To be fair that’s why it’s given the vague name “Cancel culture” rather than “an authoritarian regime”

Yeah exactly what this story needs, ANOTHER layer of complexity.
The problem is, some of these people had to dedicate their entire lives to perpetrating this fraud and even then, we only have a big handful of examples to point to. Oh, you got us, you managed to prove that turning your entire life into a lie can actually fool some people. Meanwhile, 90% of the publishing industry…
I agree. The original Atlantic piece was shit, but the way Jezebel has covered it has also been pretty bad.
I dunno. And then what? I think she is coping with this gilded cage bullshit pretty well. She’s not the type to live by herself in a pad on 5th avenue and get a gig as a book editor.
I think he actually likes this weird porcelain statue/bathed in milk look. He is genuinely fair-skinned and in theory it complements his hair, but let’s get real, he has the money and time to get at least a modest tan if he wants it. I think he sees his muscular stay-puft marshmallow man vibe as a *LOOK*.
I low key loved La Femme Nikita when I was like 12 years old. That and Silk Stalkings. USA in the 90s had a lurid vibe that young-me found intriguing. Didn’t they also run cartoons?
60% of Americans including a huge proportion of the people blabbering about how COVID-19 is “only dangerous” if you have an underlying condition.
Oh no . . . a link to a dot gov website . . . data??? ack . . . .
Beth’s explaner worries me because it’s more than two sentences and requires the person listening to have a basic understanding of causality. So, it’s not likely to actually convince anyone who needs convincing.
It’s almost like there MIGHT be no bottom to the depravity of people who claim to represent the purest and strictest form of godliness? I mean, I am just SHOCKED I tell you SHOCKED.
Yes, dressing up and role playing is healthy expression. But not usually past the age of, say, 12. And not in public or broadcast to hundreds/thousands of people. And not as holocaust victims. At Auschwitz.
It’s all such a fucking distraction.
Am I crazy for kind of buying Reuters’ excuse that it’s actually the lighting?
I don’t think I would say she attracts sympathy for being ignored. Frankly, I think she is lucky, and has played her cards very carefully so as to not attract much attention at all.
I’m still trying to figure out what “due process” the academy owed him at all. How did this even make it to court? This private club that invited me to join kicked me out because they don’t like me anymore, now I want to sue to be reinstated?
You don’t have to wrap your head around it. This is mental illness. It’s analogous to a mom who harms her child, or fails to rescue him from harm, because she believes he is possessed by demons.
“Well, he’s not irredeemable” is apparently enough of a qualification
Oh my god, two contradictory things are true at the same time, BURN THE WITCH
