Well, I misremembered half of it, but Homestar Runner was one of the many flash animations of the flash-craze heyday. Occasionally, they were puppets. From nearly 25 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSgRzCAtXA

It's probably turtles all the way down, but I think "A[n] ~~British~~ animators's email segment co-star ~~mispronounces~~ misspells 90s greeting" might be an even smaller domino.

Edited to replace failing memory.

Yes, but Trump has/had been taking legal marching orders from the Federalist Society which does support a strict read, no?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how folks in the US pull it back. The weight of money draws in so much disinformation and outright media complicity that even grassroots movements (eg. Bernie, RCV) have been safely tampered out.

I had no idea of this entity, but I work with enough similarly, highly nuanced public professionals that I recognize that the rapid and blind "immediately destroy all gubberment" approach will have widespread oh-holy-fuck consequenes if not just for the extensive brain vacuum potentially left in the wake of this type of growing mentality. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspective.
