I hate when I’m watching a tv show or movie at the gym while running and there’s a sexual scene for no reason lol

Seems more like a proactive approach to stopping weather related problems out in the field and cutting the risk of costly maintenance then some low IQ anti green energy advocate's wet conspiracy fever dream come to life.

That's literally only in the movie, which she did not direct.

Have you seen Warhammer goblins and gnoblars? Their noses are like 2 feet long. Even if goblins did emerge from antisemitic stereotypes, assuming that fantasy writers have to be aware of this and that they are antisemites is ridiculous.

The only way to stop a dishonorable targ with a bat’leth is a honorable warrior with a bat’leth.
There, fixed it for you.

That person straight up said they don’t have a problem with trans people. Their issue was with cancel culture. How liberally do you want to apply those labels? Because if you throw them around too much, they start to lose their power.

Yeah good example of what I'm talking about. Dave hasn't been doing jokes for years, he goes up there and just talks about controversial shit, and takes a stance that upsets people.
He used to make actual jokes about touchy subjects just fine, not sure why he's gone in a different direction.
I'm a huge fan of his too.

What scares me is that this isn’t as obvious as it used to be. Some people are really like that. If you don’t hate something 100% as much as they do, they will call you all sorts of nasty names and declare you the enemy of their crusade.
In this case, all because you wanted to play a game.

Trust me, they have no shame. It's called capitalism, as long as they get the money it doesnt matter what misinformation they spread or who gets hurt.

Where did you get the Star of David from?
The rest of that description fits the way goblins are pictured in dozens of other childrens books.
Rowling is not exactly reticent about her opinions. If she hated Jews she'd have said so straight out.

You literally used the same dog whistle argument that argues the existence of an international Jewish conspiracy. Just because you're unaware of its influence doesn't mean you're not affected by it.

Well spotted. The embarrassment should be with the stupid MP and the very sorry excuse for a journalist.

The objection is to her featuring goblins, which were commonly used in children's books in the period when she was writing (ultimately inspired by George Macdonald in the 19th century; he was rediscovered in the 1980s). Just google "goblin children's book" and see how many hits you get.
I think I know exactly which book was her main influence, as it was popular around Edinburgh a bit before she started writing the HP books - my wife got it for her kids. Nobody's ever accused that book of being antisemitic.

This is more just clickbait media bollocks and faux outrage.
If using a diesel generator temporarily to stop damage to a turbine costs less than the alternative, it's probably a good decision for the environment.
