The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.
It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.
Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.
Justice for Nolan Xavier Wells
There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.
All news posts are stronger with receipts:
Eight people accused by the Justice Department of having ties to antifa have been sentenced to decades in federal prison over a shooting out
You can support imprisoned people by sending them letters of support and money to use for the commisary and phone calls. Being in prison is expensive. Don't write anything that would get them in trouble. Prisoners' mail is read by guards.
Unironically, I hope Ned's doing okay. To get booted just before the Guys really start Trying new things? That has to be rough. I'm not being sarcastic. He made mistakes, he fucked up, he's dealing with a wealth of consequences even without his former group also successfully branching out. It's like Pete Best in a way, buy way less culturally significant.
Never mind...
GUYS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TESTING OM TRANS PEOPLE
GUYS IF THIS ISNT REBLOGGED IT WONT FUCKING BE SEEN.
A few things to clarify because we already know most of us won’t read the full thing:
-It’s literally just conversion therapy. Same as it ever was. It was not fully illegalized before the Trump administration, either.
-The ‘medical testing’ is anti-depressants, trying to ‘fix’ transgender people’s brains.
-Conservatives are uncreative asf. They’re trying old methods but are susceptible to people simply lying to their faces about how the “treatments” have worked.
Try to explain this to your parent.
Watching Siobhan Thompson saying "You're going to be jerking off in the corner because you're a fucking pervert" in a French accent while doing the jerk-off motion in CCoD ep 3 changed my life, even on the fifth or sixth time I rewatched it.

So Macaulay Culkin was not an insignificant part of Michael Jackson's life in the 1990s. Do you think they'll address their relationship in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael?
Macaulay Culkin also seems to be having a renaissance as an actor. Do you think he'll appear in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael?
Do you think someone ever considered having 45-year-old Macaulay Culkin play 10-year-old Macaulay Culkin in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael?
Syd claims that Horseshoe the goblin "must" speak in rhyme and "can't not" speak in rhyme. My headcanon is that Horseshoe has decided this entirely on his own. There's not mechanically a curse or hex. It's his choice 100%. This is, in-universe, exactly as strong as a curse or hex would be.
I'm not saying it wasn't funny, but...
I wouldn't have swapped out much.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is now considered a holiday classic and probably one of the best of the Muppets’ filmography, but when you look at it, it is such a departure from all the previous Muppet media. It’s much darker- both in terms of tone and color palette. There’s no celebrity cameos. A human is the central character instead of one of the Muppets. There are many new Muppets instead of relying on regular Muppets for some of the roles and some the Muppets are in roles you wouldn’t expect.
A lot of this makes much more sense with the context that this is the first Muppet project after Jim Henson’s sudden death and Muppeteer Richard Hunt was incredibly sick due to complications from AIDS that he was unable to participate (he would die during production). It’s a film created by a lot of people actively in the grieving process. You can feel that grief in scenes like the ones in the Cratchit home. It also explains why certain Muppets appear and some don’t. They really only use Jim and Richard’s characters when they have to. You can’t have a Muppet movie without Kermit, so Kermit is in. Statler and Waldorf are both perfect for Jacob Marley, so they both had to be recast because they were performed by Richard and Jim (which makes the fact they are ghosts kind of sad). Beaker is one of Richard’s characters and because you can’t have Bunsen without Beaker, Beaker was recast. Of Jim’s other major characters, Dr. Teeth and Rowlf are present but silent and the Swedish Chef has a more active cameo. Of Richard’s regular characters, only Janice is present. Scooter and Sweetums are not in the film. Frank Oz was busy with other jobs, so he really only does his main four of Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, and Sam the Eagle. Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, and Jerry Nelson did a lot of the main characters, except the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future. Jerry Nelson did the face puppeteering and voice of the Ghost of Christmas Present. I think it speaks to Jerry Juhl’s skill as a writer that he was able to not only adapt to these casting considerations, but also write one of the most faithful adaptations of A Christmas Carol.
I'm considering each Muppet's role in the story, too.
Yes, Kermit's there, but he very much plays a supporting role. Whitmire isn't tasked to do an entire movie as Kermit right out of the gate.
Beaker appears, but very briefly. He and Bunsen don't do any of their major schtick. There's that lovely scene of Beaker gifting Scrooge his scarf (a final gift from Richard?)
Janice is present, but in little more than a cameo. Same with Animal. Piggy and Fozzie have much less to do in comparison to their normal roles. Sam has one simple scene. Each is basically only in one scene and setting, just enough for Oz to stop by, do his thing, and then go back to directing his own stuff.
--
Then, they made Treasure Island and we can see this strategy evolve. The primary leads are the human Kevin Bishop and Tim Curry, and the two are given multiple scenes without Muppet support.
Of the Muppet performers, Goelz and Whitmire are again pushed forward with Kermit having a larger--but still not huge--role.
Oz's characters are used a little more, but that's only because Kevin Clash is the one performing them on set. Clash also picks up his own major character of Polly Lobster. Bill Barretta likewise gets Clueless Morgan, and Nelson's main character is Mad Monty. Nelson also gets the opening scene for himself as Blind Pew. All brand-new characters.
The Chef, of course, has only an obligatory cameo ("How else did you think we were gonna get him in this movie?") and the Electric Mayhem basically only play background music. The two members who speak are Zoot (Goelz) and Floyd (Nelson).
This is the late-90s Muppets stable of performers. Whitmire and Goelz are pretty much the leads, Nelson does a few old staples and a few new one-offs, Oz's characters are used sparingly, and the new kids (Clash and Barretta) get a chance to show off their stuff. It's how Muppets Tonight and Muppets From Space were cast as well.
Like, we can see the history of the Muppets and the Muppet performers as a troupe through the casting decisions.

Oh, that's what the story was about. I honestly had no idea what was going on.
I think it's really cool that Ken Jeong keeps his medical license even if he doesn't practice.
Musical Theatre Hot Take:
I like Shrek the Musical, but I'm not a fan of Rent.
This season of Dimension 20 is about a group of friends with a long, long history of adventures and inside references, which they drop at a moment, leading to confusion from people outside the group,
and they're all roleplaying as air ship pilots.
"See you in the soup!" "From Neverafter?!"
