Nicely Nicely Jones @nicelynicelyjones.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I bow to no-one in my regard for either Cookie Monster or Tom Waits, but this makes Cookie Monster sound like the voice of despair, which is a shame, for the one thing that Cookie Monster does, almost better than anything else, is to make people feel better.
