LOVE IS THE WHOLE POINT. OF IT ALL
the terror (2018) requires a rewatch not only bc it is so good it will settle in the core of your brain and grow and spread there like a fungus until you die but also bc it is a show about a hundred something bearded victorian white men on a ship in the same clothes and by the time you start figuring out what name is attached to which guy half of them are already dead
if you're just joining us, george takei is having to educate jk rowling on holocaust denial
This is of no surprise if you know JKR has been hanging around with literal Nazis for years, while George Takei is a gay man who spent some of his childhood in an American internment camp.
I'm glad to see more of the disguise slip from JKR, but can only hope more people listen to George than to her.
[Edited to expand on this because a lot of people in the notes seem not to realise:] she is not being ignorant. She is not a benighted fool who didn't take her own advice and check the sources. THIS IS DELIBERATE.
This is a Nazi talking point. This is a technique for conversion and indoctrination designed to shame YOU into not checking your sources. After all, a famous person in a position of authority (whether we like that or not) is shaming the very idea that Nazis persecuted trans people, or that trans people have a history that goes back more than a few decades.
If you haven't watched Shaun's JK Rowling's New Friends and think talk of her hanging around with Nazis is hyperbole, this video is for you:
She is in deep. She is literally friends with known Nazis. She will have been told that the people saying Nazis burned books have unreliable sources. That is why she's saying this.
You'll note that George doesn't @ her. Apart from the fact that literally starting beef with her is likely not something he needs, he knows she is a lost cause. She is primed to dismiss the actual sources. He is sharing the true information, with sources, because her statements mean that other people will now be wondering about this and he's offering those people an alternative famous person authority AS WELL AS the facts.

Get his ass
the only worthwhile experience ai has given me lately was a few weeks back when me and my friend were dicking around with snapchats ai chatbot thing and we tried to get it to write stupid vulgar things but it’s so heavily moderated that it seriously can’t say Anything Negative About Any Person on this Earth, a flaw which we then used to our advantage in order to get it to write raps about celebrities getting into Objectively Embarrassing and Ridiculous situations to see how it could possibly frame it as like a Positive thing. the funniest thing to come from this was us prompting it to write a rap about Drake getting into a mining accident that made him fall down a hole and start farting out of fear from being trapped in a hole in an abandoned mine, which made the ai pen the bar “Drake lets out a fart, like a superhero’s cape”
just for the record it was perfectly fine with writing a rap about lin manuel miranda getting abandoned on an oil rig and had done so earlier but only took issue when fnaf freddy came into the mix
you can’t make this shit up
i told it to write about ed sheeran getting in a bike accident where he scrapes his knee like just getting a minor injury on a patch of grass and the ai literally invented a Magical Bandaid Kingdom that ed sheeran apparently lives by so that ed sheeran will never have to know pain
you ever feel like you were born with something rotten inside you and if people get close enough they’re gonna find out
Weighing in at up to 700 pounds, the elk stands as one of the biggest deer species on earth. But don’t think that just because an elk is large that it’s slow. A mature bull can run as fast as 40 miles per hour – they’ve even been able to outrun horses in short races.
people used to hunt these things on foot with a hand held spear. Just you and your stick in a fight to the death with…. that

The European mind cannot comprehend what it was like to be a person who'd only had Hershey bullshit chocolate my entire life and then have European chocolate for the very first time and it made me realize why people were acting like that in the Willy Wonka movies
We add butyric acid to it for Christ's sake. We ADD IT IN. Because it gives it a bit more shelf life. Even though it's, you know, what makes things smell and taste rancid, including puke. Fucking ruins it.
A friend got me a huge box of Czech dark chocolate and I ate so much of it so quickly that I went to the doctor with heart palpitations from all the theobromine.
The difference is immense.
It's worth noting by the way that the British doctor, after we figured out the likely cause, gave me a long, level stare, then shrugged and said "Hershey's is a bit shit, isn't it?"
