Did you get some cash for the holidays? Here’s one great way to spend it!

Hey baby, I hear the wildest ride in the wilderness a-callin’

100000%. Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus = adjacent vibes without fully breaking the seal.

You snuck in under the wire! And it absolutely counts. Unlike, say, Spotify Wrapped, which for better or worse doesn’t factor in December listening habits. (Which is just as well for me, as I think of Q4 as “the Vince Guaraldi Corridor”…)

The best theatre I’ve seen all year. I’m not kidding. If you’re even remotely near-ish, you want to be there. Thank me later.

The other night, @thatames.bsky.social told me a story about how she once visited a friend’s midcentury house that had its own fallout shelter.
“Isn’t that bonkers?” she asked.

“Actually,” I replied, “it’s bunkers.”

Reader, she did not eject me from the car. That is true friendship.

The cover of The Selected Correspondence of Aaron Copland, featuring a photo of Copland outdoors at a typewriter, wearing a long-sleeved black shirt but with bare legs.

Today I was reminded of this picture of Aaron Copland that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen as a dorky undergrad music major circa 2006. I made a Facebook group called "Aaron Copland didn't wear pants, so why should I?"

Life-changing content

Somebody back me up on this!

You’re the best!!! 💖

Thank you! 💖

We have an absurd amount of money to raise to make this thing happen, but I’m just crazy enough to think we have a chance. Even if it takes the help of frogs and bears and chickens and things to get us over the finish line. 💜 (3/3)

…but we are open to any and all suggestions. Custom performances of Muppety songs? Seriously, sky’s the limit. I’m so down to clown to make my dream album a reality. What is the Muppet (fan) content you’ve been craving? All suggestions are very welcome. (2/3)

Hi! I now have a lot of new followers thanks to @muppeturgy.com’s starter pack (I assume?), so I’m going to put it to y’all directly: what sort of Muppety shenanigans would convince you to donate to my Kickstarter? We have discussed doing special episodes or an online live event or merch… (1/3)

I am obsessed! Please sign me up for one of these houses in the Space San Gabriel Valley immediately. I watched with a friend who described it as “Amblin-core”, which is perfection.

Same??? I fully do not understand the level of hate it gets. Do people hate joy?

Also I am in the top 0.005% of Wave listeners, not incriminating in the slightest

WAVE IS LIFE!!!!!

Christie Wrote A Musical! — Muppeturgy …actually Christie has written several musicals but we specifically want to tell you about a project she’s been working on, a musical called The Fitzgeralds of St. Paul , about the lives of Zelda a...

We don't just make your second-favorite Muppet podcast – we also make other stuff! For example, @timidfrieda.bsky.social is making an album of her musical.

Post your favorite Pokémon, wrong answers only

I was giving her the benefit of the doubt…

Bahahaha A+ “yes, and” game

A girl in middle school once told me I was wrong, that they weren’t called the Muppets, they were “the Muffets.”

Anyway, I periodically remember her and wonder which MLM drained her savings.

Relatedly: do you love new musicals? Care to throw a few bucks towards the most exciting musical theatre album of 2025? Or tell your friends about it?

I am about to embark on a month and a half of intense shameless self-promotion — like way more than I am built for — and my teeth are itching already. Why did I, an extreme introvert with social anxiety, go into showbiz? Is sending rats under the table at Sardi’s to do it for me actually an option?
