Get a shovel!

After reading this news bit, I think we need to find these people a job. If all they have to do in a day is peruse the media looking for ways to hurt people, let me give them a shovel and direct them to the nearest cow barn.

Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe accused the Muppet of “brainwashing children,” while Newsmax host and former Trump adviser Steve Cortes slammed the announcement as “evil” propaganda.Both made false claims that children are not at risk of COVID-19. While most children infected with the virus exhibit only mild symptoms, experts say vaccines can prevent many infections and hospitalizations, as well as disruptions to schooling.

And some went much darker, like Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck and alt-right social media personality Mike Cernovich. Many observers noted the irony of the pile-on, given that Big Bird is both a fictional character and one known for spreading messages of kindness and curiosity. Plus, they pointed out, this isn’t the first time he’s gotten vaccinated.

“Dear God” starring Greg Kinnear is a comedy with a touching story.

In order to avoid a jail sentence, con man Tom Turner (Greg Kinnear) promises a judge he’ll get an honest job for a year. But when he starts working in the U.S. Post Office’s dead letter office, he’s moved by some letters addressed directly to God. After he starts a Good Samaritan con by replying to the letters, his co-workers (Laurie Metcalf, Tim Conway, Héctor Elizondo) are inspired to do the same. But their good work is frowned upon by the postmaster general — and the cops.

Release date: November 1, 1996 (USA)Director: Garry Marshall

MLMM Wordle #265

Sophie was not your ordinary cat left on the doorstep. She held the high bounce record of her species. In other words, Sophie would be able to make a colossal jump right onto or off any building she wanted, and obtain a steep descent without harm. She was a brawny creature and worth every cent they paid for her company. She was hoarded by building maintenance workers any time they found her wanting a saucer of milk. Even the old sewer drains held up by rotting wood were her specialty in rat hunting, so city workers loved her too.

Looking for Love?

So much for the solemn attitude

I’m not a fan of solitude

I like to try to impress

That’s why I chose this dress

I grade your reaction as glum

You’re not as friendly as some

If you’re just looking for peace

My flirtatious efforts will cease.
