Working downtown during convention season is always fun. Neat seeing public transit full of unique costumes. Having lunch in the food court today was a parade of creativity.

It was hard enough losing Dolly yesterday. ☹️ And now, we cry a sea of black tears for our very own Doviculus: The irreplaceable Tim Curry.  May these beloved legends rest well, as we carry their spirit forward~   🩷🖤

Both are good and valid

There are two good ways to act with the Muppets. Either you take the Michael Cain approach and pretend you are working with a professional troupe from the West End. Or the Tim Curry approach where you pretend you yourself are also a Muppet. RIP

There's a bajillion things to credit Tim Curry for, but I want to give a shout out for being THE voice of cartoon villains in the 1990s, for about ten years he voiced what felt like 1/3rd of all animated TV baddies out there.

It’s been interesting to see whose mind immediately went to Rocky Horror and whose mind immediately went to Muppets and whose mind immediately went to Clue and whose mind immediately went to SPAAAACE and on and on and on because no matter what age you are he’s iconic and very special to you

tim curry keeping up the bit twenty years after the fact by writing in his memoir that he and miss piggy had an affair during the filming of muppet treasure island is just so good and funny

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I feel like the kids who did poorly in science and history class are trying to get revenge on the kids who did well at science and history class and now we’re all going to die

I had no idea until just now that there was any such "restoration" of Super Show

WildBrain, behind the poorly executed 'Super Mario Bros. Super Show!' AI restorations, has acquired kid-focused genAI company Personality AI. Personality AI is behind Amazon’s interactive 'Hey Peppa Pig' experience. www.cartoonbrew.com/business/wil...

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

Sony's live service trend chasing has to be one of the most disastrous things to have happened in gaming, a historic bag fumble forcing studios lauded for their single player games into producing live service bullshit that nobody wanted, pissing away nearly the entire console generation.
