If you follow that link what you now see is a story *about* JKR criticising the BBC, and not whatever the original piece she was commenting on was.
The article's headline and opening paragraph are now about the fact that JK Rowling made comment on the article itself, but not presented as edits.

Apologies for the JK Rowling / Media transphobia posting, but this year old JKR tweet of a Telegraph article is going around, and I find something quite remarkable about this, which is that the Telegraph has edited the story to refocus *on* the tweet, creating an odd sort of credibility loop.

The person who says he could have checked is being a prick about it.

I don’t normally enjoy being blocked but it’s very funny to me that Will blocked me, not for pointing out you could still get the poppies, but for saying he should have checked.

And here’s the start. I like how the colours go quite well actually. Stopping halfway through a round because I’ve been doing a lot today and my arm is starting to ache.

Starting a thread for my crochet projects, as much to keep track of them for myself as anything. Now I can do granny squares I’m working on a small blanket / throw. Blue and grey wool because that’s what I have.

What I knew when I was asked questions was that he had been asked questions but we didn't know the answer to those questions because he had not answered yet and so when I answered those questions I didn't know my answer would change.

I’ve been learning to crochet and I’m both suprised and delighted to discover I love it and seem to be good at it. I’ve been going for a bit over a week and I made this hat today…
