My guess, based on the episode titles from Wikipedia, is the last 4 episodes are in Ireland. “The Gang Goes to Ireland”, “The Gang’s Still in Ireland”, “Dee Sings in a Bog”, and “The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain.”

I’d swear that’s Mac in the Q Anon shaman outfit, but Dennis can be surprisingly susceptible to bullshit sometimes. Or he could be working some angle.

Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast is putting out Strixhaven, a Magic the Gathering and D&D setting for people who like wizard schools but would like to stop giving JKR money.

If this article had to exist (it did not), this would have been a nice corrective to include.

It really feels like marketing push puff stuff. I could totally be wrong--maybe Harry Potter clicks are just incredibly fat and juicy. I just can’t fathom why there’s so fuckin’ much of it.

Well, not the cast cameos,  but otherwise,  yeah. 

“Including cool Harry Potter Lego sets....but don’t you even THINK about putting the girl Lego hair piece on the boy Lego figures, you disgusting aberration!”

(Don’t buy em on Amazon!)

I’d like to add my voice to those criticising the presence of this article extended advert for products based the writing of a high profile transphobe. This is (at least) in poor taste and poor judgement.

Children’s librarian here who grew up on Redwall: it’s weirdly hard to get kids into Redwall! Even kids who love those Warrior Cats books for some reason just don’t get into it. Once in a blue moon I get a kid to read one and from then they’re hooked, but it’s a tough sell compared to books of similar reading level…

It’s obscenely irresponsible for writers who claim to give a shit about trans people to advertise objects which will line the pockets of a loud, proud transphobe.

Yeah, I’ve been tolerating the other articles because the franchise is still a cultural touchstone that’s worth talking about. (Though it’s weird that the AV Club seems to be single-handedly trying to make the 20th anniversary of the movies A Thing—other outlets are barely talking about it, if it all.) But this...this…

AV Club: J.K. Rowling is a transphobic bigot who tainted her legacy and the entire Harry Potter franchise with hate.

Uh... Yikes, y’all. Don’t encourage people supporting Rowling. Any purchase from this list will directly enrich a bigot.

Yeah there’s some big time mixed messaging going on here.

Eh, I’m waiting for my kid’s enthusiasm for it to peter out. Meanwhile, trying my damnedest to get her into Le Guin, Jacques (Redwall), and other assorted books. Less for Rowling’s shittiness, more because there’s just plain BETTER shit out there.

Really cool of the AV Club to pretend to support trans people against JKR’s vile bigotry, but then turn around and write an article detailing all the fun ways you can give more money to that woman who despises our existence. Except by “cool” I mean, “disgusting, yet unsurprising”

Is there anybody who refuses to say whether they are vaccinated who either is already vaccinated or doesn’t have a political incentive to not reveal it (Like some of these Right-Wing news people)?

Because it feels like everyone else says: “Yeah, I’m vaccinated.” And then moves on with their life.

Unless your next words are proving that you got the vaccine, no one cares anti-vaxxer.
