Most people probably think of Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Hamilton guy, but personally I know him as the ‘Silent E is a Ninja guy’.
The first time I ever saw him was in an episode of the Electric Company where he sang a song about silent e. I had no idea who he was, so he was just the “Silent E is a Ninja” guy to me.
Years later, Hamilton became very popular and I was like OH MY GOD, ITS SILENT E IS A NINJA GUY!

R.I.P. Irene Cara
No words could make someone my age feel so old or so heartbroken as: Irene Cara: Dead at 63. It was just announced, no cause has been released.
I’ve contemplated tributes to her here before, as we’ve had already had occasion to mention her here serveral times. Her start was very old school — she appeared as a kid on Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour. She was in the kids’ band on The Electric Company. And…

I understand it's like, his job as an actor, but the fact that I've seen Josh Segarra in over 4 different shows and was shocked that it was HIM everytime because the characters were so different (physically, the way he speaks, how he dresses, even how he walks) is just so impressive and never ceases to amaze me!!!

BHOC: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #186
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #186 represented something of a turning point for the character, as new writer Marv Wolfman began charting out the direction he wanted to take the wall-crawler’s life in next. Last issue saw Peter Parker graduate from college, which seemed monumental for a series so associated with that environment, and now he was ready to move forward into the next phase of his life.

using a clip from "the electric company" (2009) for journalism tomorrow, and i decided to rewatch the episode the clip was in and my God i forgot how funny francine's summary of "little women" is (granted she was kind of tricked by hector & keith lol). for context, francine and lisa are in a debate as they run for book club president. francine goes:
f: "Little Women" is my absolute favorite book. i've read it over a hundred times. i guess what i love most about "little women" is that it's called "little women", but it's actually about ninjas.
s: i'm sorry. uh. what did you just say?
f: "little women" is the story of a plucky group of tiny, heroic, lady ninjas who band together to defend mt. rushmore. they may be tiny, samantha, but i think they're lady ninjas we can all look up to.
l: excuse me. there are no tiny, lady ninjas in "little women"
f: hahhahahhaha of course there are. nice try, lisa. samantha, you may just wanna go ahead and declare me the winner of this debate.
s: actually, she's right. there are no tiny, lady ninjas in "little women", so.
f: um, of course there are. who else do you think fights off the attacking army of miniture zombie cats?
s: "little women" also has no zombie cats
f: ... no zombie cats, either?
s: yeah. i'm afraid not.
