Cancel culture is a label that people use when they encounter free speech that disagrees with their own free speech. Backlash IS free speech. Boycotts ARE free speech. Decisions about whether or not to publish a certain book ARE free speech. Refusing to watch Woody Allen movies and urging others not to watch his…

What strikes me is that all of these people are either for or against the game because of the story or elements of the story. Meanwhile, I felt that the gameplay has been much improved from the first game and the pacing of the action makes it a lot more engaging, as well. The story had its ups and downs, to be sure,…

I would imagine that SDNY has all the evidence they (feel) they need for a conviction. Maxwell hasn’t just come to their attention or anything; they have been investigating this for months while attempting to locate her. The severity of the alleged crimes is such that SDNY has no reason to put it on the back burner,…

Sadly, yes. Yes, that is exactly how we settle arguments nowadays.

I think with Rick and Morty it’s more about how the humor is just so unexpected, so out of left field that it throws you off-balance. It makes you laugh before you even have time to think about it.

I think that the fact that their reservation system allowed 1,000,000 people to make reservations for a venue that could only accommodate 20,000, coupled with the fact that the campaign repeatedly bragged that the entire Tulsa metro area was somehow planning to show up, had more to do with the outcome than anything a…

Making fun of Instagram influencers is always worthy of our time.

Well, they sure as hell know what blackface is now. And that’s all that matters, really. I can’t tell if you’re defending blackface as long as it’s done without knowledge of what it means or if you’re just really into cultural relativism, but even the kindest assessment, taking into account naivety, would still…

Money is what you get for peddling a stationary bike in the second episode of Black Mirror.

Yeah, traitors against England. You don’t see a lot of statues of Washington or Jefferson in London, do you?

It is so weird that people who are so supportive of LGB stop and go “Hell no” when they get to T. I don’t know what Rowling’s hang up is, but I hope that she is still open to evolving. 

What the hell was she trying to say when she brought up the day she lost her virginity?

I wonder how many other countries have statues of traitors all over the place.

I can’t wait to see how Jason Bateman gets his way out of this situation!

The sad thing about all this is that Amy Cooper probably already has a lucrative job lined up at Fox News.

Let’s just do the same thing we did when we convinced them that global warming was dangerous.

He was a general? Damn, I thought he was just her NCO.

The use (or non-use) of an Oxford comma is a purely stylistic matter, not rising to the level of a “grammatical issue.”

An actual coup did take place and it was instigated by one James Comey in October of 2016.

No, she’s talking about Doctor Who, so it’s actually supposed to be “Who, Do You Love?” (Yes, I know that it should be “Doctor, Do You Love?” and everyone also knows that the Doctor is incapable of love, making the question moot.)
