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.

I thought it was about half an hour too long, and a lot of the comedy landed with a thud. But yes good-natured and enjoyable goofy nonsense is a perfect description. I also found Nicholas Galitzine extremely charming.

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.

Not entirely true. In the very first episode, Kermit stares down the barrel of the camera and says, “think about it, folks” after a puppetry trick. There are also several episodes where they had non-muppet puppets as guests, and those were full of winking gags. They did it rarely but they did do it.

Apologies for the typo. Regardless of muppet content being relatively cheap-ish, I think the idea that it could be the *most* popular/profitable brand under the Disney umbrella is… frankly insane. But I admire the optimism. I’ll be thrilled if it merely becomes viable.

Paul Gartside @mindlessmunkey.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
I can’t tell if this is a bit. Would love to hear your reasoning. I adore the muppets, but more profitable than Star Ware, superheroes and princesses? I’m not sure that’s the world we live in.
