Considering he lifted it from Game of Thrones, I think the word you are looking for is plagarism.

Just imagine

For me this is undoubtedly the worst part of cancel culture. That we've now arrived at the situation where comedians are telling other comedians which jokes are and are not acceptable.

It's the same with journalists getting cancelled. Journalists cheering other journalists getting censored rather than standing up for free speech (which is their job!!). Or even when the NY Post got cancelled, there was almost no condemnation from other media outlets, just either openly supporting the big tech decisions to ban or turning the other way in quiet approval. Same goes for doctors and scientists who spoke out against lockdown.

As awful as this behaviour is, it's the complete lack of foresight that they too can also be cancelled. Which is why we saw the pure indignant outrage this week when those journalists got their accounts suspended. What's worse is they still don't seem to get it.

He definitely wanted to "cause hurt" and knew exactly his words will achieve the purpose.

The term is actually a callback

Meanwhile US media is having such a good day by mentioning Mr. Clarkson's links with Amazon.

Mr. Clarkson may have made himself unemployable by Amazon and it's going to cry about CANCEL CULTURE!!!

Of course. Well, it doesn't matter if the reasons for which the American press stands up for other American citizens, regardless of their colour, ethnicity, gender, creed, sexual orientation and everything in between, are purely mercantile or whatever.

If only Jeremy Clarkson had not beaten his crewman and would still run Top Gear. I would be happily watching it, he wouldn't need to write these bullshit commentaries - and you could name and shame someone else.

If only...but well, apparently it's impossible to remain normal these days..

He also lamped Piers Morgan a few years ago, too, so he’s got form. As for naming and shaming; is that even possible for someone writing in a national newspaper? Surely he named and shamed himself..?

A financially orientated opinion piece on possible next steps for Elon and Twitter; note it is laced with some sarcasm, so quite amusing and with some interesting views.

To defend his wife's honour....no less!! So it's fine when he does it. This guy keeps delivering.....

Thanks, ShirleyNot. You've saved me hours of reading this kind of stuff I never had to read or was tempted to read..

They certainly give the impression of being a confused and furious mess of contradictions and old-fashioned hypocrisy. Wailing about cancel culture until someone says something hurty to them or their loved ones. Then it’s all pompously justified. Don’t know why they can’t just be honest with themselves and admit that being shitty to people is just not on.

I'm having one of those nights where I feel like there's so much bullshit in the world that I can't keep up with it anymore.

There should be a proper term for that... or maybe there already is... for feeling overwhelmed by the world's bullshit.

Part 7 of the Twitter Files, goes into further details of FBI interference. Most alarmingly the FBI paying Twitter $3.4 million over the course over a 16 month period.

Aside from the collusion aspect, the cost and resources involved, election meddling etc. the single worst thing imo is a government agency telling the media what they can and can't publish

Funny that there isn't this level of forensic outrage over all the years of Trump and family's criminal activity and business indiscretions, isn't it? All comes across as a bit "selective indignation".

Exactly.

I can only quote Nicola Sturgeon here


I am relieved there were strong reactions coming from politicians over there, hope I'll read more of this stuff. It's sort of reassuring the angry old males won't have their way.

You do know there is a subtle distinction between "asking" and "telling", but probably not. You are unable to point to a single email or document which supports "telling".
You do know this was all during the Trump administration.

No ones safety was impinged upon. It was a bad taste joke, people need to get a grip.

Another consequence of cancel culture, there's no place for comedy.

Not true, as many of your posts show a bit of absurdist comedy, much like the Goon Show, Marx Brothers, Monty Python, or Mr. Show.
