy far too seriously. She's supposed to be completely unhinged, with her sophisticated attitude being a mask that slips off constantly.
They lean too heavily into the Prima Donna persona and don't let her go completely feral.

The term “friend slop” only ever being used in relation to indie games feels like something we should examine.

Kicked off the new year by treating myself to some better shampoo and conditioner that specifically says “for curly hair” on the label.
But now i’m questioning whether that means for people who want curly hair, or for people with curly hair.

London playing “Defying Gravity” at the New Year’s celebration after 12 months of our government going all in on attacking LGBTQIA+ rights is certainly something.

2025 was a year where I learned how to truly live for myself instead of others.
2026 will be the year where I start going after everything I want and refuse to settle for anything less than what I deserve. Be that in my relationships, career, or creative pursuits!

I decided to go out on New Years Eve, for once, but I don't know any of this music. How i'm supposed to stop feeling awkward and enjoy myself if I can't even sing?!

NEW VIDEO!
The Spongebob Movie: Search For SquarePants is here. How does it stack up against the other films? Was it originally meant for theaters? Why does the Ice Spice song sound like that? Find out in my (BIG) review.

New year, new me! It's something we always, but in 2024, I was determined to make good on that promise. Luckily, I had a secret weapon: Bear in the Big Blue House
Find out what happened when I spent 365 days treating my first hyperfixation as my life coach!

"Bluesky is boring" sounds to me like a skill issue, I have always had a blast with this app. Literally, all you have to do is follow some fun people and you're set. Could not be easier!
Tbh the “Bluesky is so boring” discussion made me realize that - even though most people complain about modern social media being awful - they’re too addicted to actually use anything self-driven
