Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions,
" she was "not aware" of the fan boycott
of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"

Sally Jenkins quoting a Caitlin Flanagan article about Bari Weiss is an unflushed toilet inside an unflushed toilet inside an unflushed toilet.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

It's even better that you were being a patronising bellend and warning people about something the entire world already knew about?

whole thing is even worse than the headline when you think about what 'play' means here

“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”"

Do Zionists still think protesting outside a synagogue is antisemitic?

Screenshot from Tali Goldscheft:

PROTEST today at 1 pm!!! 📢📢📢

At the same time as hostages are hopefully being finally released, Zohran Mamdani is speaking at CBE (Congregation Beth Elohim) in Park Slope.

Beyond outrageous.

A major protest by the Brooklyn Jewish community, including CBE congregants and former congregants, will be taking place.

IN BROOKLYN? Join us, rain or shine!!!

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

I keep thinking back, about how I had to see all of those folks on the SFWA discord strategizing openly about how to say nothing about Palestine.

I did eventually write again. I still don’t know how to navigate this scene.

I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...
