I have some complicated thoughts on Nilay Patel's interview with the CEO of Hasbro.

The simplest of those is that I'm glad that, despite Patel having previously used his podcast to make transphobic jokes, he used the opportunity to ask why Hasbro was OK financing Rowling's transphobia.

"Separate the art from the artist" is a terrible fucking answer, though, and I wish Nilay had pressed on that.
