"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

This is exactly why I don’t let go of the “cancel culture memo”

This man trapped folks in rooms to make them watch him masturbate and they are trying to ask if the show is good enough to make that’s measurable trade
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

I always thought that Ground News stuff was dodgy but this is outright dangerous and just a lie. The survey they're citing refers to young French Muslims asking if *other muslims* should follow Sharia but for some reason they omit that here.

(That reason being they're doing racist engagement bait)

I had to buy this giant Ferrero Rocher in Lidl because I couldn't actually believe it was a thing. I assumed it would be like an Easter egg, with little Ferrero Rocher inside. But no. It is a single, giant, Rocher filled with the hazelnut paste.

Imagine the ambassador's receptions with these!

Been wandering round Liverpool screaming "Jeremy!" and "Zarah!" in the hopes that I'll get an answering call from the venue and finally discover where it is.

love to live in a world where all my personal data is relentlessly harvested so that megacorps can feed it into their all-knowing algorithms and yet somehow the end result is that algorithm going “we think you’d like Clarkson’s Farm”

It's also an example of the underlying problem being the same cruelty that they now think will solve it!

The reason for expensive taxis is that they restricted bus travel to appease the same people!

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
