I know The Muppet Christmas Carol is amazing, BUT DON’T SLEEP ON CHRISTMAS EVE ON SESAME STREET!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Yet another reason I feel so cynical. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Well, he made it! Happy 100th, Dick Van Dyke! I grew up on Mary Poppins. (Still one of my favorites!) And I enjoyed seeing him dance at 93 when he made his appearance in Mary Poppins Returns years ago. And I started rewatching The Dick Van Dyke Show months ago—a show I loved and grew up on.

Right here! This is a picture of Chicago Avenue. Right across the street from the Kroger parking lot. Tapeworm started out on the left side of the building. But then they moved to the right side—where they were (I believe) for most of its time in business.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I’m trying a little under 10 recipes. And they’re *almost* exclusively from The Golden Girls Cookbook. Why? I don’t know. I found it on Hoopla, and I’m just going for it! (Plus, who doesn’t love The Golden Girls?)

The longer I live, the more I realize that there are people who think Alaska and Hawaii are to the south of the continental United States because of maps like this:

We went to a parade tonight. All I’m saying is: I have questions.

It's hard to take much pleasure in anything these days. But after years of hearing how old and tired and incognizant Biden was, I'm sure getting a kick out of watching him decline.

This is a picture that we’ve had hung in our house for years. Occasionally, I look at it and think, “Wait. Were they hiding Jesus’s face in the tree?” I’m not making this up, right? You see it too?

The highlight of my night was being on the winning team that narrowly won trivia night at the local bar, and one of the final questions was naming the 2009 movie shot locally that I happened to be a featured extra in! (And in which I got to give a disgusted look to Anna Kendrick as I walked by.)

Horror is often overlooked. But at least John Carpenter got his star on April 3. And he graciously let Robert Englund Halloween day.

Do you think that if he ever wants a thrill he just grabs himself by the neck?

My daughter loves everything about Count Chocula except the marshmallows. And I’ve been having a hard time processing this information.

Neighborhood Halloween decorations have encouraged me to learn the difference between a sickle and a scythe. #themoreyouknow

I just realized the other day at the grocery store that they still made the old, classic, chalky Flintstones Vitamins. So I bought them. Will our kids like them? Who knows. I guess if they don’t, I’ll be eating them.

I’ve heard about these British candies but could not find them anywhere close to home. So of course, I had to order them. Can confirm they are MUCH better than Whoppers!

A week late, but RIP Robert Redford. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will always be one of my favorites.

Trying to decide if this new emoji is supposed to be when you’re feeling like Steve Buscemi or Peter Lorre.

I’m enjoying the hot dog–eating this year because it perfectly encapsulates how I feel.

It’s our fault for thinking there was even a chance the Crypt-Keeper would vote to improve someone’s life.

We’re having a great summer! And no, you may NOT borrow my time machine! It’s always returned with nicks and scrapes!

There’s a new chain of Trump Burger restaurants. I assure you it’s not a cult. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM TO ASK IF THEY HAVE CHICKEN TACOS!!!

Look at this verified post! And BIDEN is the one you need to write a book on??? This man is deranged. He’s a trai.tor and a liar. The furthest thing from a patriot there could be.

They’re really taking to their new “Well, we’re all going to die” mantra.

And while I’m at it, it is important to remember that, as much as were told to blame those struggling with mental health for tragedies that happen every day, individuals with mental health conditions are much more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.

It always amazes me how much positive feedback my wife gets from strangers when she wears this shirt out in public. People constantly show their appreciation for this simple gesture. This message resonates because there is so much stigma to fight against. 1/4

When I think this world seems too cruel, I hold onto the fact that when I was young (1991), kids voted to finally give the rabbit that damn cereal! (I just read that the same poll was taken in 1976 and 1980. They voted to give him the cereal then as well.)

Kevin Sorbo—the star of 2017’s Let There Be Light, which was executive-produced by Sean Hannity—would like you to know that Canada is done.

This is starting to feel like that Onion headline “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”

The highlight of my Easter was when I convinced the kids, with the help of an off-brand Cocoa Puffs cereal, that I found the door the Easter Bunny entered through because of the evidence that was left behind. My daughter was DISGUSTED when I picked it up with my bare hands! Happy Easter, everyone!
