Kinda funny how the people most crying about ‘cancel culture’ are the same people whole-heartedly embracing it.

It was never anything more than worrying that -they'd- get cancelled. They don't give a fuck if someone else does, nd commonly agree when they do.

Simple rules. If you're legitimately worried that you will be cancelled..you're probably right.... and also an asshole. So do something about it?

(February 2, 2022 at 2:33 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Here is a list of 50 books that conservative parents in Texas are trying to have banned from schools, and just about every single one is considered problematic for discussing racism or LGBTQ issues.

For example, one book being targeted is White Bird: A Wonder Story by R.J. Palacio. NBC News summarizes: “A parent in the Spring Branch ISD said this graphic novel — about a Jewish teen living in France after Nazis seized power — should be banned because it’s ‘biased’ and could lead to the ‘skewing of a young child’s mind.’” We wouldn’t want any young minds to be skewed against Nazis.

Another targeted book is a biography of Michelle Obama that one parent complained “unfairly depicts former President Donald Trump as a bully.”

White christian fear, it's always been there. Trump just brought it to the surface and gave it a louder voice.

Can we just go back to hating the commies?

Pretty please? I'm good at hating commies. Its a hell of alot easier than believing that the white christian race is under attack.

Whoopi Goldberg is a racist? Come on people, maybe offensive or insensitive. Accurate yes, racist no.

Yeah, Whoopie gets suspended but Joe Rogan is protected.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Hm. Whoopi isn't on a list of people I watch, but don't get me wrong. The only thing I've seen her in is STNG, and that was back when I still watched TV. The more I see of it, the less I like Spotify.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Crosby, Stills, and, Nash have walked too.

I don't use Spotify so I'll just sit back and read about the exits...what shall we call it? Spotexodus? Exitify?

Just for 37:

The Washington Football Team, formerly the Washington Redskins, is now formerly the Washington Football Team. Their new name is the Washington Commanders.

Here's a suggestion for a new mascot:

Book Banner Charged With Child Molestation
Quote:A Missouri parent who fought for the ban of LGBTQ-themed books from school libraries is now facing a felony charge of second-degree child molestation.

Ryan Utterback, a 29-year-old father from Gladstone, Mo., is also facing a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault, and a misdemeanor charge of furnishing pornographic material or attempting to furnish to a minor in a separate case, KMBC-TV reported.
