The Hellaverse can be so boggy in its emotional ambitions (and generally I enjoy it still), but my algorithm is bringing me some insane takes about the season premiere.

I am heartbroken to hear the news that voice actress Ashleigh Ball, the voice behind Applejack and Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony, is currently battling Stage IV Triple Negative Breast Cancer since last August. To make it even worse, it’s said her survival rate is about up to five years.

The casting breakdown listed the writer as "Ben Stark," if you want to know why those people didn't respond to the obvious alarm bell of Ben Shapiro's name. They never saw it. I wonder if there's anything legally actionable in this.

I have a message to all who witnessed Laika’s #Wildwood before me. I have written each of your name on my hit list. I may like you, but I’m sorry, I’ll have to assassinate you with stone and slingshot.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

I read this and I believe it. So I wouldn't be able to know the nuances of this situation and how someone as high-profile as Danny Trejo got involved, but I do know as a background actor sometimes you enter a production with a codename without knowing what it's about.

The saddest thing that came from the Henson Prank Culture #NYCC26 panel was when a fan asked Dave Goelz if any legendary pranks occurred during MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL. But no one was in the spirit because they were still grieving for Jim Henson.

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

And the rando claimed he sold a possession (I don't recall what) to go all the way to meet Dave Goelz and give him that restaurant certificate. And Dave insisted he felt bad accepting this guy's restaurant certificate. But once Dave opened it... "GOT YOU - STEVE"

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

The audience cheered when Dave Goelz transitioned to a behind-the-scenes with MUPPETS FROM SPACE. Some rando fan got into the set to offer Dave Goelz a restaurant certificate and script for "Muppets Odd Couple" (but Neil Simon didn't give him the rights)...

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

And then... Steve Whitmire (not present at the panel) and Dave Goelz reveal themselves in the camcorder footage to have staged this prank, hiring an improv actor.

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

And the edited footage showed a lit circle at the goat's tail, signaling to the audience that the goat pooped on the guy's porch. And the goatowner kinda like kicked the droppings into the yard, "Those are good for the trees I think." ...

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Captured on a grainy camcorder, a Muppet director got an unusual visitor: a stranger asking him to get his GOAT, which strung along WITH HIM, into showbiz. They had this long-winded conversation about the right person to find, and the director's little daughter came out to keep petting the goat...

There's a story that Frank Oz propagated the idea that he was afraid of birdseeds. The office/workshop had a nap room. Frank Oz went inside, closed the door, arranged the blinds- He SCREAMED from behind the door. Don Sahlin, a Muppet designer, had rigged the blinds with birdseeds.

Just to name a few #NYFF64 movies I missed and couldn't appraise for myself since I either had my retail job or my body didn't have the constitution: ROSE, IRON BOY (I really wanted to make it to that one), ARTIFICIAL, BUCKING FASTARD, YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING (I was on my period), PAPER TIGER, etc.

If you missed the complete face-plant that was MAGA's "James Talarico was secretly in an Ohio mental health facility" story last night, this is pretty much all you need to know on how it turned out.

Grant Cardone on Talarico story:

"Thanks for breaking the story whether it's true or not"

Because American Airlines canceled a flight with little warning and no transparent reason, my mom had to manually rebook me to JFK airport, which is much farther and unsafer. And because it’s an early flight, it’s an expensive Lyft. Yeah, I could take the subway but not in the dark.

One clip showed Traveling Matt with text explaining that Dave Goelz was TERRIFIED of roller coasters and Dave had to ride it 13 times... And then... "Now Dave LOVES roller coasters." The entire room cheered. #NYCC26 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO_d...

Henson Prank Culture panel teaches is that the late Muppet writer Jerry Juhl loved writing Dave Goelz into the most strenuous positions ever, and the video they played (which we're not permitted to film) has cut-out reenactments of Dave squeezed into uncomfortable positions... #NYCC26

This might simplify the issue but I genuinely get confused about AI-generated “beings” being reported in Ava DuVernay’s work and the Musk documentary… Like, there’s a Nathan Fielder casting method that’s much more stimulating! Hire the actors

Many thoughts to work in, but a take is that we don’t work in enough criticism and protest of Governor Kathy Hochul and Julie Menin enough when validly criticizing Zohran Mamdani. (They’re NOT absent, but certainly the ratio isn’t matching the Mamdani one.)
