Obviously av club is going to deny cancel culture, while writing the type of article that typically acts as a subtle nudge to your audience to cancel someone

Anyone “reading the room” would notice that the majority of people are tired of the woke nonsense. You do not speak for us, Shannon. 

“Atkinson, to his credit, doesn’t cite any specific examples of this recent “mob-ish” behavior. (Though the neverending, transphobic saga of J.K. Rowling is certainly the easiest to access here.)“

What are you talking about? You should be ashamed of the title you chose. He presented an opinion... one in which he is actually right. Bullying does not fix bullying and that is exactly what cancel culture is- just another form of bullying. 

To sum up what Shannon wrote -

He’s not wrong.
Because he’s not just speaking about woke left cancelling, but cancelling on both sides. Because the right also call out and cancel people for violating their tenets and mores.

With the caveat that I have not read Mr. Beans’ statement in full, I have to say the parts quoted in this article sound like really good points. And then this article sounds like a perfect example of what he is talking about. Maybe the author of this article meant it to be like a meta ironic commentary? Like what bean…

I’ve really never understood the problem with actors playing roles of characters when they don’t have every trait of the character, and this article spends so much time wallowing in unearned snark that it doesn't even make an attempt to make a case for why it's bad, just assuming everyone will agree. C'est la vie, I…

This whole mentality that we’ll save the working class by burning down the places the employ people has been astounding to watch rise up among so-called “socialists.”

What a nuclear fucking take. Let them die.

If it was me, I probably would have checked to see what the seating situation was like before heading out, which you’re able to do with reserved seating. Also, if it was still that popular three weeks in, what makes you think seats would be available without reservations?

Speaking of takes...let them die? These theaters employed a lot of people. It was their fault that a pandemic wiped out their business?

I’ve read lots of epically stupid Jezebel posts, but this has to up there. By the logic of this article it wouldn’t be good to have a woman President either, since they’d be “complicit in US imperialism.” You know there will be a Secretary of Defense no matter what, right? And they aren’t going to hire a peace…

“Men Who Can’t Read...”, “...they’d even insinuate they did not—or could not—read at all“

“What’s important to note in the pair’s joint statement is the absence of any reference to the novel’s Chinese origins.....”

Harris leans Republican and their veracity/accuracy is on the low side. They’re pretty much Rasmussen with different branding. Not to say that number isn’t way too high, but the reality is it’s very likely quite a bit lower.

I hate polls. Wait, no, I hate the headlines that come from polls.

There were 2,829 people polled. 1,924 of those people were white.47% of those white people said that they would vote from Trump.

47% is not 50%. That’s the difference between someone getting electoral college points. Shouldn’t the headline read, 47% of…

Lunchtime naps are easier now.

Alamo is doing the same, no charges until reopen. And the employees at least at the location I work at, are being told to apply for workers comp.

Um, MCAS is very easy to deal with. You don’t even have to know it exists. Existing procedures for runaway trim exist, and are easy to use. Its been around for decades even.
