I’m finding it very ironic to still be in the greys at Gizmodo, despite being an old white guy working at (NASA FFRDC redacted), but getting >130 stars for my snark about Taylor Swift. Life is good, I guess.

Guaranteed that many of the people upset about this have ranted about PC Culture, everyone being too sensitive, and the pussification of America (re safe spaces most likely) sometime very recently.
