Sabrina Carpenter being on The Muppet Show makes perfect sense. I think she’s basically a muppet to begin with. Like in the field of contemporary celebs she’s gotta be in like, the top ten of obvious muppets masquerading as people.

you can patiently write a whole essay about how the problem of hierarchy and tolkien's aristocratic racism(s) generates the structures that eventually lead to a kinslaying and someone will read all that and be like yes, exactly, it was all morgoth's fault and he deceived everyone abt hierarchy.

History is both short and long, both individual and mass, both specific and systemic. It is full of contingency and chaos, and full of systems, traditions and ideologies that create logics. There is no puppet master, there are no strings, just power and history, moving through us and moved by us

I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵
