The Endoscopy Center emailed me a survey link regarding a colonoscopy experience.
Since they were soliciting my feedback directly from me, boy did I use the comment space to talk about the lack of staff masking mandates and flicking on the air filter manually in the waiting room.

Post-#TheMuppetShow, we need to talk more about classic SESAME STREET.
They did Ingmar Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL, with Telly and Oscar standing in for Siskel & Ebert. Now there's a cute sketch that also happens to teach you to count to 7.

Since I first watched the 1992 film adaptation with Ralph Fiennes, it surprises me that most #WutheringHeights movies don't bother adapting the second generation.

I was lining up at the check-out when this (unmasked) stranger walked in front of me. At first, I thought she was cutting me or going to ask something. It turns out she was reading my labeled mask I LOVE SOMEONE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM. And she chuckled... the story gets very weird from here.

I never got to see MOULIN ROUGE! on Broadway (coincidentally also directed by the 2026 #TheMuppetShow director Alex Timbers), but I'm admittedly astonished that this long-runner is closing now.
“Moulin Rouge! The Musical” will end its Broadway run this summer.

I have a conspiracy about "Rob Lake Magic with Special Guests The Muppets" on Broadway. I haven't seen it (closing too soon to act on my press invite). I imagine the creative team discussed deploying Statler and Waldorf if reactions get rough but decided against it.

If you really love #MuppetShow that much, it should be y'all White Whale that its director Alex Timbers (theatre people also know him as the director of BEETLEJUICE, GUTENBERG!, HERE LIES LOVE stage musicals) directed a Muppets 15-min stage presentation back in 2013. And we weren't invited.
Only true theatre and puppet fans would be annoying about this trivia: Before he got called upon to direct the #TheMuppetShow 2026 special, Alex Timbers directed a 15-min live stage concept with the Muppets.

The fact that a trans woman was the first person to try and sue Jeffrey Epstein for sex, trafficking her, and how the media treated her like trash and the case was thrown out only for it to be proven with the files release?
Unsurprising. Horrifying but unsurprising.
You’ve never listened to us.
