You could call it Cancel Culture, or you could call it People Who Lose Their Gigs Due to Incompetence (for example, a comedian who has ceased to be funny).

Sort of like referring to women as “females”. I think there’s a weird detached clinical quality to it, like the person is studying some new, strange bug.

Yes or, “I want to be mean to more people”.

Whenever I hear someone complain about needing to be PC all I hear is “ugh I don’t want to have to be polite”. 

Can we throw on people complaining about pc culture too and kill two birds with one stone?

Canceling man sounds like a good choice to me.

I’d be down to cancel “Cancel Culture”, if we define it as the whiny bleat of someone getting pushback for being a shitty human being. That’s far more aggravating than actual cancel culture, which really doesn’t exist and is much less corrosive than shitheaded pissants who rail against “snowflakes” and grossly…

‘“sorry, I’m at capacity” like they’re some shitty nightclub.’ lol. How hard is it to write “thank you for telling me. I’m kind of busy right now, let me get back to you later.” This is why I love texting – you can put it aside for a few hours until you’ve (i.e., me) replenished your energy meter like a Sim in the…

On the one hand, it IS good to check in with people before you’re about to dump something on them. It feels like an ambush sometimes when someone just dumps a bunch of heavy emotional stuff when you aren’t in a position to handle it or respond. If someone just woke up or is running late, they’re not going to be in a…

Cast Octavia Spencer properly, you cowards.

So it’s a dance off movie. 

And after that tweetstorm, it is probably a very necessary grudge that has expanded to include Picoult and Weiner as well.

“Inclusion absolutely matters, in the classroom and outside the classroom, but yelling at a single woman with absolutely no sway in the publishing or academic worlds, is not the way to get it.” 

The problem with this is the power difference. Bestselling, millionaire authors with large fan bases are attacking an unknown college student and pretending the criticism actually hurts them in any real way. It doesn’t.

Look, Kelly, I know I said it was too early for you to decorate for Christmas, but I would never take it to HOA levels.

To me, Bloomberg will always be the guy who, as mayor of NYC, fired a $30,000/yr city employee for having a game of solitaire on his computer screen. The employee had a solid work history, but Bloomberg didn’t care to look any further.  He just had to prove he was a Big Swinging Dick.

These men aren’t going to win. I’m assuming Bloomberg is afraid of Bernie or Warren winning the nomination, but him getting into the race doesn’t help stop that. He would be better off helping one of the moderate Candidates in the race.  

Yes, but dammit, we COOK with it. Let’s see you make all your lovely baked goods, sauces, and mac n cheese dishes without it!

it seems like an odd stance to take -or at least, incredible that she cared enough to actively try to block it - but I sort of get it, especially because I HATED the common book they picked for us and felt quite passionately about it after.

WOW. I’m shocked by all this in part because I am a huge fan of Sarah Dessen... so I know that statement is absolutely true.
