Look at the density of visual gags & performer “business” in this MUPPET SHOW number, and all of it elevating the central musical performance. It also is comprised entirely of one-off characters for just this bit. But it radiates effortless fun in a way few modern Muppet bits do.

I really don’t think that’s the case. I do think that probably these people hate femininity, which they see as weakness. But that doesn’t mean that they are secretly gay or trans. And I think that it does damage to insist that they are. Maybe some are, but definitely not all.

If yall wanna see some extremely hateful, nasty, ableism take a look at the quotes and replies of this post and this guy’s opinion of people who care about covid. This is a common refrain about my thread! People are FURIOUS that I said hey have some empathy for the disabled.

Also to your other post, it's 2026. We have highly effective vaccines. We have COVID medication that is either free or highly affordable.
Yes, immunocompromised people always have a risk. They should have spaces, but this is all born of COVID paranoia and doomerism.

The unspoken part of "Vote blue no matter who" is that you are supposed to be making an educated decision about candidates who have been honest about who they are and what they support. And the candidates are not holding up their end of the deal.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

it's two things, to me: 1) trans rights matter because trans people matter and deserve rights, not just because failing to stand for trans rights is a bellwether for inauthentic progressivism more broadly 2) if you can't be trusted on trans rights you can't be trusted on anything

Ironically, I dont think the anti-trans rhetoric is going to make any swing voters side with the fascists, but the Dems race to sacrifice trans people in order to court right-leaning people is going to drive away the Dems own base who have soured on the whole "vote for the lesser evil" shtick.

The reason cats are the best pet, is because you know if the little bastard is hanging around you its because they choose to. Inside every cat is another cat ready to renegotiate its living arrangements with any and all applicants that are willing to provide better amenities than it already has.

Journalists need to stop describing these incidents in terms implying software has agency and intent. It does not. The people who created a faulty and dangerous product are the ones responsible for whatever happens, and must be held to account, with punitive financial penalties for damage done.
