look, gaiman is a despicable human being but there’s one thing he was pretty good at, and it knowing which ideas were worth stealing. it’s just that he wasn’t very good at actually doing something with them after that. that man literally cannot fathom that not every story is for him to tell.

american gods had all the makings of an amazing series. all neil gaiman had to do was not be involved in any way whatsoever and let someone else take full creative control including rewriting all of it while keeping the basic idea which gaiman mostly just copied from pratchet’s small gods anyway.

i was pretty pumped for east of eden series, but once i realized its only 7 eps (which probably means losing ~10-20% of the story) i decided that, if i am going to watch something that just makes me mad about wasted potential, i am going to rewatch american gods instead. at least they had an excuse.

the biggest problem with a phillips curve / NAIRU theory of inflation is that upper middle class americans (the ones that cause 90% of inflation) dont buy stuff with wages, they buy stuff with asset revaluation. and the more assets revalue, the higher the more stuff they want to buy

it’s gonna be real funny watching tech people learn in real time just how good contractors and tradespeople are at separating you from your money when you dont want to, or dont know how to, do things in the real physical world. who do you think pays for all those fishing boats and 80k pickup trucks?

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state

miamiherald.com

Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state

“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.

I'd probably say the common thread is that they start with the goal of turning a lot of money into supposedly zero leftover and then they fabricate numbers to get there, but I would also agree that the thing that makes them least believable is the lack of self-awareness

tax bill also pretty inflated. Counts taxes as withheld but not the additional deductions and resulting refund. vacations counted twice under vacation/staycation and w/e getaways. budget builds-in 60-70k of of savings. 30k for 401k, 16k for 529, ~20k on mtg principal. $4k in charity and cry poor???

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

a slightly more economisty way of saying it is that, in the short-run, quantity supplied is fixed and price depends on demand, but how long the period known as “the short run” is depends on the capex cycle for the tooling.

the way i read this is that they are bolstering equity in anticipation of hitting the bond markets for a big number so they can price tight and avoid even a whiff of ratings-watch or change in outlook

there really ought to be a more comprehensive guide of age appropriateness and *what* makes them that bc i read some 7-12 books that were fine minus some vocab when she was almost 4 but then you get some where content really should be 11+ or where sentence structure is just way too complex for kids.

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

yiiiiikes thanks for the warning. glad we didn’t even have that planned. on deck is a return to Narnia for books 3-4 (*sigh* 🤷🏻‍♀️) and then possibly amazing maurice and after that i might do the girl who drank the moon but still very tbd

i think the only reason it works is that she is too young to feel the weight of it all because, beneath all the humor, it is actually… a lot. Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful, but after all it is the story of a young girl processing the death of her grandmother by piecing together who she was

two more weeks, about halfway through. So, I was familiar with the rest of discworld and generally i love it. It’s my kind of satire, and it’s witty and funny, but Tiffany Aching is unexpectedly a gorgeous book but yikes it is absolutely not age appropriate for a 5 year-old

110

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

i know it’s technically YA but we are about a quarter of the way through The Wee Free Men and, while it does require a lot of stops for new vocab/concepts and to make sure we are keeping track of the bigger picture, it has gone surprisingly well for what is admittedly a harebrained choice for a 5yo

by far the most effective tool for most people new to this is to bill hours and file expense reports like you would anywhere else and pay yourself through payroll as a fixed schedule of production. if you don’t have the discipline, then invest in a bookkeeper or fractional CFO until you do (or grow)

010

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

you can gamify a lot of this with “kit” (either with tech tools like CRMs or ticketing / PM systems, or even just fancy stationary) to give yourself a push until the habits develop but eventually you do have to spend time managing yourself that instinctually you think is time you should be billing

110

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

the trick to running your own business is to realize whatever your business function is, its is ancillary to your economic function as a manager. it seems and feels ridiculous to most people, but it means BoD meetings of one, planning, budgeting, setting targets, weekly reviews of time-use / billing

i made it through two before i banished the whole series by explaining those types of books are for her to practice reading once she is able to read them on her own. i have very very little patience for these types of books (which is weird considering how much super formulaic slop TV i’ve watched)

ANYWAYS. come back in three weeks or three months for more indefensibly long and rambling takes about the perks and pitfalls of ignoring the age range recommendations when choosing books for a slightly sheltered 5 year old. Next in the queue: Kiki’s Delivery Service (she picked it, not me. i swear)

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

like, how cool would it be if there was a discworld type of universe, but for kids? (yes i know about the tiffany books and maurice) with like the sub series segmented by age range? something covering the range of illustrated novels, read-aloud novels, and books kids kids of various ages could read?

100

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

all to try to lay the foundation that books are more than a bunch of words and stories more than a series of events, and to really fill-in the gaps by placing characters into context and thinking about what they feel and think. all with the intention of expanding characters/settings beyond the page

100

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

i’m trying to work on the concept of the built world and continuity of characters, especially non-protagonists, between books. The idea is to encourage the mental expansion of the series’ universe beyond what is written, to think of books as a slice of the universe and not as fully self-contained

100

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

i’ve been looking for a series of novels i can read to a 5yo girl that doesn’t rely on the meta for the subtext (the genre as a whole is not good at limiting the prereqs or scope of reference) and is not centered around either war or anything medieval in nature. It feels almost impossible to find

200

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

it’s refreshing to read something in the fantasy/fairy space that is original (not recycled concepts from literary or genre classics, and no meta) and is also not slopish like those 100 book-long series like the rainbow fairies, which are tedious as read-aloud books.

210

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

actually the book thread is here, sorry about that. but i am glad i linked in The Night Fairy because it’s a perfect little fantasy novella. It has characters, language and concepts that will challenge a young child and yet you can still enjoy it if you don’t get them all bsky.app/profile/grod...

Morally Bankrupt @groditi.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

reading update: been a bit of a slog lately. we re-read the lion the with and the wardrobe, which i honestly can’t stand (and not because of the jesus stuff). Almost done with book 1 of The Sisters Grimm which I would really recommend for older kids but it’s too much fantasy meta for a (almost) 5yo
