Good to see that satire which after all never changed anything is so powerful that oh god will this tedium never fucking end?

Please please please please please shut up about this. Please. The debate such as it exists is so removed from the actual business of making the fucking stuff it's as if something else is being discussed.

And it's not just that dissecting the frog will kill it (and all that) but this is dissecting a frog and declaring it a toad.

satire, of course, is legit, white collar even; piss-taking isn't somehow - it's a semantic (and in my view essentially bogus) distinction that reveals more than it explains

Also: you will read that comedy is about surprise: it is about trust. You take the surprises from someone you trust.
