I heard a story first hand about one of her writers/producers (a relatively well known one) getting pushed out of the show (along with her husband, who was an editor or something) after they simply questioned whether it was prudent for Ellen to go back on the air during the 2008 writers strike. I forget the details,…

Yeah it’s crazy how Babylonians are still here living in a country that subjected them to genocide

Not me, I’m only as proud as a Pea-coRk

Comparing actual living people to a people who dispersed thousands of years ago is not a good look.

The part where she hired a scab crew for lockdown broadcasts instead of her normal crew speaks to how awful of a boss and producer she is

Is that not how Affleck would pronounce motherboard?

You understand Native Americans still exist right? They aren’t a dead civilization you can dismiss because you’re shitty education system taught you cowboys killed them all 100+ years ago.

I absolutely fucking loathe John Howard, particularly after the Libs have spent the past decade and a bit canonising the fucker.

“Make it stop”

In my experience the actual nicest people tend to be the ones who don't draw attention to themselves.  They are humble enough to let actions speak for themselves, they also don't tend to be super cheery everyday of the year because that's not healthy.

I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric.

First off, Nick Cannon is a bigoted, insane anti-Semite who should not be on national TV. Fuck him.

But to the people who are turning this into some kind of reverse racism, “if someone said this about black people” style argument, fuck you too.
