I love this movie. And every year I talk about what a great primer it is for effective fundraising. So this year I wrote about it!
"The Muppet Christmas Carol" is actually a masterclass in effective fundraising tactics. Read this article and use it as an excuse to stream a classic for inspiration for your year-end campaign.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

A lot of interesting data out from @pollara.bsky.social in their annual Trust in Media Report. But I suspect this one is the headline-maker politically: Despite a multi-year campaign against the CBC by Conservatives, the public broadcaster remains the most trusted news desk by Canadians.
