She did a tremendous job of calling them Nazis without calling them Nazis

@mikethesnow Someone once asked Judith Kerr if her book was a metaphor for the Nazis or for adultery.
"No, it's about a hungry tiger who came to tea."

@antipodean What they hate about The Tiger Who Came To Tea is that it's fun, it's laugh.
What Puritanism, Islamism and Woke all have in common is that they can't stand other people having fun.

New term for women just dropped. This one inspired by Andrew Dice Clay?
I can honestly say I have never, ever, been guilty of neglecting the anatomy and physiology of bodies with vaginas - when given any opportunity.
-
In the past, daring to refer to a woman as a "body with a vagina" would have got you labelled a chauvinistic sex pest
Good to see we have moved on from that
I'm off to call my wife that and see how it goes

Surprisingly, she does not like it.
She is so bigoted sometimes

so, the Rolling Stones will no longer play "Brown Sugar" live.
we've effectively reached a point where we are so fucking dumb, that unless a piece of art says explicitly "this bad thing is bad" or "this other thing is actually good" in very basic words, then it is instantly assumed to be glorifying/denigrating said thing.
Dave Chappelle and Netflix are currently working their way through this (actually Netflix are, Dave doesn't give a fuck) because, again, he did not use small, simple enough words.

I’m amazed people would go and watch the Rolling Stones play anything live given how past their use by date they are.

Absolutely right. They’re idiots. But if I’m fair and honest, if Bill Shatner or Marlon Brando (up there in heaven) were fat 80s and selling tickets for a hundred bucks to watch them fart in a bag, I’d do it. I say this as somebody who paid to see the Sex Pistols on their 2nd-comeback tour (it only cost $10, God love them) and Miles Davis ($150) on his last tour, very ancient people and pale shadows of their former artiste selves, and I don’t regret a dime, they were amazing and made me feel good about seeing them. That makes me an idiot. A stupid grinning idiot.
Adding, I was dragged to a Stones concert circa 1990, free ticket, limo ride, champagne, all gratis. And I really didn’t want to go. I’d seen them 8 times prior, over decades, and the last couple decades made me grimace, so I didn’t want to go. But shit, it’s all comped, I’ll go. So my expectations were low, in the toilet. Then they busted out “Bitch” as their opener and my head exploded, it was fuckin’amazing, one of the best openers of any concert I ever attended. But that was it. The rest of the show was the standards, and robotic at that, a dud, big disappointment. But that opener was so strong, the show might have been worth it, just for one song. Sometimes that’s all you can ask for in life. That was the last time I saw them. And I really do miss Charlie.
