    MeFi: It’s not just her blatant transphobia on Twitter but in her fiction too. https://t.co/mJfAdYLVUl // I guess I’m lucky that a lifetime of Roald Dahl fandom has prepared me to compartmentalise Rowling’s objectionable opinions from her stories. 🙁

    Suddenly when I click links in Hangouts on my iPhone, they open in the Google app instead of Safari. I cannot get them to go back to Safari. Anybody know how? This app behaviour is like a masterclass in user-hostile dark patterns.
