Calling Doyle a jackass is being too nice. He’s an absolute shithead and I hope this is going to encourage Globe & Mail to only let him write about soccer, or at least not TV which he’s demonstrated time and time again that he has no place doing.

The Week, a left leaning publication written by actual journalists, had a short story that put Harris’s complete comments into a nuanced perspective which sounds more like frustrated honesty than cruelty. “Do not come” was not Harris’s “original comment,” as Solis claims here. It came well within her speech.

As a native of Belfast my favourite Naomi Wolf moment was when she came to visit and praised how wonderful it was because the city didn’t have 5G. “So peaceful!” she exclaimed, “Just like the 70s!” Ermm... 

I keep mistaking this woman for Naomi Klein and it messes me up.

It could be space aliens, microchips, 5G, freedumb, vaccines, guns, abortions, trans people, BLM, etc...

You might be onto something. I also think that there’s something to be said for the whole way that people try to inculcate critical thinking skills. The same people who do “everyone gets a gold star” approaches to children’s self-esteem can take the idea that you should challenge your teachers, and challenge…

“Never Gonna Give You Up” is actually a pretty good song as well, the reason it was funny to trick someone into watching the video is because Rick Astley looks like he’s a 12 year old dancing at is Bar Mitzvah

There are multiple ways this is batshit insane. For instance, the same people who have been ignoring the ACTUALLY infectious disease that has really killed millions of people around the world now want to believe they can catch something... from vaccinated people?

I have a (possibly nutty) theory that this is fueled to some degree by the “self esteem” movement of the 70's and 80's. Parents of insecure kids were told to tell their kids how awesome they were, they did, but unfortunately those kids realized when they hit adulthood that the world is not going to keep telling you…

It’s nothing new. Standard cognitive dissonance, based around a fragile core identity. When your whole self-image is sunk into being the smart, unique individual who sees things the sheeple can’t, you reject any pesky thoughts that conflict with that self-image. 

When you decide as a matter of principle that it’s impossible for you to be wrong or do anything wrong, it’s very easy to simply dismiss any thoughts that conflict with that hypothesis.

As somebody who still reads and supports everything Nathan Rabin writes, I’m quite confident he would tell you to go fuck your sensitive self. The man aligns quite extensively with social justice and if he were writing for the av club today, you’d probably be bitching about him. The world moves forward man. If you…

HHHHOOOOOWWWWW???

What do you disagree with about what Katt Williams said.

They posted that a celebrity was in a weird white-supremacist ball when she was young. You know we can still go read the article and see that you’re lying, right? Is there a job opportunity Ellie Kemper lost over this that you’re mad about, or are you just making shit up like you’re accusing other people of?

Where’s your evidence that it was in bad faith? The person who first called attention to them was Asian. Do Asian people not have the right to express concern about people who have been racist towards them getting high-profile gigs in media? What about her co-workers, were their objections in bad faith too? Howcome…

Republican politics are not a character flaw that someone grows past. Like voting Republican, perhaps, sure. Working at a high level in the administration? Hell no, that’s laughable. We’re so DEEPLY far apart on this point you don’t really need to continue any farther. Also, Activision higher up employment is pretty…

A lawyer that worked for the administration that created the Patriot Act is extremely damning, what are you talking about?

This obnoxious ass train is never late.
