![]() ![]() You seem to be on some moral high ground so I'll ask you.what is wrong with wanting biological women to have safe spaces if they feel they need them? No one (specifically Rowling) is saying that trans people shouldn't have the same assurance of safety, so why is that opinion so criticized? Originally posted by Mollerz:Yeah but we can let her know she's trash, and you can't buy your way out of yourself when you are garbage. ![]() ![]() My post does not mention any defense for JK Rowling, it's just telling those who read the discussion that intellectual property is a thing so I don't know why I would buy it human decency aside. Let aside that there isn't anything even compelling to me in this game to begin with. I don't know why you want to defend her so badly to create this post to say hey, let's buy her stuff. I do and I frankly don't want to spiral this conversation more by repeating it. Do you even know what the main story is said to be about? She hired on specifically people who fit her ideological view to make and develop this game. Not buying her things, means she doesn't get your money. The only thing she has ties to these days is twitter. So if you boycott any future Harry Potter games, tv shows or whatever, you will be missing out on some good content even though JK Rowling most likely won't have any involvement. ![]() Originally posted by Keagan:It's simple, she owns the Harry Potter IP which means she will always get royalties from it no matter what's being made with the IP. ![]()

![]() ![]() Full name Lucien Minor, Lucy's the ballast to this book, a self-pitying teen with plenty to feel sorry about. Now, in Undermajordomo Minor, a folk tale of sorts, that black comedy lingers, but it's leavened with something almost more shocking than that unsheathed salami: genuine earnestness.įor this, perhaps, we have Lucy to thank. In his first two books - a seedy barroom tale, and a deadpan Western - DeWitt took delight in the dark heart of humanity, mining despair and deviance for the puckish humor he never failed to find glimmering inside. If you haven't yet cracked one of his books, suffice to say the scene I'm referring to boasts violence, sloppy nudity, acts of lewdness - and one piece of cylindrical lunchmeat, alarmingly misused. ![]() That is, at least, as far as NPR's family-friendly website is concerned. If you've opened a novel by Patrick DeWitt before, it ought to come as no surprise to find that a pivotal scene in his new one hinges on acts unprintable. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

There were some things I liked about the story though, like Jess’s close relationship with her grand parents and how they also provided support for her daughter. I also felt the “romance” was seriously lacking here and didn’t feel that there was any real chemistry between them. ![]() As a scientist, It is exciting to think that such a thing can be possible and wonder about the implications of that however, this one started a bit slow for me with too much banter between the protagonist and her bestfriend and then I couldn’t connect with both protagonists no matter how much I tried.

The film's strengths lie first and foremost in the incredible acting performance of Oliver Masucci as Joseph Bartok. Starring Oliver Masucci and Albrecht Schuch, the film delves into the poignant story of Joseph Bartok, a former Viennese notary who recalls the traumas of war, from his arrest by the Gestapo to his time spent in isolation, while clinging to a chess book found in his cell as a lifeline to overcome his psychological suffering.
