Today is the 25th anniversary of Blue’s Clues, and the hosts all got together to sing you a song:
This is adorable and all, but the real kick in the pants is this: a message and apology from original host Steve to all the former viewers for leaving the show so abruptly:
So about that time Steve went off to college… #BluesClues25 pic.twitter.com/O8NOM2eRjy

Y’ALL, I WAS A FULL GROWN-ASS ADULT WHEN THIS SHOW PREMIERED, NOT A CHILD, AND THIS STILL GOT ME ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS.
I’m not the only one, either:
Therapist: “How are you this week?”
Me: “Steve came back to Blues Clues and now I’m an emotional wreck.”
Therapist: *Pulls out handy dandy notebook* https://t.co/5v1ZgIjXjv

There are a lot of people out there who are VERY MAD at Mulaney for impregnating Munn (while he was still married to his wife, Anna, if the math is correct). I have to admit, I found myself harboring some disappointment towards him, myself. But the truth is, none of us know anything about anyone else’s relationship, no matter how perfect it might seem from the outside. And so with that in mind, I send them nothing but good wishes and hope that he stays healthy.
Some very good news:
Back to work on Better Call Saul! So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people. BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting! pic.twitter.com/lTAfPg7dDp

Some unfortunate news: Stephen Colbert has grown a mustache.
Is Regé-Jean Page going to make a cameo in season two of Bridgerton? Yes, probably, obviously.
About Evil‘s sex goo … (spoilers if you’re not caught up with season two).
Jared Padalecki is out here hinting at a Supernatural reunion on Walker.
Lisa Rinna’s daughter (20) is no longer dating Kourtney Kardashian’s ex (38) and we are all very relieved.

Last week:
This week:
So, yes, it looks like there has been a decrease in the number of cases since last week, but do remember, these numbers are from a long weekend. If the numbers continue to go down for the next two weeks, we might be able to consider it a trend, but it’s too early to get hopeful. And leaving that aside, there is absolutely nothing to celebrate about the fact that we are back up to 1,500 deaths a day. Horrifying.
1 in 75 Tennesseans has COVID right now. ONE IN SEVENTY-FIVE.
The good news is that we are back to nearly 1,000,000 doses of vaccine being administered a day. Here in Harris County, we FINALLY have 50% of our entire population vaccinated (it had been hovering at around 46% for the last couple of months) which includes children who aren’t eligible for the vaccine.
The bad news is that as of five days ago, Texas has recorded 50,000 pediatric cases in the past couple of weeks, and 59 deaths, the most in the country. But tell me more about our Governor’s pro-life, “saving babies” stance.
Texas schools have amassed more than 50,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in students in just a couple of weeks. The state is a leader in child deaths from COVID-19 with 59 as of Sept. 3. | via @TPRNews https://t.co/9ZoCzW6pb4

Police and prison guards have some of the highest rates of COVID of any profession, and the police unions are actively fighting vaccine mandates across the country. It’s leading to more cops dying of COVID than anything else.
That dipshit Joe Rogan has recovered from his COVID diagnosis after testing positive last week. And I am not wishing that he had become sicker, but I do know this will just lead to more idiots taking horse paste and shitting their pants in the grocery store instead of getting the PERFECTLY SAFE VACCINE.
Mandates need to be happening for every production. People's health is on the line in addition to a lot of money. And let's be real: Miles Teller is very replaceable. You could swap him out for Dave Franco and it would arguably be an upgrade. https://t.co/7zNg0w00Jm

Tom Brady caught COVID at the post-Super Bowl party last February.
Johnny Bench caught COVID and had to miss the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
At least five anti-vaxx radio hosts died of COVID in August. And right now, a Florida councilman who spread disinformation about the virus is hospitalized with COVID. And the unvaccinated guy who organized the recall effort against Gavin Newsom also has COVID. Too bad.
The virus is giving the people organizing The Emmys a huge headache.
Patton Oswalt has canceled shows in Florida and Utah where venues have refused to require proof of vaccination or negative tests. Good. Fuck those places.
I hate when I agree with Seth MacFarlane.
Recently on Fox News, Tucker Carlson has defended counterfeit vaccine cards, compared mask and vaccine mandates to “my body, my choice”, and suggested those working to stop Covid should be “punished severely.”
Oh also, Peter Griffin can’t say “goddamn.”

And in conclusion, get the fucking vaccine. Fuck.
