my current form of short form video self soothing is watching puppy temperament testing

Strong linear opening for Disney's THE MUPPET SHOW. It was Wednesday's No. 1 show among A18-49 (0.52)/A25-54 (0.69) across broadcast and cable, tripling the final installment of THE GOLDEN BACHELOR in the slot last fall.
It averaged 3.1M same-day viewers, improving on ABBOTT (2.8M) lead-in

Team resources is why worker-owned media collectives are so important. It's not gonna fix everything, especially the problem of readers only having so much cash, but everyone can't go it alone.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

the suburban nj equivalent of this is an already congested school drop off loop that now seems completely plausible as the soon-to-be setting for a crime procedural cold open
new yorkers survive in the city long-term by traveling in a kind of invisible force field bubble that maintains another body's amount of space between you & everyone else whenever possible. the snowbanks are collapsing this & everybody is riding a knife's edge of irritation that is starting to give
