What a joy it is to read such eloquence from JKR!

ah the wee fishy with a tiktok account is concern trolling the gajillionaire Mother Dragon. "where did it all go wrong Joanne, help me help you"

'... dark story of radicalisation ... '

😁

Brilliant, just brilliant.

Notalwaysthismean · 08/03/2024 07:16

I fucking love that woman.

Calmdown14 · 08/03/2024 06:57

@Wenttomowameadow same. The Strike books are brilliant. I seem to be stuck in a loop of listening to them all from the beginning, trying something new, then returning to book one and off we go again!

Wenttomowameadow · 08/03/2024 06:39

Can I just say that the ickabog and the Christmas pig are as inspirational as HP. My ds has just named a toy pig he found in the mountain of stuffed animals we own 'DP'

The worst thing about JKR is that I'm living my life 'chasing the dragon' as it were to find a crime series that's as good as the Robin series. In that sense I urge her to stop tweeting and get on with the next one.

IlikeJK · 08/03/2024 06:28

I think she is amazing - how brave to stand at the front line taking the hits for all women. It didn't occur to me until I saw this thread to thank her by buying her works - what a great idea thank you.

Ah I love her. I especially love that there were so many Harry Potters at my kid’s school today for World Book Day. The love of J K Rowling and the world she created never wanes no matter how hard the people attempting to silence, misinterpret and discredit her try.

Same. Every time I see a small child dressed up as HP or any of the others I am thrilled.

I might need to buy myself another keyring.

Stealing this! Grin

WomanXXWorldsOriginsofMothersofAllNations · 08/03/2024 05:41

Or maybe he has deleted - I’m so confused by his many video messages and clapping and tantrums I just can’t keep up - JKR doesn’t seem to have that problem tho 🤗❤️

WomanXXWorldsOriginsofMothersofAllNations · 08/03/2024 05:25

Screen grab

WomanXXWorldsOriginsofMothersofAllNations · 08/03/2024 05:24

The deleted Twitter video is still available on nitter if you want to see the sea lion clapping ‘journalist’ 😂

“Our journalist” has become rather testy/petulant with his latest response to JKR.
Note the spelling mistake. Probably had a few vinos methinks?
He’s tweeted in reply to a GIF JKR replied with - at 12:35am -

“Of fuck off Joanne honestly. You are ruining your life and reputation and there’s no need for any of this”

Love Fred Sergeant’s response to him. I also suspect after the day the “journalist”had on X yesterday, he had had more than one. He’s a laughing stock and in true fashion got nasty when embarrassed publicly.

What a charmer!

And there it is….the sexist’s favourite slur. Didn’t take him long to get there, did it?😏

Sladuf · 08/03/2024 02:14

He used to love Jo though 😢🤣🤣

JKR is at it again…

I can't be arsed to screenshot it all, but Peter Jukes who runs Byline just had his phone stolen in the street. It appears he was looking at the above tweets when it happened. I'm sorry he had his phone nicked but in the thread he's sympathising with the poor lad because of all the 'pile ons' from the likes of JK and Elon Musk.
I had no idea Byline Times were such a bunch of clowns, no idea.

There’s that school of thought about all publicity being good publicity but I subscribe to the bad optics way of thinking. This whole affair has made Byline look ridiculous. Caolan effing and jeffing at JKR on X is not justifiable and he needs to learn a lot. I’d be recommending he lay low for a while or possibly trying to make him an offer of parting ways.
Seems too hot-headed to me or unable to control impulses after a few drinks.

Sladuf · 08/03/2024 01:57

NotBadConsidering · 08/03/2024 01:40

That’s a transcript of the video he did, I should clarify. He spoke those words.

I think he’s reposted the clip but it may be slightly edited from the now deleted tweet?
There’s a load of whiny crud accompanying it in his latest posting of the clip though along the lines of, “I used to love ya,” aimed at JKR.🙄

He's unravelling.
Now calling JKR a "putrid c..t"

I haven’t stumbled across this yet! That’s even worse than the comment I found from 12:35. Good grief he’s a manchild! Just like Neneh sang, “look at the state you’re in!”

EDIT: Found it now. In response to JKR making a joke about not taking up his offer of appearing on the show because she was afraid of facing UK’s answer to legendary Watergate reporter and Pulitzer Price winner Bob Woodward!
When others commented on his choice of words, he’s doubled down in a very churlish way. What a div!

Luckily, I managed a screen recording of it before it was deleted:

JK Rowling I’m going to make this super quick. We said Community Notes had become a dumpster fire because they have. There’s a huge amount of evidence that things like bots have taken over the system. And just because the note in this situation suited you, doesn’t mean that that’s not correct. And [clap] to be [clap] completely [clap] fucking [clap] honest, calling someone who is trans, a male, is not verifiable fact and not something that Community Note should support! It’s an opinion, and it’s your opinion, which by the way, you’re allowed to have! So having Community Note verify that is bullshit. And you know it as well.

I don’t really know what’s happened to you. I looked up to you even until recently and this seems like it’s a dark story of radicalisation of which I’ve even been down in the past but you have gone another level. You seem to have gone off the rails. So, take yourself back from the cliff edge, realise that calling someone a man who is clearly a woman, is not something Community Notes should support, and let’s all move on.

Crikey. He can't write for shit, can he.
