Duolingo has to say sorry after getting locked in a trans row and criticising 'mean' JK Rowling in German lesson
Language-teaching app Duolingo has apologised after JK Rowling was described as 'mean' in one of its language classes. The platform has been accused of letting gender ideology 'infect' its translation exercises in a German lesson. 'Do you like books with Harry Potter as a character?', was one of the questions users had to select the correct response for. Written in German, the correct answer was: 'Yes, but in my opinion the author is mean.' While the wrong response said: 'Yes, you're right. I'm interested in sports.' Journalist Gaby Koppel said she was trying to learn German on the app when she unexpectedly discovered the insult. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she wrote: 'Shame on you @duolingo: learning German and I came across the sentence "Yes I like Harry Potter but the author is mean". 'How woke do you have to be to let #trans ideology infect a language lesson?' Speaking to the Telegraph, Ms Koppel said: 'It's gratuitous – how is Rowling relevant to learning German?' She added that the Harry Potter author was the 'first and only real life person' that had been 'picked out for criticism' in the five months she had used the app. 'Not Putin, not the Ayatollahs, but somebody who happens to take a gender-critical stance,' she said. According to company figures, Duolingo has 34.1 million daily active users, making it the most popular language app in the world. A Duolingo spokesman said: 'We apologise for any offence caused and will remove this content from the app.' It comes after JK Rowling backed writer John Boyne and branded his trans critics 'tinpot tyrants' after an annual LGBT literary prize was axed due to backlash over his nomination. Mr Boyne, 54, who is best known for writing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, made the longlist for the Polari Prize this month for his book Earth. However, his nomination prompted more than 10 out of the 24 authors who had made the longlist to ask to be removed from the running due to Mr Boyne's gender-critical beliefs. On X, JK Rowling replied to an article her fellow under-fire author wrote today about the ordeal Over 800 writers, editors, publishers and booksellers signed a joint author statement objecting to Mr Boyne's nomination. On X, JK Rowling replied to an article her fellow under-fire author wrote today about the ordeal. Backing Mr Boyne, she said: 'This makes me both sad and angry. An incredibly talented writer and a thoroughly decent human being (the two are by no means synonymous, as we know) traduced by tinpot tyrants without an ounce of his talent or integrity.' On Wednesday, Nicola Sturgeon called for JK Rowling to face 'more scrutiny' over her stance on trans issues. JK Rowling penned a scathing review of Nicola Sturgeon's hotly anticipated memoirs on the day it was officially launched last week. The billionaire author, who famously wore a t-shirt labelling the former first minister a 'destroyer of women's rights', posted the expletive-riddled assessment of 'Frankly' on her website The women's right campaigner wrote: 'She remains stubbornly wedded to her belief that it is possible to let some men into women's spaces on the men's say so, without letting any man who fancies it come inside. 'She denies there are any risks to a policy of gender self-identification. She can't imagine any male predator capitalising on such policies, in spite of the fact that it has, demonstrably, happened many times. 'She is flat out Trumpian in her shameless denial of reality and hard facts.' In an interview with BBC's Newscast to promote the book, Ms Sturgeon responded by saying the post made her feel 'more at risk of possible physical harm'. She told BBC Radio Ulster: 'JK Rowling is absolutely entitled to her view, maybe putting herself up for a bit more scrutiny about her view would be helpful, but I don't criticise her for expressing her view.' JK Rowling has been approached by the Daily Mail for comment.

OnlyFans tennis star claps back at haters with another raunchy post after US Open match got cancelled
American tennis player and OnlyFans star Sachia Vickery has clapped back at haters with a raunchy post on her Instagram. The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio. She also charges men $1,000 to date her. Vickery has since faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision, but now the American has hit back. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. Her OnlyFans platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' strip teases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport.

Canada's first cat museum coming to Montreal: pop-up exhibit launches next month
Cat lovers, unite! On the heels of the city's neighbourhood cat tours, Montreal will officially be home to Canada's first cat museum: Le Miaousée. Le Miaousée celebrates the role of cats in society while promoting compassion, education, and community action to improve feline welfare. Through pop-up events across Montreal, the organization aims to bring together cat lovers, artists, historians, and rescue organizations to share stories, art, and experiences that strengthen the human-cat connection. A permanent space is planned for 2026, featuring educational and engaging exhibits on feline history, and culture. Le Miaousée was founded by friends Aqeela Nahani and Lynn van der Valk, who met at work five years ago and quickly bonded over a shared love of cats—and a good internet meme. That mutual passion sparked the idea for a space celebrating feline culture and community. Expect a cozy lounge with five (or more!) adoptable rescue cats and a flexible event space for workshops, talks, and community gatherings. A curated cat-themed boutique showcasing locally made art, gifts, and products that support the mission. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Le Miaousée - Montréal Cat Museum (@mtlcatmuseum) When does Le Miaousée open? From September 12 to 28, Le Miaousée will host Miaoutréal: The History of Montreal's Cats at 215 Rue de Castelnau Est—a pop-up exhibit a few blocks from Jarry Park and Jean Talon Market that brings its vision to life. Visitors can explore two immersive rooms of history, art, and rescue stories, designed to evoke the charm of Montreal's iconic back alleys. Highlights include family-friendly activities, a weekend market by Réseau Secours Animal, and a boutique featuring locally made treasures—a purr-fect preview of what's to come when the permanent museum opens in 2026. Where is the Le Miaousée pop-up? The exhibition runs September 12–28 at 215 Rue de Castelnau East, and the venue for the permanent museum (opening in 2026) is yet to be revealed.
