last week I went to a Tims cause I hadn't been in awhile and just wanted a large double double and 10 timbits. I felt like death after eating those timbits. god damn horrible. Coffee hadn't improved at all either. Was just muddy sugar water.

Honestly, I had Tim's a week or so back and it was way better than I remember it being. Had a breakfast wrap and it was well constructed, stuffed, and tasted good.

Then not more than a day or two later, someone brought Tim's donuts to work, and those too were better than I remembered.

Mudblood is a good description of their coffee.

The terf wrote a new book or two on the IP, maybe there was a movie recently or something.

HBO Max is producing a series - one season per book. Iirc, season one already aired.

Just bought an HP 50 pack. Hope my own comes tomorrow!

Tim Hortons is now dead to me I did enjoy eating the occasional doughnut but that is it no more.

I haven't bought anything from them in ages. I can't even remember the last time I stepped into one and ordered food.

They're promoting it because there's a tv series coming out soon

Hp was loved, by myself, too. But even then, I'm not sure I'd ever thought of hp as great, just "comfortably decent enough".

But yeah, jkr is a fucking monster.

It was, when we were kids and kinda stupid . It you take 5 mins, it's a racist and sexist cesspool and the story is pond deep.

And don't get me started on jk...

No, it was a popular series of books.

I hope that the Harry Potter series outlives Rowling. Yes, it's an imperfect series that Rowling's prejudices seeped into, but there is still a lot of good to be found in it. Eventually, Rowling will die and fans will no longer have to worry about supporting transphobia. Some will still say it's not okay to like Harry Potter, but I hope most people will be able to embrace the series

Trans people existing unharassed and legally able to exist but the characters in this fake story about magic children is really fun.

It is a shame that vocal minority of the fans have become asshats. More millennials support HP than take your extremist stance.

That is why they keep opening HP stores in major cities and they have hr long waits to get in.

The "controversy" is probably the intended marketing campaign.

Ads make me less likely to buy something. Ads make me irrationally annoyed.

JKR is actively politically involved in the persecution of trans people and the protection of transphobes. Even if she does not directly profit from an individual piece of HP media, the success of any HP media strengthens her brand and thus her political power.

That's why it matters. Not an abstract question of "death of the author" or the Ship of Theseus of adaptations of adaptations, but the single contemporary living human being who converts Harry Potter's cultural cachet into actualized hatred.
