Sheepdog

There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. The rare breed who lives to confront the wolf, they are the sheepdog. Be a sheepdog

I miss these kind of clips. 🤣 Hoping for a new book launch every 6-9 months max.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

No matter who win the singles match tomorrow, I’m voting Rory for player of the year. He won on 3 of 4 best courses on Tour, with the Masters being the most memorable event of the year…alongside the Irish Open. Now, as promised, he’s delivered a road Ryder Cup win. Epic stuff.

[Jordan Schmaltz @J_Swish24]

Keegan Bradley must’ve forgot to watch Miracle before picking this USA bum squad. In the words of the late Herbert Brooks, you’re not looking for the best players, you’re looking for the right players Craig. Ryder Cup is about experience, guys who rise to the occasion aka Gamers and granite chins. I’d take Speith, Dustin Snow Johnson, Fat Pat and Koepka every day of the week and twice on Sundays over Henley, Griffin, Harris English and Sam Burns. Team golf? = momentum and JAM. USA lacking JAM and Swagger big time.

The Ryder Cup used to mean we were sending Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer out there with lung darts to kick your candy ass.

[Chris Brockman🎙️ @chrisbrockman]

Team USA should just concede the Ryder Cup now. send everyone home and don’t bother showing up tomorrow. this is an unmitigated disaster. abject failure across the board. see you in 2027. what a joke.

[Bobby Reagan @BarstoolReags]

There's no reason why we can't see every single shot at the Ryder Cup. What are we doing here

[Two Inches Short @TwoInchesShort]

My wife walked by the tv and asked why there isn’t an option to get 4 boxes for each Ryder Cup match like they do for red zone. She doesn’t even watch golf or football

Cancel culture would be if we dug up Jimmy Kimmel’s black face from years ago and then suspended his show.

This is consequence culture.

[Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec]

A contact who works at Disney tells me they only got a few calls about cancelling Disney+ / Hulu over Jimmy Kimmel but the vast majority of their customers don’t really seem to care

The Yakima County Democrats @washdems in Washington state appeared to celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, suggesting he had radicalized fascists and therefore deserved to be murdered. https://t.co/Hn9PrJuUmh

JB Pritzker: I never called them Nazis

Also JB Pritzker: OK, so maybe I called Trump Hitler and Republicans nazis on a dozen occasions…

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Travis Carroll, a police officer for Emerald Isle, NC, allegedly made a post online SMEARING Charlie Kirk after he was ass*ssinated.

"Charlie being openly racist... he ain't really winning in the empathy department."

Our tax dollars pay his salary.

Any comment @townemeraldisle?

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

“Be gay, do crime. Everyday acts of queer resistance and rebellion.” - hanging at @UncAvl

This is a symbol of lgbtq t*rrorism.

They’re open about it.

The lgbtq militia openly call for violence and recruit new members for their mission.

This is becoming a really big problem.

Hi @WakeForest, this your employee celebrating an ass*ssination?

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

BREAKING: Florida nurse who said she’s “cheering for the ass*ssination” and that Charlie “should have been tortured” has been FIRED

Good riddance!
