(Peter Wimsey voice) Let's get something out of the way. I know I look and sound like I personally know Bertie Wooster. I know that my entire mien is that of a devoted attendee of his gentleman's club. I know. Unfortunately I am the smartest person in a ten mile radius and there's been a murder.
“I—I'm afraid it's ridiculous of me to suppose you can help me," she began.
"Always my unfortunate appearance," moaned Lord Peter, with such alarming acumen as to double her discomfort. "Would it invite confidence more, d'you suppose, if I dyed my hair black an' grew a Newgate fringe? It's very tryin', you can't think, always to look as if one's name was Algy.”

I feel like I'm the only one that likes the 2015 abc Muppet show
You're def not the only one. I especially loved it when Kristen Newman was hired to be the showrunner mid season. However they had decided to cancel it at that point. I know a lot of people thought the show was missing "heart" and that the usual cringe comedy that works so well with The Office or interpersonal conflict creates comedy trope just wasn't what people wanted from the Muppets. When Kristin came on board, to me, that started to change. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to see that grow.
The series had it's issues, and while a lot f people didn't like Piggy and Kermit being separated, I personally, really enjoyed seeing that conflict (very much enjoyed Denise as a character and the fact that Kermit and Piggy were still obviously in love.) And the journey to get back to mending their relationship.
Also could've done a better title, ABC, just sayin'. Really messes with my tags here. LOL
OP is definitely not the only one.
We all miss it and it also deserved much better treatment than it got.
There was so much potential tbh

The Trump administration just shut down a food safety committee to prevent bacteria in baby formula.
They are also threatening to fire employees who prevent deli meat from being infected with Listeria and applesauce from being laced with lead.

Are you an American? Do you love our nation's national parks, our libraries, affordable health care, and essential checks and balances? DO YOU NOT WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH CANADA?
Fuck, are you just a European and you're highly emotionally invested in what's going on?
Well good news, help spread the news. Special elections April 1st and this is going to help break down the narrow majority Republicans hold on Congress.
Florida has two congressional seats up for election April 1st, and Wisconsin has a highly televised race for their supreme court Court that Elon Musk has invested millions into.
If you're Floridian, check to see if you're eligible to vote in either of the elections listed here.
If you're a Wisconsinite, for some ungodly reasons about half of your election information is buried in Google and hidden amongst government websites but, find your polling place now.

worst relationship status to have w someone is “objectively they’re a fine person who is nice but i don’t enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine”
second worst relationship status to have with someone is “objectively they’re a fine person but they Bother You”
secret third technically more harmless but in practicality more frustrating relationship status is “objectively they’re a fine person and they like so many of the same things i do but they like them in a fundamentally different way that is harmless but reads wrong to my brain and it has made attempts at forming an actual bond with them aggravating more than anything”
tbh i think stuff like this is why so many people, especially younger people, fall into this trap of “well if i don’t like a person or thing, they must be bad”. it would be so much easier if you could dismiss them as bad and move on. but it’s like, no, Objectively Fine people or things can just not mesh well with you for totally subjective reasons. and sometimes when they’re people you mesh much better with their brain than they do with yours. and sometimes you have to live with that.

I like to think of the Mythbusters with things like this. Like, Adam and Jamie respect each other greatly. Ask either of them about the other and they will say something like, "He is bright, hard-working, and we made some objectively great TV together. I respect him and wish him well in what he is doing, now and in the future. That being said, if I have to spend another half hour in a room with him I will set myself on fire."
Like, these are both cool people! These are both, as far as I know, good people! These are people who get on Each And Every Nerve that the other one has. This happens and it is okay.

Holy god. It’s the bomb of all Drama at work today.
Okay it might be less insane than previously thought.
Basically I got in and there was an email that there was a new policy on lunch breaks which is that we are required to clock out for 30 minutes for a meal break. Which wouldn’t be a problem except we’re often staffing stores alone. And the company was like “You’re not allowed to close the store, though, just clock out and don’t get paid for 30 minutes.”
This made a lot of people very unhappy and was widely regarded as a bad move.
So our manager was trying to go over the changes and I was like, “So I’m required to clock out for 30 minutes even if I’m alone in the store for the day.” Yes.
“I am going to leave the store. I am legally allowed to leave if you are not paying me.” You will get written up.
“That violates the labor laws and this company has had to pay for these violations previously. I will leave and look at birds.”
After a very long very aggressive meeting it turns out we might be able to waive the break and still get paid but calls are flying and we still have the right to clock out and close the store if we are working alone all day. The company loves to pretend that we do not.
Step-by-step walkthrough of how to push back on wage theft! Make them spell it out!
"I will leave and look at birds" is such a perfect encapsulation of "that time is mine actually and I shall do with it as I please" and I love it.
