The algorithm has brought me here and I am eternally grateful. These puppets are giving me life.

Another great video! (though I think Walter would be a bit more interested in Chanukah :) )

[@theoreticalpuppets]

Yes, but Christmas was also celebrated in liberal Jewish families back than ...

[@JacobHermant]

Agreed, though I would (perhaps optimistically) think that he would have vouched for Chanukah just a tad more :)

NOT Cheesy at all 😂 Merry Christmas 🎄🥂

have yall thought about creating a cynical baudrillard puppet?

[@theoreticalpuppets]

we thought about a (not cynical) baudrillard puppet... we will see!

This is weirdly orgasmic. Not Benjamin, he is being purposefully orgasmic describing commodity form; seeing Benjamin himself as a toy talking about toys beyond grave.

[@DarkAngelEU]

Very postmodern, but I love it! Wish more great thinkers were in muppet form to explain their big ideas to the masses, especially the evil-looking ones like Sartre, Nieztsche and Bréton :D
