This is kind of a pretty song but I tried sing it on karaoke once for my kids and it was like torture. It's got the most unnatural singing rhythm ever.

My brother has this joke in his comedy routines that I have encyclopedic knowledge of everyone who has ever been cancelled (which is not true and I wish I did when it comes to, like, ex-Trump employees), but this post is probably evidence for his case.

(Those 5 cancellation attempts weren't about sexual impropriety, FTR.) As for the accusers I'll just paraphrase an article I saw about when Trump brought women who accused Bill Clinton with his debate with Hillary: "I feel bad for these women and that this is the safe space they've chosen."

But I feel mostly numb because while there was a time when I thought Neil Gaiman was the coolest, handsomest, talentest, charmingest writer in the world ... I've since lived through at least five attempts to cancel this man and so most of my reaction is, "Huh ... seems like this one is taking."

Eh, you know what? I'll just be sincere. I don't blame anyone for "not knowing" about Neil Gaiman because the most I heard was someone on some board back in, like, the LJ era saying, "I heard he fucks fans it's real creepy" and that's not much to hang your hat on ...

I like the camaraderie and picking stuff out, but it’s one of those parts where the start/plotting is better than the completion. I also like looking at disparate things as a unit, too, that’s really fun.

I did think the Tim Burton remake improved this by at least making her overly competitive but it did bother me that she got the worst saw trap when Veruca was the kid who behaved the worst and got the lightest punishment.

See this? This is anti-Semitic. It's not "anti-Zionist" it's not "pro-Palestinian" it's just straight antisemitism no matter how you try to dress it up.

Reps. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush and AOC have all put out "Biden is the nominee, support him" statements. The left-most part of the Democratic Party fighting to keep him while the right-most part—centrists, swing district Reps, NeverTrumpers, etc.—push for him to drop out was not on many Bingo cards.

if you loved someone's writing and you now find out that their sexual ethics are awful to you... I just want to say that it says nothing about you that you loved their work and nothing about you that you learned from the work. if the work 'changed your life', consider that you did that yourself.

The fact that qualified, capable candidates with normal flaws are having trouble with a gold-plated tin pot dictator and convicted felon is not a reflection on the candidates; it is a reflection on the electorate. White people are outrageously racist. That’s it. A smidge less racism and we’d win.

The founders of Israel were actually thisclose to calling it “Judea,” like the day they declared independence they were still debating it, but because the Arab factions still had control of the Judean hills they called it Israel (or that’s what I read in Sam Aronow’s book, anyway).

FTR I think she just hired him for the job because they had a good interaction and she resented the calls for her to shun him, but the reputation hit was so hard that I can’t imagine any friendship continued.

I don’t think this letter is perfect (should probably have mentioned something about Palestine but maybe there was nothing good to say), but I am impressed at him/his team’s messaging when it comes to quelling Dems’ fears. It reminds me of the letter that Warren supporters got after she dropped out.
