Happy 90th Birthday to the late, great Jim Henson… a person I never met, but who changed the course of my life by showing me the infinite possibilities of performance in a very tiny corner of Showbiz, a corner I’m so grateful that he created, filled with people I adore.

I have highly enjoyed Effin’ Birds for a few years now. Yet somehow I missed “Swear Trek,” despite being married to a fella who has sat me down in front of all things Trek during our 33 years of togetherness (making me a huge fan of “Lower Decks”). This is a very delightful rabbit hole.

My husband is reading producer Walter Mirisch’s autobiography and shared this tidbit with me: When they were prepping to shoot MOBY DICK, director John Huston had an idea for how to portray the whale: A shark in a whale suit. I repeat: A shark. In a whale suit. I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS.

Here’s a reminder that sometimes we can have nice things: a DIFFICULT PEOPLE Blu-Ray signed by the goddess herself, @julieklausner.bsky.social. If you missed this on Hulu, dial it up today! If you value physical media (and special features like in the olden days!), acquire a copy now!

A photo of the new Blu-Ray release of Hulu’s DIFFICULT PEOPLE (a fantastic show you need to watch if you enjoy seeing the finest comic actors in New York City rat-a-tatting some deeply hilarious jabs at Showbiz and life in mid-2010s), signed by creator/writer/star Julie Klausner.

What I love most about John Oliver & the @lastweektonight.com team is how they can swing so wildly from shining a light on the most sobering subjects to making whimsical dreams a reality… whether it’s buying & forgiving real medical debt or THIS, it’s everything Philo Farnsworth thought TV could be.

You’ll see why in four days, but the first episode will kick off The Onion and InfoWars airing a full block of explosive programming every Thursday, live at 8 ET, for the rest of the summer. I am so goddamn excited about this. Tell everybody you know. They will probably want to watch it live.

It must be wild for the youths to find out today that Ted Turner was — among other things — the guy who decided to desecrate a bunch of classic movies with colorization in the mid-to-late 1980s AND ALSO the “T” in @tcmtv.bsky.social…

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool

is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar

is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

To explain the incredibly important lesson I think Americans should take from the Orbán defeat, I have to start by telling you about my high school friend Jonah who is the biggest LA Dodgers fan I've ever met. Weird, I know. But deeply relevant. Let me tell you why. 🧵🧵🧵

I often watch film performances and think about what the text looked like on the page and how the actor saw those words and came up with their choices… … and the one I think about a lot is how Robert Duvall decided to put across “it’s a big, fat, big-titted hit” in NETWORK. Singular perfection.

In light of my last post, in the midst of recent events, it may seem like I am angry about the wrong things. Believe me when I say that I am angry about ALL of the things. I just can’t find the words for the very worst of the things.

Every word, every letter of this is so true. I’m not even in the Comedy-with-a-capital-C world and it feels like the already-few opportunities (especially union ones) for middle-class performers in all areas of the Biz are evaporating fast.

Looking at social media on New Year’s Eve makes you feel like you need to end the year with some profound thought, some punctuation, some final touch which will have everyone’s head nodding in solemn agreement as they repost your erudite reflection on the previous year. . . .
