It really is quite amazing to see the RBA just go with prices are going up for reasons outside our control, adding more pain with an interest rate rise won't help and might crash the economy, but we asked the Peter Costello body pillow we keep around for advice and it said ok

These people will never shut the fuck up and make something worthwhile with their stupid slop machines but they will endlessly whine and whine and whine and whine about not getting credit for being able to pull the arm on a slot machine. Simply not enough scorn heaped upon them yet.

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

There was a post going around the other day that the Muppets never broke the fourth wall on being puppets, and I disagree. It happened relatively often. They were just such incredible characters, so incredibly performed, that you just didn't care.

The obsessive focus by political media on coalition policy deliberations … maybe talk about something that has a real world impact? This constant propping of a two-party formula just because it suits your notion of horse race politics is beyond dull. Think. Talk issues not numbers. Do better.

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.
