Always enjoy it when Guardiola asks what crowd there is in the Etihad to make more noise and there's a half decibel response.

Chilean commie Karol Cariola.

Finished the second series of Vigil, the usual solid and enjoyable BBC fare. This one had Romola Garai in it though so it was better than the first one. Started watching Boys from the Blackstuff as well. Haven't seen it since I was a kid. Might do an Alan Bleasdale binge, he never missed. Still doing Hill Street Blues. Still brilliant. Nearly at the end The Office series 7, still good so far. Series 3 of It's Always Sunny is excellent too, as widely reported, I believe.

On this occasion I wasn't talking specifically about her casual anti-semitism, I was talking about her transphobia. The Holocaust is recognised as an umbrella term for a number of groups targeted and murdered by the Nazis. https://theconversation.com/historians-are-learning-more-about-how-the-nazis-targeted-trans-people-205622 By denying that they were targeted during the Holocaust, Rowling is engaging in Holocaust denial. https://www.themarysue.com/j-k-rowling-appears-to-sic-lawyers-on-queer-critic/

Phoenix is widely known to be one of the absolute nicest people in the industry and the dealings we've had with her on the site I work for have backed that up.

It's not really unclear, though. She tweeted a denial that trans people were targeted by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Are you looking for a specific conversation about the Holocaust or are you talking about her stance in general?

'JK Rowling is a Holocaust' has been trending for about 2 days now. She's out-Streisaned Streisand.

Every one of her matches up to this year's Mania were pointless. She didn't face a single person in that time who even felt remotely a threat to taking the title from her because they didn't make the effort to make any of them a credible threat. Raquel Rodriguez has disappeared. Zoey Starks is in a comedy tag team. Zelina Vega is a valet. Nia Jax has disappeared. That's just off the top of my head. A procession of 'oh we need someone to wrestle Rhea, who hasn't lost to her yet?'

Something to do with the goblins in her books resembling offensive Jewish caricatures.

There's plenty of evidence that Rowling is an anti-semite from her books (I believe) and now this. She should be thankful that she's the world's most famous terf as it's covered up her other prejudices.

Rhea's title reign has been shite, through no fault of her own. She's been great despite it. A year of Matches with no feuds or decent angles. Appallingly booked. There's an argument to be had that she didn't need the title because all her great stuff has been Judgement Day related.

They're gonna use this to turn Liv Morgan heel, aren't they. Great.
