I don’t understand this or any of the many other opinion pieces published all over the internet that want me to believe that I shouldn’t be even a little upset that people have ignored the advice of medical experts because “being lectured about whether or not it’s safe to do anything is pointless, so why bother?”

I mean, going with an ipad vs an iphone is just choosing a clunkier platform with fewer options, which makes sense for the guy that went from Selena Gomez to Hailey Baldwin.

Now I know it is easy to jump to conclusions here, but she did clarify that there were a few good ones there. And would someone who was racist allow for such sentiments?

a-HEM. PICTURE OF FRANKIE, PLEASE. Honestly, talk about burying the lede.

You sometimes wish that health officials could speak a little more freely and off-the-cuff when you hear things like, “We wish her well, but some of the solutions she’s recommending are really not the solutions we’d recommend in the NHS,”and just know that he wants to blurt out, “What?! No. No no no.…

I always thought that was pretty gross. IIRC (and I might not), wasn’t it Vince Gill’s wife who kept that narrative going because she wanted more in the divorce? I vaguely remember Amy Grant’s husband saying something like “he was devastated by their divorce, but didn’t think Amy cheated on him.”

Came here just to say this! While her “pop” music made the Christians nervous, like Shania Twain’s “pop” version of her “country” record made the country people nervous, Amy’s divorce scandalized a nation. They had a bunch of kids. And then to follow that up with a marriage to Vince Gill? FOR SHAME indeed. And they…

I was going to say, wasn’t her big scandal that she got DIVORCED and REMARRIED? Loved how the thrice-married middle aged white guys would pontificate on her fallen status.

I love this reply and it’s too bad it’s so far down it wont get much attention.

A lot of generational infighting going on in the comments. I think one thing we can all agree on is that Camille Paglia is trash. She’s almost 74, folks. Decades of throwing sand in people’s faces and whining about it in op-eds. Cynically adopting the language of new movements so she can undermine it from her ivory…

“[The two generations following mine] are a bunch of coddled and entitled punks who will never know how good they had it! [The generation directly before mine] left us with a fucked up world and expect us to fix it!”

My Greatest Generation grandparents were openly racist, and my Boomer mother told me circa 1986 that she believed AIDS was god’s wrath upon the homosexuals. Moving the needle of social progress against these two generations (the Boomer monolith and the heroic-can-do-no-wrong Greatests, as well as the Reagan Democrats)…

It felt like the Gen X slander was put in there just to tie the article to 90s week. It would have worked better if it had just been about how the bigots co-opt and weaponize the language of social justice to push their hateful agenda. But instead turned into a worthless inter-generational warfare article that was…

A lot of words about how the focus on words is a distraction from the real issues. Could have just slipped that idea into an article about a real issue.

“Let’s reflect on how everything the anti-woke brigade says now was already said by galactic piece of shit Camille Paglia back in the 90's” could be a really interesting article. “Let’s reflect on how a bunch of shit said by Camille Paglia, who was born in 1947, proves that Gen X was anti-PC” is one of the weirdest…

Looking at the years and doing the math, it all makes sense. It’s always mom and dad’s fault, isn’t it?

If there was any real failure of Gen X, it was that we didn’t hold the Spin Doctors up as the poets of our generation.

So, “Gen X” is, by your own writing, tangential to the battles over political correctness. And Coupland’s description of it is, by your description of it, wrong and incomplete. Yet Coupland’s blindspots are then attributed to the Generation as a whole, and then those blindspots are linked to the failure of political…

Seems this is more an issue of the bigots co-opting language and twisting it than any particular failure of Gen X, to be honest. And I am certain that the same co-opting and turning into a slur happened before political correctness too. Seems that the bigots just don’t like it when we use language to describe their…

Millenials seem to have missed the memo that once you hit 35 you literally don’t have to care about any of this shit anymore.
