Totality over Stonehenge

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

This skateboard trick may never be eclipsed.

Danny León, a Spanish Olympic skateboarder, set up this shot and landed it during today's eclipse in Spain.

Perfect planning!

Boy math is calling women "bad drivers" when in fact men are responsible for 73% of car accidents..
Boy math is calling women
"emotional" when men are responsible for 90% of violent crimes..
Boy math is calling women
"dependent" even though women carry out about three times more unpaid care and domestic work than men around the world..
Boy math is calling women as being "overly sensitive" even though women score higher in cognitive empathy in 57 countries.

Strong growth numbers for the first half of the year. This was not inevitable.

It is because of the resilience of the British economy and the responsible action taken since the election to deliver stability, investment and reform.

Lots done, more to do.

Rob Brydon just told the story of Mick Jagger shouting “Don’t throw those bloody spears at me!” from a staircase at a Christmas party. How?

He said Jagger was 73, thin as anything, but had this wild energy pouring off him like the light in Cocoon. Just sat there chatting like a normal person until the exit.

Brydon’s halfway out the door when he hears “Rob, Rob!” and looks up to find Mick on the landing doing full Michael Caine from Zulu. Completely deadpan.

He was so confused he genuinely thought the man was having a stroke for a second. Then the penny dropped and he fired back with another Caine line. Absolute chaos.

His dog’s name is Pepper…

And right now Pepper is cheerfully following an entire family of skunks across the yard while dad is losing his mind in the background.

You can hear pure panic in his voice as he keeps yelling “come here” and "NO PEPPER", but Pepper has already made her choice.

Some dogs just collect the most ironic stories.

Miriam Margolyes casually revealing her Dover rental was a £30 million cocaine drop for a Liverpool gang… and people online still accused her of being in on it.

She rents out the nearest house to France, £425 a week, sleeps six, very cleaner.” Police call one day: Are you aware it’s been used as a drug drop?

Helicopter on the flat roof, drugs in the bay, massive haul. She’s just sitting there like “I take the money, I don’t know the people.

Daniel Radcliffe is properly dying next to her the whole time. The Daily Mail bit and the online comments accusing her of being part of the gang finished him off.

Hoy, mucho más de un mes después de los terremotos, fue rescatado de escombros en Catia la Mar el gato Félix.

Desnutrido y en terrible estado de salud, pero vivo.

Su dueña pudo reencontrarse con él hoy.
