No. 

It's not stress or tension between the races. It's white people being racist. 

yea i peeped that too. what a fucking mess even the explanation is. It blows my mind how...people....keep making these mistakes. Creating an inclusive environment and more importantly enforcing it really isn’t hard if you’re not harboring some angst and all these bullshit responses from company’s with their “we will…

The “troubling precedent” was what stood out to me. Someone typed that and didn’t see anything wrong with it. Why you would ever say something like that regarding someone’s PAY? What’s a troubling precedent is Hollywood’s decision to continue to employ pedophiles and abusers and shitheads. 

I was going to try and play Devil’s Advocate based on experience (hey, it counts!), but, on IMDB, Adele actually has more writing and producing credits than Peter, although her writing is primarily TV, Peter only has 3 screenplays to his credit to her 14 - so that explanation is actually NOT A THING!

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

Are you in an argument with yourself right now? You added things to my comment that I never said and then tried to knock them down. Also, liberal democracies have effectively banned guns (see Australia and the UK) but please continue to act like it is all but impossible. 

“But wanting something simply isn’t enough in a liberal democracy”

Never ceases to blow my mind that there are people who see gun registration and licensing as such an unreasonable measure. 

I think the problem with saying cancel culture doesn’t exist is that it assumes it always stays in the realm of famous (or famous-adjacent) people who can get publicity for their brand, but I’m not sure that’s the case. Anecdotally, I’ve heard from a psychologist friend that she’s starting to see more cases of…

First of all, usually people like Manny who get off by being mean or exclusionary are only deeply sorry about the damage they do when they themselves get hurt. He had no problem being part of that You Can’t Sit With Us lifestyle until there was no longer a chair for him at the table.

Secondly, I’m reminded of that…

Though he describes being canceled as “truly the most terrible thing I’ve ever been through in my life,”

“Bitch is bitter because without him we’re doing better,” posted by Zamora, was taken as a diss against fellow YouTuber Jeffree Star, conspicuously absent from the photo. (A few days prior, Zamora had tweeted and deleted a long thread accusing Star of making racist comments.)

JFC, what a bad look. Read the room, Megan. The room is full of Americans riddled with bullets and the floor is slick with their blood. Now, as well as pretty much our previous decade, is a bad time to publicly dig in your heels on gun worship.

“The AR-15 is by far the most popular gun in America, by far,” she said. “I was just in middle-of-nowhere Wyoming... if you’re talking about taking people’s guns from them, there’s going to be a lot of violence.”

When the “good guys” with guns threaten us with violence. The irony.

“Spaghettio” is funnier than “spaghetti”

Jeremy Renner also wrote Baby Shark. True story.

Funny, Jeremy Renner’s Hennessy and Jeep commercials made me want to combine my passions for cognac and trucks and also overpasses.

Jeremy Renner is a perfectly serviceable actor, but I also find him creepy and off-putting to the point of distraction.

Speaking of Jeremy Renner, those Jeep commercials with him are on heavy rotation on Hulu, and have led to me having several thoughts about them.
