So the twitterverse is moronically turning on JK Rowling after she finally made a tweet that pissed them off. After her years of SJW pandering and idiotic missteps and offensive bullshit steeped in far-left nonsense, she tweeted support for Maya Forstater, a woman who lost her job and faced a government inquisition because she stated that biological sex cannot be changed. Yesterday a UK judge ruled in her case that her political view- that biological sex is decided by genetics- is "absolutist" and "The approach is not worthy of respect in a democratic society."
Its a society in which a judge can rule that your free speech doesn't exist because your scientifically accurate opinion is "not worthy", and a crowd of SJWs will attempt to lynch anyone who defends your free speech rights even if they're the most far-left cuntbag to begin with
So now JK Rowling is getting labeling a terf and has the goon squad after her

"All these people whos opinion on science I respect have a different opinion on this part of science than I do. Clearly that means theyre all wrong!"

I love her lack of self awareness.

Also the twitterverse hasnt liked JK Rowling for a while. Shes been more humored than accepted and shes been made fun of a lot for constantly trying to retcon her books.

a mass stabbing occurred at a rabbi’s home where a bloodthirsty anti-semitic racist domestic terrorist criminal stabbed five people with a machete as they celebrated Hanukkah in an Orthodox Jewish community near NYC.

a suspect has been arrested (see links) but that didn’t stop #fakenews sources from bizarre speculation:

Rocket attack hits near US Embassy in Baghdad’s Green Zone

Two rockets landed near the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, on Monday as tensions with Iran continue to mount.

Coalition forces in Iraq said in a statement early Tuesday morning it would not tolerate attacks on its forces or facilitates, and that it would defend itself.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iran and its extensive network of Shiite militias and proxies are often the target of blame.




Gotta just love the middle east. :/

BAGHDAD, Jan 6 (Reuters) - The United States-led military coalition against Islamic State said on Monday that it was pulling out of Iraq and would be repositioning forces over the next few days and weeks, a letter seen by Reuters showed.

"Sir, in deference to the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister, CJTF-OIR will be repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement," read a letter from United States Marine Corps Brigadier General William H. Seely III, the commanding general of Task Force Iraq.

The authenticity of the letter, which was addressed to the Iraqi defence ministry's Combined Joint Operations Baghdad, was confirmed to Reuters independently by an Iraqi military source.

"We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure," it said.

seems like the best times pullout of all our engagements for sure.

controversy over strikes in Iraq, pending need for forces elsewhere in preparation rather than combat capacity, etc.

And let's be honest, if Iraq can't hold off an ISIS resurgence after this many years of training and funding for their military the whole region is fucked. we need to give them a chance to establish bereft of our help. all birds must leave the nest.

I love that she retroactively said that some of her characters were gay after having none in her school for so long. No black wizards either lol. I wonder where she grew up. Even the poorest people were hookey cabbage people.

She is a very lucky person, being such a famous writer while being such a poor writer.
