*describes mild illness*

"I defy you to call this mild!"
I got a stomach bug once that drove my fever so high it fucked up my kidneys and I spent a week in the hospital. I'm sorry you felt like shit, but what you're describing is a mild illness.
We're not talking about how bad it makes you feel. We're talking about "mild" in the sense that there are many things that we don't need to continue doing because of it.
I'll point you back to this thread about the dangers of letting how yucky you feel paint how you look at covid in societal terms:

J.K. Rowling definitely did location scouting for a movie she didn't work on and singlehandedly chose the Australian High Commission building this was filmed in, which has 8 pointed stars that are definitely not Stars of David. Other than that, good Judaisming, bub.
Guy who runs cover for literal jihadists has an apophenia attack trying to uncover secret anti-Semitism in a Chris Columbus movie.
Sorry, it is a six pointed star that J.K. Rowling had nothing to do with. I guess it was an antisemitism after all!

Here's another one.
Wen introduced the term "high quality mask" into her lexicon a week ago on December 20 and has been using it frequently since then. That is also the first time she mentions cloth masks as insufficient. Nothing prior to that.

For once I'd like to see a cancelled leftist decry a pox on their house and their own previous actions instead of bemoaning the fact that they weren't given the benefit of the doubt for their problematic statement because nominally their politics are "correct."
There's no equity in the bank of social justice. You're only as good as your most recent public statement and people in that world accede to outrage authorities instead of deciding for themselves how bad the thing was.
Not to mention an under-discussed aspect of cancel culture: People air personal and professional grievances and jealousy against people under the guise of a social justice pile-on. All your old enemies come out of the woodwork to finally get back at you for their petty reasons.

Lindsay Ellis is literally calling it quits because of that Raya tweet. She has over a million YouTube subscribers and about 9,000 Patrons and her career couldn't survive *one* problematic tweet. That's what operating in that toxic space is like. ImageImageImage
I'd tell her this directly but she blocked me years ago for being critical of her role in doing this type of shit to other people so...

¯¯¯¯\____(ツ)____/¯¯¯¯
Oh here's Lindsay scolding Tom Scott because a woman in one of his videos made "transphobic posts" years ago that she deleted and he didn't know about. But I guess a lot has happened in the world since *checks tweet date* Saturday. Image

Matrix Resurrections breaks the fourth wall in order to give itself a metatextual hand job.
I’m still only halfway through it but have to make another comment: it is using an embarrassingly large amount of footage from the first three and in wholly uncreative ways. It just cuts to scenes from previous movies as they’re being discussed like it’s a clip show.
Oh I’m taking notes.
