I want to stress that the views expressed in these parody lyrics are VERY SPECIFICALLY not mine:
It's like John Lennon said in Imagine:
Imagine I'm not complicit /
It's easy if you try /
I kicked Macklemore off my tour for non-specific reasons /
I wasn't explicit why
Imagine all the people living or possibly dying /
Yoo-hoo, ooh ooh

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Yes, yes. They could just redo the Muppet Show, but let's be honest here. What you really want is:
Redo movies w/ 1 human

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

God I wish I was involved with the Jimmy Olsen show because this looks amazing. I have no, repeat no inside information and I don't know what the story is here at all, but I've been thinking of it as "The Grodduate."

The thing about Centrists is if you tell them to pick a finger and cut if off, they will say "pinky" when the right answer is obviously "no."

the thing is, MAHA is like. one end of the spectrum. the other end of the spectrum is NOT, however, the current medical system. that's the middle of that bell curve, that. the actual other end of the spectrum is 'the medical system without medical misogyny and racism' and it currently doesn't exist.
Getting a little nervous watching the AOC/MAHA backlash swing into "we must always trust the medical system" territory.
Especially coming from folks who have never had to ask the medical system to give a shit about their ovaries being covered in cysts or endo scarring eating their intestines.

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.
