Hear me out:
A biopic on the life of Charles Dickens, but Charles Dickens is played by the Great Gonzo.
He is also the only Muppet, everyone else is played by humans. This is never noticed or acknowledged by anyone at any point.

"The air was filled with phantoms, wandering hither and thither, ... moaning as they went. The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever."

If you see ice in the area, blow short bursts on the whistle.
If they're actively snatching someone, long blows.”

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

What’s in My Bag: Illustrated Journal Travel Kit Edition
I can't help but watch videos where people share what's in their purses or backpacks. They're a fun way to learn more about someone and their interests. If it means I'm nosy, so be it. It's only fair that I share what's in my bag after my voyeuristic swiping on Instagram reels. To keep within the theme of this Well-Appointed Desk, let's take a tour through my illustrated journal travel kit.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

The slow symptomatic wave of the beginning murmurs of a cold. I don't know if this is better knowing that I need to treat it now or worse as I wait for more symptoms to slowly appear and get more intense.

There's less fraud in disability benefits than the average millionaire's tax return. We can't save money by screwing over disabled people - that would lead to higher spending in health and social care. (As well as being a crappy thing to do.)
Tax wealth; raise welfare.

The page that’s stayed in my mind for over three decades from Jack Hamm’s Cartooning the Head and Figure. It’s such an elegant solution to not just crowds, but most anything: Draw just enough information to allow the viewer’s brain to fill the rest in.
