I get the point...but people are cancelled for bullshit reasons all the time. the biggest "cancellations" of the last 10 years have been of Palestinian protestors and ppl who criticized Charlie Kirk.
I think it's important to remember that stuff? 1

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop.
Why would ANYONE think "Yeah, but what if we brought them back?"

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

I'm genuinely shocked by this behavior from the French. They, of all people, should know that you coat in egg BEFORE you dredge in flour. He's never going to fry up properly now.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

"I'm canceled," he says in the sleek profile they gave to him in the New Yorker while his latest special & his new novel is coming out. A lot of people wish they were that canceled.
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

I started grad school in genetics 1992 and the idea of having a safe and effective mRNA vaccine in less than 18 months from the start of a new virus being discovered was the stuff that dreams were made of. We did it.
And a bunch of eugenicist assholes undermined public confidence in it.

The COVID-19 vaccines - both the Novavax and the mRNA vaccines are safe and effective vaccines whose benefits clearly outweigh any risks. They're modern-day miracles. They are a triumph built on decades of research.
And the worst people want to undermine them.

Every bit of this only reinforces Joyce Carol Oates’ absolute roast of Elon Musk as fundamentally lacking in the ability to enjoy anything normally human. “I built a tool that can insult people in a social setting better than anything ever invented” is a real personal tell.
