As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

any analysis of JK Rowling's radicalisation which doesn't explicitly discuss the independence referendum and her personal hatred of Nicola Sturgeon is incomplete

I am also shocked by the lack of coverage of this fire. It’s so far only affecting the Union Street buildings, but one of those has partially collapsed, from what I can tell backwards into the station. And it’s not yet contained. This is major and more than halfway down BBC’s homepage.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

is it safe to assume the reason Mandelson was made ambassador to the US was out of a hope he could bond with Trump over their shared interests (both having claimed to be best friends with Jeffrey Epstein)

Something I've noticed becoming more prevalent in anti-gaelic comments is the "oh but the Gaels were colonisers and wiped out the Picts. Thus Gaelic bad" argument. As if they wouldn't be saying that promoting the Pictish language is a sinister SNP plot, if it still existed today.

These people have to account for the deep hatred and revulsion they feel when watching others act out of sincerity, courage and compassion. It threatens and bewilders them, so they must explain it away as something they recognise and understand: moral vapidity and self-absorption

Part of the power of a denialist official narrative is in making you feel like you're going mad, a broken record, as you repeatedly insist on blatant truth and basic morality. There is an ongoing genocide, including the large-scale massacre of children, aided by our government and country.
