THE MUPPET SHOW IS BACK! Like, this is as close as we're ever going to get to the original program and it is wonderful. Once you get past the uncanny valley hump (the voices and camera angles aren't all exactly what they were), there is so much joy and whimsy and the right sensibility here. 1/2
With the new Muppet Show special, Seth Rogen and company finally did the thing every Muppets fan has been asking for forever: They just made The Muppet Show again. My review:
Review: They just made 'The Muppet Show' again. Finally.
Seth Rogen takes Kermit, Fozzie, and Miss Piggy back to basics for a 50th anniversary special that will hopefully lead to a new ongoin show

if you don’t have institutional or formal power, make a spectacle. dramatize. educate. draw attention to what you want people to see and the tell them what would help fix it. these aren’t novel tools and schumer could use them!
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

We've paid 32 families rent today.
Thank you to the random one of you who paid like half of those.

I said we were done asking for rent money. But today I heard the horrifying fact that there are zero family shelter beds in the entire state of Minnesota. So we are going to try something new.
We are going to do peer to peer funding. You take on urgent‼️ funding for one family. You send to them.

This really underscores the extent to which the GOP views ICE not as immigration enforcement, but as a partisan goon squad intended to do the party's bidding and not the people's - it must be abolished.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
