honestly, “it’s because they’re still mad about the New Deal” is a pretty good guiding hypothesis for a lot of stuff
The standard story was that 1950s religious revivals were about contrasting America with the godless commies of the USSR, but I found material that hinted at an older well funded campaign that reframed the revival as a corporate pushback against the New Deal.
So I followed that unexpected thread!

As a multiple language speaker it's also frustrating to see people using AI for translation because the English speaking world tends to treat translators like workers for hire instead of co authors of text and this feels like more of it. Translation at the literary level is creative work.

“Miss Piggy as Sister Tuck” is an entire drag show in one person
Kermit assigns Piggy the role of Sister Tuck, the equivalent of the Robin Hood story's Friar Tuck.

y'know, a couple years ago I got a couple boxes of holiday flavor biscotti (I think gingerbread and chocolate peppermint?) and ever since I only *really* want biscotti around this time of year
like I'd absolutely eat biscotti whenever if offered, but this is when I *seek it out*, of any flavor

Tbh good, I adored the experience I had before learning about this shit, effortless GOTY for me and I still love the story and OST despite the AI but other companies should see that you can't get away with even temporarily making the mistake of fucking with AI.
