As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

Heard a BBC vox pop (truly the bottom feeding of broadcast journalism) complain that the RNLI might not be able to get to ‘genuine people’ because they were busy rescuing from small boats. ‘GENUINE PEOPLE’. Imagine being that level of soulless d**k.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

We need two Arday inquiries: 1) Into racist (and misogynistic) bullying by UK press and social media accounts (see also Diane Abbott); and 2) into the duty of care that HE has for its minority staff - a duty of care that in my repeated experience is reserved primarily for white male sex offenders.

A fifth heatwave. People at risk across the country. But the new Government is silent. Time to tax fossil fuel companies to fund firefighting helicopters. And to race to lower carbon energy and permanently cheaper bills.

Green leader Zack Polanski accuses government of 'gross negligence' over climate crisis
With parts of Britain set to experience their fifth heatwave of the summer this week, Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has accused the government of not recognising the severity of the crisis.

In a statement, he said:

We are now facing the fifth heatwave in months following the recent deaths of 3,000 people in our country from extreme weather conditions.

This is the greatest crisis this country has faced since the second world war and to complacently dismiss the demands for immediate action by saying everything is under control is gross negligence, blatantly untrue and misses the severity of the crisis.

Only days after dedicated public servants talked about the need for urgent action, backed up by indisputable science, to secure our food supplies and the health of the most vulnerable, the Labour government says it’s all in hand, and supply chains are resilient.

At a press conference last week, Polanski said the government should be responding with emergency measures now.

Have to note particular irritation that the French title of Atwood's Penelopiad is 'The Odyssey of Penelope', thus spectacularly missing the point.

I don't actually care if she's grateful to him or if she thinks the entire film should be publicly burned. My point is that she can hold whatever damn opinion she likes about a work in her field.

the repeated "She should be grateful" is such a tell. For what? He didn't license her translation. It isn't called "Emily Wilson's Odyssey". He made a film in the manner of his choosing; in what way does she owe him gratitude, still less free PR?
