From today's hike:

Finally watched Muppets Haunted Mansion and was startled at how quickly it went from cute little Gonzo adventure to complete existential crisis while facing his fears of aging and dying alone. I was not prepared for that.

Pretty nice petard you got there. Be a shame if someone HOISTED IT.

Not vintage but it will be in 20 years! Seeing Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony last summer was a life highlight. Such a fun show.

The Muppets subreddit is one of the most neurodivergent places on earth and I love it.

I was today years old when I learned that Lt. Reginald Barclay was also Howling Mad Murdock from the A-Team and I kind of love that.

Oh hey.

Researching if Fozzie playing the guitar in The Muppet Movie was just him "acting" or if it's canon that he can actually play the guitar (couldn't remember), and those 2 bullets reminded me he can play guitar AND piano, but the top of that AIO is totally wrong. That was Flloyd 👩‍🎓

Screen grab of me asking Google "what's the first instance of fozzie the bear playing guitar" and it's initial answer is wrong because it thinks Fozzie played in the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sketch.

Everyone just assumes writers use AI now, so it's time to write more and more ridiculously to differentiate yourself. Use no punctuation. Write in 5th person narration. Make your introduction 3 words long. Capitalize at random. WRITE UNGOVERNABLE.

Had to explain to my 75-year-old mom what a 3D printer is today because at a craft fair she noticed multiple booths selling "the same weird plastic dragon crap."
