That patronizing “Pretending you won’t watch is adorable” quote from JK Rowling is from a parody account, people. Not sure what the “joke” is supposed to be, given that she verifiably says horrific things all the time, but all the same, let’s try not to be gullible.

Culture Cave Q @CultureCave_
J.K. Rowling when asked about people refusing to watch the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series because of her:
"Pretending you won't watch is adorable."

NEW BLOG POST! Some thoughts on Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, the historical context of the Bronze Age Collapse, the Sea Peoples, and the legends of the Trojan War, and whether Nolan's movie is "historically accurate" or not, and what that even means.

Did Odysseus Cause the Bronze Age Collapse?
We were all set for The Odyssey to be our summer discourse. Battle lines had been drawn, takes had been prepared. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 8th century BCE epic poem was…

Texas Republicans doing recruitment for us.
A post from the Comal County (TX) Republican Party:

Democratic Socialists of America

The DSA's mission is to replace capitalism with democratic socialism by shifting economic and political power from corporations and wealthy owners to workers and the public.

Is this what you want for America?

JK Rowling mocking a rape victim because she had PMOS and a deep voice while violating their confidentiality is beyond the pale. Rowling is a deeply evil person.

Embarrassing is the word. The defense looked totally lost playing it out of the back, and when we did get forward, indecision sent far too many passes straight into the defense

The USA’s B team mostly outplayed full-strength Turkey, lost 3-2 on a last-minute goal while playing with an injured defender, won the group anyway, and the fact that it feels like a disappointment shows how far the expectations have come

i think boarding school teenage masculinity is a part of masculinity but not of manhood. we have to get away from the concept of the opposite of "man" being "woman." the opposite of "man" is "boy"

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!
