The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 12h agoThere are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)
The thing I’ve greatly enjoyed about my corner of Michigan is the contrast of how people clock me at different kids stuff. Younger kid stuff: “Are you new here? Where’s that accent from? That’s unusual!” Bigger kid stuff: “Look at this daddin’-assed dad daddin’ his ass up in here.”
Rarely has art so vividly taken the murder inside someone’s heart and placed it on the outside for all to look at.
Off Tackle Republic@offtacklerepublic.bsky.social · 14h agoOh, you like Big Ten sports? Do you like them enough to build Purdue Pete menacing Brutus Buckeye in LEGOs form? #B1G #CFB
What do you mean you can’t agree to a premise for The Muppet Show revival? The premise is you do The Muppet Show, with new guest stars. Like, that’s it. You did it. WTF? deadline.com/2026/09/the-...

Y'all, why are we doing this? You're not kicking out LSU over this shit.
Chris Vannini@chrisvannini.com · 3d agoThe SEC's amended federal lawsuit against LSU says they believe Lane Kiffin is working with player lawyers, and that LSU has no meaningful control over the football program. The league will consider expelling LSU at a previously-scheduled Sept. 10 meeting.
Briefed up my eldest this morning on the Michigan one-second thing before she went to school in A2.
They finally caught the Heisman House guys for trying to run a tontine, huh?
I keep having this thought today: I get why they don't want to do a nightcrawlers spinoff of The Pitt... but damn, they got a badass nickname and everything.
No clock on the field. No comms between player and coach. No PA. We're going Whole 30 football down in Tallahassee.
Jimbo, you got too much money to say that the fans are showing up tomorrow no matter what.
The frustrating part of this is that you really can’t pitch some press on stories about the process of government figuring things out or even private sector problems. They’ll say it’s too “wonky” and cerebral for their readers. I get it, I was press, I had those editors, but yeah, not really.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 5d agoStepping back, my main objection is not so much at the Times does pieces like this. Instead, it is that they and others don’t cover more substantive stories of government reform (I give some examples).
A call to journalists to check an underappreciated bias. Speaking truth to power does not mean that government must be the villan of of every story --- landlords, contractors, even potholes can be antagonists. The truth is, sometimes government works, and sometimes it does not.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from me: The NY Times piece criticized Mamdani for using influencers to share his agenda. But negativity bias means that legacy media like the Times does not cover substantive government stories about Mamdani trying to make the government work better. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/publish/post...
That IS a complete-looking faction.
Fightful Wrestling @fightful.com · 4d agoBronson Reed: 'The Vision Is Whole'
As a community, we got to switch to some Ann Arbor-specific explanations for the one-second thing.
Not sure how much of this is the rivalry game tax, but Demond Williams looks rough as a passer.
I like a lot of the components of Rick and Morty, but the show got too unnecessarily dark for me at one point. President Curtis, though, cuts it just enough. Better yet, it has Keith David, Stephanie Beatriz, and Jim Rash as the leads.
I have no idea what happened in the football game, but why does this look like the back cover of a Dean Koontz novel ©️1983.

Did Kyle Whittingham just say "I don't know what to say" to Lance Taylor? Me too, me too.
Whatever multi year psyop got me to move to Ann Arbor, this all-maize uniform by the local football concern feels like the next stage of it.
Think the fella in that Navy Credit Union Commercial really was going to break up with his lady, but then panicked and the car problem bailed him out.
