Iâm not sure if youâd find this any more amusing, though it aired on Comedy Central and at least tried to be funny.

I went to a practice round for the PGA Championship one year, back when Tiger Woods was at his peak. It was pure insanity, really just because of Tiger Woods. We ended up finally just going to a later hole, parking ourselves early, and waiting for Tiger to play through. Was it exciting? No. It was mostly boring. At the time, though, it seemed worth it for a chance to see Tiger Woods hit a golf ball, even though it was just a practice round.

I think the nadir must be televised poker. I canât think of another game where no matter what the odds, how big a win or loss is at risk, how much drama there might be in theory, good players will always look bored out of their minds. Iâve seen ads for it comparing it to the excitement of football or bull fighting â literally anything other than what they are actually showing, which is indifferent people looking at cards.
But if you play really well, itâs over faster!

IâŚunironically love watching poker on tv. It was boring until they came up with the idea of putting tiny cameras in the table so you could see what everyoneâs hole cards are.

For someone who claims to be such an advocate for women; itâs strange how all of her books have men as the lead characters.

She claims to have suffragists as her heroines, but the TERs actions point towards their opposition.

âYouâve seen nothing yet,â tweeted Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on Sunday. She was responding to another X user who had told her, âYour downfall is so sad,â a reaction to her continued attacks on transgenderpeople. Rowling promised that worse was in store. âWait til I hit rock bottom. Itâs going to be spectacular,â she wrote.
This prediction, and much of what Rowling has said of late, are altogether in keeping with what denizens of X (formerly Twitter) refer to as âMeltdown May,â a month-long season when, for whatever reason, online
â
She didnât stop there, however. While sparring with an X user whose bio indicates that they are 17 years old, Rowling spun out a bizarre hypothetical about whether she would âget to be black if I like Motown and fancy myself in cornrows.â The parallel drew widespread allegations of racism, with Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times journalist behind the Pulitzer-winning 1619 Project , warning: âStop using Black people as your comparison group because it almost always reveals more about you than you think it does.â

Rowlingâs manic posting and deranged rhetoric, her toxic social feed (a veritable whoâs who of âgender criticalâ types), her newfound proximity to dangerous extremists (Chaya Raichik, who runs the transphobic hate account Libs of TikTok, has lately started tagging and replying to her), her sharing of material from dubious groups such as the Gay Menâs Network (which frames âgender identity ideologyâ as a type of âhomophobiaâ) and her inability to stop denouncing people like Clark as if they are misogynists and predators all point to an obsession that has only grown stronger over time. What was once a trickle of worrying hints is now a torrent of abuse. seem more inclined to self-destructive behavior. Yet for Rowling this is just the next stage of a mounting extremism that has come to overshadow her groundbreaking writing career.

Yeah, she used to be a successful author.
Now sheâs just another shitty rich right-winger screeching hate on Twitter.

Umm, wow, unintentional self-awareness, maybe? I would have expected an author, of all things, to be better with using language. Has anybody checked her for brainworms?
