That would seriously explain so much.

... Would actually be a neat idea for a book/movie as well: Successful hack author gets driven mad by some mold to go down the alt-right pipeline after they've artistically peaked.

It's more a meme than truth. The "black mold" picture is of wallpaper and like much online gumshoeing it's sourced by people piling on an allegation without any bearing in fact.

JK Rowling's bigotry has nothing to do with her McMansion's state of repair. It's the standard English brain worms that every rich person in her social club develops.

I believe the headline but what an awful article. They just link to the post about the mold and do no research on what wallpaper it could be. These articles are turning into ChatGPT summaries of conversations on Twitter.

Some redditor said to find this video:

to see an expanded view:

where they believe they see a tree wallpaper.

So whatever broke JK was arguably not mold. Cold black heart…

It was like this before ChatGPT. I'm sure that ChatGPT makes it a lot easier, though.

I mean, that article doesnt provide any proof that its wallpaper, and that would be some ugly-ass wallpaper if it is. Who would ever put that in a house? Also theres no discernable repeating pattern to it, though maybe we just cant see enough.

Never even knew about the mold. Just thought the idea was funny. 😅

Article contains picture.

Article does not contain picture of the actual subject of the article.

I mean, several books by Stephen King have actually been written by the mountains of coke and rivers of booze he did, as he has no memories of writing them.

Arguably, Secret Window.
