Yes, of course. JKR created, owns & tightly controls her IP. It’s hard won and high value. Royalties earn her an est. $50-100m per annum.

And boost JK Rowling’s anti-trans coffers? No no no.

What is a Groyper? A deep dive into the meme movement influencing online politics.

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet.

So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here:

Sexism in council? Tears, a resignation and Mayor Wayne Brown’s orgasm joke Claims female councillors silenced amid 'laddish' climate and crass humour.

I appreciate David Fisher's reporting on this - but the sub ed needs to be told there's no question mark needed in this headline.

Fisher gives us multiple clear cut eg's of how sexism & patriarchal culture actually works 🧵

I can understand cutting the staff, and archiving the whole site at the National Library, but not even spending the pittance involved to keep the registered domain name and redirect it to its new home? So it gets grabbed by domain squatters? What a mess.

Margaret Rossiter named a truth hidden in plain sight: the Matilda Effect—the systematic erasure of women’s achievements in science. Her three-volume Women Scientists in America proved their exclusion wasn’t because of individual failures but of systemic barriers into the structure of science itself

Why Webworm Is Leaving Substack Why I am going out on my own, and why I need you more than ever!

just a quick note that after 5 years + 4 months of writing webworm, i am moving my newsletter off of substack and taking it out on my own. for any readers - nothing really changes: the next edition will arrive in your inbox as per usual. my thoughts: www.webworm.co/p/webwormisl...

Substack -> unsubscribed, deleted, goneburger b/c they ally with n*zis. Unacceptable.

Studied 1k comments against Turei yesterday (it's 1.2k now). New Zealand's Deputy PM, using official Facebook account, directed followers to target senior academic, & wāhine Māori - leading to unsurprisingly awful rhetoric from his constituency. Words have consequences, but DPM's impunity telling. 🤷‍♂️

What happened to Predator Free 2050?

Today from The Detail: Predator Free 2050 was hit by a Budget blow, and now the 'moonshot' goal is under threat.

💉 I’ve just learnt RFK Jr has named his replacements for the committee.

Some names are familiar to me from following anti-vaccine circles and pseudoscience, e.g. Pebworth, Malone, Levi.

Kulldorff is a member of the Great Barrington Declaration.

I’d expect anti-vaccine/pseudoscience to dominate 😔

The House: Parliamentary privileges - Race as an aggravating factor? Analysis: Reactions and advice from Parliament's Clerk, Speaker and even the committee chair show it has recommended indefensibly harsh punishments.

This is an excellent contextual unpicking of the Privileges Committee report + recommendations for sanction of TPM's MPs. Journalism like this is essential and we are lucky to have RNZ (+ Phil Smith) to provide it to us.

That explains the ‘NZ’ article - a lazy account full of racist tropes and wilful misinterpretations - fully out of the far right, libertarian playbook. Vile.

New Zealand Deputy PM Winston Peters bemoaned deteriorating standards in parliament in a Facebook post published last week, ignoring his own role in what he highlighted. A new report (sadly) expands on what I published late-Jan this year focussing on the DPM's vaulting incendiary, dangerous speech.

This isn’t just bad news for Novavax. Pharma companies are going to be spooked by the prospect of having to RE-DO (!) entire trials
