Lance Armstrong is looking like a Zoolander villain these days.

That’s because he’s a sociopath.
Why is anybody giving this man a microphone? He’s just going to lie to you and then sue you for pointing it out.
Man, he has the deadest of dead eyes.
There’s actually a strong case to be made that believing in “witchcraft” wasn’t the problem per se, but that the witch trials were a deliberate campaign by the church to destroy whatever social power women had and weaken solidarity between sexes among the working class. Sylvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch is a…
“Oh yeah, the Barbie Movie is totally cancelled, that’s why it’s made literally a billion dollars.”
Ahh yes, “the left” out here “canceling” things like rapists and predators and racists and other similarly beleaguered folks, while the right performs legitimate market-speaking “boycotts” against companies who have the absolute nerve to show something other than a wholesome white cisgender heterosexual Christian…
Probably that time, while still married to Muskrat, she was photographed sitting on a bench reading Communist Manifesto. Trying so hard to look cool and hip for the pleebs.
Bud Light and M&M’s and Mr. Potato Head and Aunt Jemima and Disney and Colin Kapernik and Costa Coffee and the Barbie Movie and Every Single Book Ever Written About LGBT People and I could go on for HOURS.
Plus think of the salf-aggrandizing tales of perseverance available for the big comeback! “They tried to silence me, run me out of the industry, but I refuse to be canceled by the meek and small-minded! I’m the one with the microphone so YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!”
Sure, because the Right-wing neeeever cancels anything *coughs in Bud Light*
Given the whole nature of this story, my fingers are crossed for the part where Doja Cat starts talking shit about Grimes on social media.
“My tweet refers to due process in the justice system which is an essential element of freedom... It is what stops us from burning accused witches for example”
So here’s the thing... I’m not a court of law. I am under no requirement to consider anyone as innocent until proven guilty. The only guideline I need to follow is “good enough to me.” Give me some investigative and subpoena power and I might reconsider.
After reading about her houseboat adventure, I’ve been more of the mind that she’s always been annoying. It’s just that for a little while she was putting out music which jusitfied/obfuscated that annoyingness.
In my experience in entertainment and business, it means very little that someone’s nice to their peers (fellow performers, c-suite members, etc etc). It’s one thing when the people on the show poster have nice things to say about you; what “the help” has to say is a whole ‘nother.
I’ve always assumed that cancellation came after someone has attained some level of cultural relevance. If she has any at all, Grimes can’t really say anything because she wasn’t relevant until the point of her so-called cancellation. She's not wrong that society likes to dogpile (because we enjoy joining in on…
Girl you had a kid with the richest guy in the world, you weren’t ‘cancelled af’ you were transfixed by money.
The new female producer worked for the show for THREE THOUSAND EPISODES and it still took an unprecedented cast revolt to convince the suits at the network that maybe she was ready for a leadership role.
Nicknames are mostly harmless fun, but the fact that every group has to have one, as though each species of fish needs to have its own clever collective noun, is obnoxious. It used to be just the stoners and the metalheads who did it, and even then I can only think of a few bands before 2010 or so that had groupie…
