Treat people saying they were canceled the way you would treat someone saying they got abducted by aliens or ghosts.
“There was a bright light and then a group of Wokes took me on board a carbon neutral ship and they canceled me… in the butt.”
“Scully I’m telling you these people are being canceled, just because you see them still in the public eye making millions of dollars doesn’t mean anything. They were cancelled by the Wokes and the government is covering it up”
“Mulder how can they be canceled when Louis CK is still getting gigs? Mel Gibson’s gonna be in a movie, I’m just saying the evidence of cancellation just isn’t there.”
“The cancellations go back to the 50s. First they cancelled the Klan, then black face and Aunt Jemima. But nobody wants to talk about it…”

The best advice I can ever offer Democrats is to pretend like they’re Republicans in how they promote their own policies and attack the opposition, because otherwise the party insists on not getting it
Imagine if the gop passed the child tax credit how they’d never shut up about it. Imagine if Democrats kept passing laws about inspecting kids genitals how Republicans would never shut up about it. None of this is hard it’s just that Democrats won’t do it.
If Democrats attacked the Capitol, Republicans would wrap themselves in the flag and talk about it incessantly like they did 9/11. Democrats simply haven’t done that and frankly they went to Republicans for help in investigating a right wing attack! That’s loopy as hell.

Instead of attacking the right on things they support (child genital inspections), democratic leaders have spent the last year whining about the left and this (while not coming up with any kind of marketing alternative)
If they lose the House I expect infinite amounts of BeCAUSE the LEfT SaiD “DefuND tHE pOlICE” and they won’t bother to examine the root problems here (no media infrastructure, no message discipline, not passing what they said they would)
I see people on here prepping to blame “the left” when it has repeatedly been “the left” pushing the party to adopt extremely popular stuff to run on for reelection. And yet.

In Jamaica we have a saying: "have to take bad things make laugh." And me being described this way in the Gleaner, which is the biggest paper in Jamaica, is surreal -- cause I never use my real first name for things. Image
Also they called Dad a "genius guitar player." I know it's true but to me I'm just like "he was mostly my weird quiet dad though," lol
I always liked this pic of Dad cause it shows him just lost in playing his guitar Image

Thread here with Dad's biggest professional achievements.
Dad spent most of his day every day in the studio he built in his house, making music. I'll never know anyone who loved music as much as him. Seems obvious now but it didn't hit me till recently were both writers, it's just that he did it w music and I can't carry a tune. ImageImageImage
Dad was proud of his work and had the proof from both the public and his peers that he was good at it. But he didn't want fame. He even made an album entitled "Man in the Shadows," which he said was who he is -- was. ImageImageImageImage

He was just an ordinary conservative, reading his Bible and his Ronald Reagan devotional, when the woke mob broke into his gated community. "Up against the wall!" Yelled the nonbinary crowd. From across the highway he heard screams. The Latinx Lesbians had struck.
Soon chants rose from all the buildings around him. "White guilt, white guilt," they screamed as copies of the 1619 Project were jammed into their ears.

A trumpet sounded, signifying the beginning of yet another MAGA hat bonfire.

Everything was dying. The Wokening was nigh.
Henry turned on his TV expecting to see Tucker Carlson, but the signal had been hijacked. Instead the Wokeristas were forcing every household to watch Maddow and Fauci discuss gender reassignment and climate science. All non-woke materials had been banished. Fox was a crater.

For the last two years I’ve been mostly watching movies and tv shows I haven’t seen cause there’s SO MANY things I haven’t seen and it’s piling up. But I feel like I may bust soon and just rewatch Superman 1+2, Back to the Future, Lion King, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park etc
It’s like I’ve been on a pop culture diet and now I’m about to binge ice cream and Doritos
Some of the things I had never seen that lived up to the hype: Gandhi, Goodfellas

What didn’t: Halloween, Amadeus, Chariots of Fire
