You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

The cause of the male loneliness crisis is that they arrested Jeffrey Epstein, the only man who appears to have had friends.

People know there's more to being a puppeteer than just doing a dead-on Jim Henson impersonation, right? For one, you have to carry an entire franchise (and storytelling medium) on your ability to make quips about eating flies and fearing Miss Piggy. You are the face of classic puppetry globally.

(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

The thing that drives me most crazy about the pearl-clutching over the "adult humour" on #TheMuppetShow special is that in the 70s and 80s, people understood that you can get away with "dirty" jokes as long they go over the kids' heads, and now everyone is an absolutely miserable loser.

Rewatched A Mighty Wind last night and "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" and the climactic kiss between Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy absolutely destroyed me. The way Catherine was the heart of absolutely every production she was ever in.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

#TheMuppetShow special also nails the very specific Muppet Show versions of the characters, which is distinct from their Hollywood personas. For ex, this isn't genuine-movie-star Piggy. This is Muppet Show Piggy who isn't actually all that but thinks she is. That's CRUCIAL.
