I don’t spend my day thinking about my legacy and the mark I’m going to leave.” The tone is set. The famous novelist doesn’t seem to care too much about the consequences of her outings deemed transphobic. It all started because of a tweet from the Harry Potter creator who was ironic about an article about “people who get their periods”: “I’m sure we had to have a word for these people. Someone help me. Feum? Famme? Feemm? »
A few words that were enough to shake the J.K. Rowling myth. In the podcast The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, available from this Tuesday, the main interested party claimed that her words “have been deeply misunderstood.” For all that, she says she does not regret the consequences on her legacy: “What a really pompous way to live your life thinking about the trace we will leave. It doesn’t matter, I’ll be dead. I’m only interested in now. I’m only interested in what’s alive. »
She goes even further with this statement about her fans: “They tell me that I could have been loved forever but that it’s impossible since what I said. However, I wasn’t unhappy to come down from my pedestal. »

Alexei Navalny’s body, which his relatives had been demanding for over a week, has been handed over to his mother, the Russian opposition leader’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.
In recent days, Alexeï Navalny’s team has regularly complained about not having access to the body of the deceased Russian opponent. His relatives had complained that investigators would spend at least 14 days carrying out an “expertise” on his remains before handing them over.
Navalny’s relatives accuse the Kremlin of killing him and trying to cover up his tracks. According to Navalny’s mother, Russia is trying to decompose the body so that it can no longer be examined. Last week, Alexei Navalny’s mother and lawyers were not allowed to enter the morgue.
Eight days after his death, Navalny’s body was returned to his mother. The Russian opponent’s spokeswoman, Kira Iarmich, said on X (ex-Twitter) that she did not yet know whether “the authorities will prevent (the funeral) from taking place as the family wishes and as Alexei deserves ».
Alexei Navalny was the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, where he gained widespread popularity, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to his in-depth investigations into corruption under Vladimir Putin’s regime
