It's been seven months since The Muppet Show special streamed on Disney+ to universal acclaim and strong streaming numbers, and yet, I cannot help but notice there are no additional episodes of The Muppet Show that have been broadcast since nor news of a new series?

I'm researching another pneumatic tube post for Tube Talk (coming to your inbox Sunday!) & found this photo from 1912 of a dude moving meat via a hanging basket. I think I love it? Look at this mustached man moving some 1912 meat. 😍 🥩 This is what gen AI is taking away from us.

enjoying imagining the discussion among editors in which they determined if this ought to be pluralized as Spider-Mans, Spider-Men, or Spiders-Man

The former World Liberty adviser said the scenario reminded him of the meme in which two Spider-Mans point at each other.
