Collectively we’re becoming the smartest and dumbest we’ve ever been as a species. It’s wild stuff. 

I remember discovering Cyberpunk literature at a young age, and while some of it was quite good, I don’t think I ever once thought that it would be cool to live in that kind of dystopian environment.

Yeah, this is a bad look, even after the “update”, when the article jumps from their post, to the article like this:

Maybe update the headline now that more information is available including her own assertion that Claire Hope is not her legal name.

*peeks at article*

Cancel culture absolutely exists, it just only works on people who’s fans participate, so mostly left-wing “influencer” and the like

The eternal refrain of the moron: “they were cool to me, it can’t be possible they were monstrous somewhere else”

I’ve always assumed that cancellation came after someone has attained some level of cultural relevance. If she has any at all, Grimes can’t really say anything because she wasn’t relevant until the point of her so-called cancellation. She's not wrong that society likes to dogpile (because we enjoy joining in on…

Stop reporting on these nitwits just for rage clicks. 

I’m looking forward to the emotional journey the audience will go on in the film from being sympathetic to the characters, to indifferent to them, to wondering if the two will ever get a new thing to talk about.

On the one hand, fuck this guy for his various gross behaviors. On the other hand, this is extremely funny and kudos to him for shutting this shit down (the ol’ “we want to profit from the value you people contribute to society but not actually respect or protect your innate humanity”). On the other other hand, fuck…

I am amazed that the AVclub managed to write this entire article without writing the words islam or muslim. Replacing it by “conservative”.

Also a nice note that you end up pushing the narrative that the gay dude is the bad guy here, just after you wrote : “Malaysia is one of the most restrictive countries on the…

Good for them, finding a way to get attention for a band I’ve never heard of.

This show really ought to be called "I Am Uninformed Enough about the World That I Believe I Can Marry a Prince of Wales Without a Thorough Background Check, Intense Scrutiny from the Royal Family, and Enough Class to Refuse a Place on a Reality Show—Particularly One about Competing to Marry Royalty."
