Why is everyone obsessed with the Midsommar movie, is it the flowers? I started it but I thought the main character was too grating so I stopped it. Read more

I guess old Lineham will have to go back to his thriving TV career and... oh... Read more

It’s about god damn time that Twitter did something about Lineham. He’s been harassing trans women constantly, even to the point of having the police intervene, and they’ve turned a blind eye to him because he’s a verified person. JKRowling would be nice, but I don’t see that happening any time soon.  Read more

What happens when the speaking market for cancelled free-speech warriors gets saturated? There are only so many CPAC conferences and university commencements, right? Maybe we can have a Thunderdome series or something. I’d buy that for a dollar.

I hate that Graham Linehan has forever trainted The IT Crowd for me. I know he’s been known transphobic for a while but I somehow just found out about it. Between this and Cas Anvar grom The Expanse turning out to be a scumbag rapist, it’s been a shitty week for shows I like.  But obviously I'm glad this stuff is Read more

It’s possible that, by inflating expected turnout, TikTok users discouraged some people from attending (who wants to wait in line with 1 million people to get into a venue with capacity for 20k?). Read more

Thank you for posting about this — Dr. Davis is one of the finest thinkers in the world and a genuine revolutionary. Are Prisons Obsolete? answered so many questions I had about abolition and expanded my sense of the possible; between this and Mariame Kaba’s editorial in the Times it’s great to see some of the people Read more

Personally, I think we should probably put a moratorium on constructing any statues of white people for at least a couple hundred years, just to be safe. Read more

I request that all American citizens reading this comment Read more

Man, Gwyneth and J.K. should have a can’t-shut-the-fuck-up off. Not sure which one is misjudging the moment more. Read more

I didn’t think this would qualify as shade, but the number of people somehow missing the point... Read more

Oh, and all of the people purposefully missing the point and the people too dumb to get it?  This whole thing is so delicious it MUST be fattening.
