I post this without fear or favour:
The Muppet Movie (1979) is as charming and entertaining a film as almost any. Comedy, romance, pathos, comedian bears driving taxi cabs.

I really enjoyed talking to Giles for the Call to Action podcast about writing and also the recent piece I wrote about burnout and becoming a demotivational speaker (we kind of expanded on all that quite a bit)
Imagine an aggressively-filtered Instagram photo of a gym wall mural that’s basically just the words 'Believe. Achieve. Receive' painted in some gloopy old Huel. Well, this week's CTA episode is the exact opposite of that, thanks to our guest @patrickfreyne.bsky.social

NEW: Why not calling a Nazi salute a Nazi salute puts us in a whole new place of danger. We have to call spades spades or what else is there?

Yes, you did see what you think you saw. Here's an idea, let's call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute.

Just remembered that The Muppet Show theme song contains the line “it’s time to put on makeup” and it makes me wonder what they look like without it, maybe they look normal

Gonna borrow this phrase next time “appropriate and necessary”
After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."
This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Cookin Soul beats with a mix of old DOOM accapellas and his Adult Swim Xmas idents. One of my faves.

We flew 5 hours to get from Sydney to Perth. This place is absurd. 5 hours. That’s London to Baghdad distances. And instead of being 11 hours ahead it’s now 3 hours back. And at the aquarium earlier we met a snail that can kill you. This place is ridiculous.
