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.
What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it
