The chickenized reverse centaur is a new circle of labor hell, a genuinely innovative way of making workers' lives worse in order to extract more billions for one of the most profitable companies in history.

@pluralistic Alternatively you could just call them Meat Puppets? Contracted to "muppets".

(I went for that in "Quantum of Nightmares".)

@cstross @pluralistic
That seems like slander against Kermit the Frog and company.

(Also of note, earlier today I saw alt text of a picture of Kermit the Frog describe him generically as "an animated frog character". ...He's a *practical effect*, you philistine.)

@pteryx @pluralistic I grew up without muppets or sesame street.
