You "shared some tears" because they're holding a Harry Potter event for kids in a park ?

You "disavowed" @jk_rowling ?

Are you in a cult ?

Last night, @ParkBoard did the right thing. Apologized to TGD2S community after emotional discussion. Shared some tears. Disavowed JKR. Will undertake concrete actions to rebuild trust.

my latest for @Quillette focuses on @MrAndyNgo’s great new book about the murderous “Zizian” cult, which emerged in the 2010s from fringes of trans activism & Bay Area “rationalist” AI doomerism. I also discuss Christopher Clark’s fine historical book, “A Scandal in Köningsberg”

What does a 19th-century Prussian sect have in common with a California cult obsessed with AI doom?

More than you'd think. @jonkay reviews @MrAndyNgo’s new book on the Zizians, a tiny group linked to eight deaths, alongside Christopher Clark's history of a Königsberg scandal.

the most tragicomic part of these melodramas is when tough-talk protestors (who support “all means of resistance” and heroic forms of “direct action”) finally get arrested: they start hysterically playing the role of eggshell-sensitive martyr the moment they’re put in handcuffs

Antizionist Diana Bosco was ordered by a court to stay away from the Jewish neighbourhood of Bathurst & Sheppard, where protesters menace the community every weekend. Bosco violated that court order repeatedly. Yesterday they were finally arrested.

It’s absolutely insane that anyone at @UBC involved in this debacle still has their job.

I think the bigger story here is that I apparently didn’t use paragraph breaks

A "cynical campaign to convince the world that Canada is a cesspool of violent anti-Semitism."

A 2010 National Post article wherein @jonkay critiqued @bnaibrithcanada's data about antisemitism.
