✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

SMART COOKIES will be a new recurring segment on Season 46 of SESAME STREET (the one premiering on HBO in January).

The segments star Cookie Monster as the rookie agent of a team of crime-fighting cookies called "Smart Cookies." His teammates include leader Chipowski, tech-guy Figby and clue-giver Miss Fortune. In each segment, Cookie Monster learns about self-control and regulation as the team thwarts the dastardly attacks of a villain known simply as "The Crumb."

Wow copaganda and orientalism in my child's Sesame Street? It's more likely than you think

The Smart Cookies drive around in a tactical vehicle that I always imagined as a cross between a cookie jar and the A-Team van. Modeling by Brad Applebaum, surfacing by Stephanie Goldstein and Tim Crowson based on my design. Will there be a toy? (I hope there's a toy) Also fun incorporating kitchen details into the interior consoles.

Cool militarized cop van, hope there's a toy so-true

I love working with this Magnetic team and so much talent and ingenuity went into developing the look for this show. Here's a rundown of those involved:

I hate the slow enshitification of Cookie Monster, objectively the best character on Seasame Street. Kids aren't supposed to emulate CM, he isn't supposed to learn self-control and restraint and healthy eating habits! He's a Cookie. Monster! His uncontrollable list for baked treats is meant to be funny and relatable to kids, to teach you that just because something is sweet and endorsed by a friendly face, doesn't mean it's good for you.

But of course the purpose of all media since the 80s is to sell you things now. No critical thought, just obey and buy. Obey, and buy.

If Cookie Monster does not go "MMMMMM COOKIE!" and eat the cookie cops can you even call him cookie monster at that point?
