She's proof that being educated doesn't mean you're intelligent.

I'm not saying she's right or wrong, because he never let her talk. He just made fun of her the whole time mostly cutting her off. But since she demanded he call her doctor right off the bat, she deserved it.

I would have thought it customary to use titles in interviews. But I don't what tv whateverthosearecallednow shows.

Jameela Jamil comes out as "queer".

I genuinely have no idea what that means. Not judging her, don't know her, don't really care. However, this part of the article really got my attention:
This week, Jamil has been addressing backlash surrounding her involvement in "Legendary," an upcoming HBO Max ballroom competition show.
Ballroom culture came out of New York City as black and Latino gay men and trans women created support systems for one another called houses. Houses gather at balls, safe spaces with competitions celebrating skills including fashion, dance and vogue.
"Transparent" and "Pose" actress Trace Lysette criticized the decision to hire someone who was not part of the culture.
Uh...Ballroom dancing isn't yours. It's awesome that you all found something to connect through, but to claim something whose roots go back to lily white Europe before the Americas were even discovered is ridiculous.

Also, how is that not cultural appropriation?

2010 World Series Winners, the San Francisco Giants, tell Aubrey Huff he's not invited because of "offensive tweets".

Here's one of them:
"getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020."
The other:
In January, he posted a since-deleted tweet about kidnapping Iranian women so "we can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes." He later tweeted that his post was a joke.
Uh...There has to be something else going on here, right?

Some small town in England had to pull down flags because they were "offensive".

They raised the flags for International Women's Day, and they simply had the word "Woman" with the dictionary definition.

So hateful...

Saw a commercial the other day for some... drug for men only. Prep anti-AIDS drug? Dunno. But the disclaimer was, "Only works on those assigned male at birth."

Because that needs to be stated.

I would have loved it if they had said "Only works on those assigned male at birth by God."

Yep, this new "woke" Marvel team is real (Make sure you pay attention to the number of likes and dislikes...):
https://youtu.be/5PCWUCv1rnU

To save you time, here's the teenage team:
Screentime - See above
B Negative - just a teenage vampire
Trailblazer - an obese minority with a magical backpack (As YouTube commentor James West says: "Trailblazer is just Dora the Explorer with diabetes.")
Safespace - A "stereotypical jock" who wears a pink outfit and can create forcefields, but only for other people.
Snowflake - A non-binary character who can create individual snowflake shaped shurikens.

The YouTube comments have been gold:
"They have yet to reveal the villain: Heterosexual white man"
-"His special power will be facts that hurt feelings"
-"He also has to be a boomer"
- - "boomer=anyone at least a week older in age that disagrees with their moronity."
-"His name will be "Wright Wing" mark my words"
-"Just had a black friend of mine text me this....”this cant be real. This is like a black guy being dressed in African clothing and being called “Slavery Man””

And how are the comic writers and editors responding to the fans (paying customers) who don't like these "woke" moves?
Gerry Duggan on Twitter to a fan: "eat a bag of pre-fucked dicks"
Heather Antos on Twitter responding to "who has the worst fans": "America". She's also tweeted out: "Fuck Capitalism", which is insanely self unaware.
Gail Simone on Twitter: "The tentpoles that hold up this industry are white, cis, straight, able-bodied and male. It's okay to chip away at that."
Kelly Sue Deconnick in an interview where she was asked about pushing her feminist agenda so hard in her books: "Don't like my politics? Don't buy my books."
Writer Donny Cates called everyone voting dislike on the video above a "hateful bigot", and says "true fans" love it. (What kind of bubble do you live in to make statements like that?)

These same creators are now begging Hollywood to save their industry as sales are in the shitter, the coronavirus is cancelling shipments of product, and stores are closed across the country with many already announcing they will never reopen.

It still amazes me how creatives try to push agendas at all cost, while the business people allow it. What market are they trying to hit? They have to believe it's far, far larger than it really is, right?

4K likes vs 200+K dislikes.

I'm guessing this is going to fail pretty spectacularly.

The bigger issue, however, is that many comic writers are massive SJWs and their constant agenda pushing has really negatively affected the industry in a big way.

It's the managers the money-people will be pissed at.

The managers will blame it on racist/sexist fanbase.

The money-people will say, "Well then why don't you continue marketing to them?"

The managers will claim that they're trying to be more evolved, but really it's because they were never very smart in the first place.

Land O'Lakes changes their packaging.

Do you remember what the old one looked like?

I saw a right leaning site pushing this as a redesign of something "racist" (they used the quotes). I've got to be honest though, I've never once heard anyone call it racist, and in fact, I'd say it was more honoring then not.

Oh yeah. But I don't really remember anyone caring either way. Even with the new one, it's been relatively muted, afaik. Some Native Americans said "we're not mascots, so 'yay' " but their care factor didnt seem very high.

It'll backfire. Now instead of thinking of a kind, benevolent people of gentle butter sellers, I'll think of them as complaining, litigious sensitive babies.

And casino owners who purposely shut out the rest of their tribe.

Scotland repeals their blasphemy law, but replaces it with a new one.
Just as the 1837 blasphemy law prohibited “composing, printing or publishing any blasphemous or seditious libel,” the new bill outlaws “displaying, publishing or distributing” anything that “stirs up hatred,” as well possessing “inflammatory material” or performing a hateful play. The prosecution would not even need to prove “intent” on the part of the accused; it would only need to prove that from their actions, hatred would be “likely to be stirred up.” As for what constitutes “stirring up hatred,” unlike Bracadale, the law is short on specifics, leaving that judgment entirely to the subjective perception of a member of a victim group or some other third party. If a minority finds something to be “abusive, threatening, or insulting,” then it is, under the law. Two minor carve-outs are made for “freedom of expression,” which means it is permissible (within certain parameters) to criticize sexual behaviors, and “freedom of religion,” which means it is permissible to criticize religion. The fact that it was necessary to explicitly state that is okay to criticize religion in a law purporting to repeal the state’s prohibition of blasphemy is almost comical. Strikingly, there is no carve-out for criticizing transgenderism, which is currently the subject of fierce debate in Scotland.
A law where another party gets to decide if you committed a crime or not. What could go wrong?
