"Get a fucking grip."

There is no reasonable person that could have watched it (the podcast) and not seen it as a lighthearted conversation amongst colleagues and chums having a larf, enjoying ourselves about Harry Potter and my experience watching it for the first time in the theatre as a Jewish guy and how some tropes are so embedded in society that they are basically invisible even in a considered proces like movie making. We did that a month ago.. a month ago. so like two COVID mutations ago, back when we were still in beta world.
This morning I wake up and it's trending on Twitter and here's the headline from Newsweek: Jon Stewart accuses J.K. Rowling of antisemitism.
I do not think J.K. Rowling is anti semitic. I did not accuse her of being anti semitic. I do not think the Harry Potter movies are anti semitic. I really love the Harry Potter movies, probably too much for a gentleman of my considerable age.
So let me just say this to Newsweek: your business model is fucking arson. and not the good kind where they light stuff and control it to prevent forest fires in the future, the kind of arson where you're on the mountain and you've got five minutes and you don't know where the dogs are, like that's your business model and now all the shitheads pile into this ridiculously out-of-context nonsense that you put out there and let me tell you something Newsweek you used to mean something, you know what I mean? you were my go to at the airport when the kiosk was out of Time Magazine. BOOM ROASTED.
I cannot stress this enough, I'm not accusing J.K. Rowling of being antisemitic she need not answer to any of it I don't want the Harry Potter movies censored in any way it was a lighthearted conversation, get a fucking grip
Jon Stewart took to social media yesterday morning to clarify his comments on J.K. Rowling on The Problem with Jon Stewart over a month ago.
