  • This. Not only is JKR a sorry excuse for a human being, she didn't even write good stories. Ursula K LeGuin wasn't keen on them either:

    "I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the 'incredible originality' of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a 'school novel,' good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited."

  • Trump is just a man. Human being, meat and bone. He's a symptom of the disease that has been present and growing in the USA for a long time. I think it's a dangerous oversimplification to believe the US will be healthy once he's gone.

  • Yes, and it's a good thing. The Paradox of Tolerance. If we want a world where people are free to choose and believe and live unique and different lives, we cannot stand by and do nothing while intolerant assholes live their lives.

  • We don't teach logic and critical thinking in primary school. The average Canadian doesn't recognize when they're reading, seeing or hearing false information. And these days, that misinformation is being consumed faster than ever.
