  • Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

    That is putting it very mildly.

    "There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

    He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

    Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”












  • because you’re a troll who thinks trump is out to genocide your gay daughter. - that was your response to my being critical of democrats for genocide…

    What on Earth are you talking about? Basically none of that was correct.

    Also, that’s a pretty weird dodge around the fact that you are not a member of any human rights campaigns. You would have looked less silly if you had just lied and said Amnesty International or something.





  • That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

    They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.
