a screenshot of a twitter exchange consisting of a tweet, quote retweet, and a proposed community note. the original tweet by elfie @elfbatross reads: the only famous 'nice guy' i have any faith in is kermit the frog. the quote retweet by neil gibbons @neilgibbons reads: In muppets christmas carol he is married to a pig but has a son who is 100% frog which you have to question. the proposed community note, marked as only visible to contributors, reads: Kermit is an actor, in A Christmas Carol Kermit is playing the role of Bob Cratchit. Tiny Tim is the son of Bob Cratchit not Kermit. Tiny Tim [is] played by actor Robin the Frog, Kermit's nephew. the source for the note is a link to the wikipedia page for the muppet christmas carol. below the community note, a dialog box asks "Is this proposed note helpful? Rate."ALT

some time last year in a daze i signed up to be a community notes contributor on twitter, and i have not used this ability once in any meaningful sense, but i do appreciate that it sometimes provides me with exclusive advance previews of muppet discourse
