She’s probably safe. Those of us with neither a billion dollars nor 14 million twitter followers, on the other hand, should worry.
Yeah, but the title is great…
Title's obvious.

And that makes it less great?

See. I took it another step by adding a second hyphen. The journo just had it as Trans-Kaban. Trans is obvious, and Laban is nonsense. By putting in the second hyphen, now it’s Trans (obvious) - Ka (destiny) - Ban (obvious). That’s far more complicated than it looks at first glance. Punctuation can make or break puns and word-play…

Yes. That's how it works. As in music, as in writing.

It was neither to me but I’ve not read the books nor seen the movies.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

Yeah, but the title is great… and seriously? What is the effect of this? If I make a derogatory post now that they deem violates the law, am I at risk of arrest when we do our British Isles trip in 2025?

They're highly unlikely to arrest American tourists. Just make sure you wear hideously garish sneakers, say everything at the top of your voice and spend lots of money, tipping like an asshole. Don't forget to tell them how much you love this part of England, and ask where you can buy a kilt. The Scots will freaking love you.

British PM supports J K Rowling’s stand on Scotland’s hate law:
The prime minister has said people should not be criminalised "for stating simple facts on biology" in response to JK Rowling's criticism of Scotland's new hate crime law.

Apparently she’s planning on pushing the issue.
I find it interesting that she made the distinction that if a “woman” is arrested, she will say the same thing and force their hands…

Douglas Murray weighs in with support of Rowling:
Link to video -
Murray and Rowling are two peas in a pod in the sense that both enjoy a fight against a self-righteous mob. A rare quality in humans. Most of us are strongly wired to get along with the mob. Which has its roots in evolution, when getting along with the mob was of existential importance to any individual.
Education is extremely important.
