It's only Cancel Culture if it originates in the Cancelle region of France.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling consequences.

Am I the only one who thinks that “Cancel Culture” is being fomented by the right wing to sabotage movement on progressive issues?
Британский парламентарий призывает громить еврейские могилы.

In case you are wondering, “Британский парламентарий призывает громить еврейские могилы,” translates to, “British MP calls for smashing Jewish graves.”
It’s not a statue that he wants destroyed, it’s Karl Marx’s grave stone.

In snark, veritas.
The problem with relying on your gut is that your gut generally produces only puke and shit.

This is Matt Taibbi level snark.
I find this Twitter thread by an Egyptologist on how to pull down an obelisk to be very important, particularly in the case, as she notes, where the “Obelisk might be masquerading as a racist monument.
This is beautiful, man.

I’d say that The Onion has significant competition as “America’s Finest News Source,” but the folks at The Chaser are from Australia.
We now know that the quality of snark is unaffected by the coriolis effect?

This is, of course, a reference to the protests in Minnesota.

We may be short of ventilators, and toilet paper, and common sense, but the strategic sarcasm reserves remain safe.
I mean, if we hand out too many ventilators, people might prefer it to breathing on their own.— Patrick Chovanec (@prchovanec) March 27, 2020
The Washington Post observes that Patrick Chovanec noted this, “Sarcastically,” but given that he, “Previously worked for GOP leaders on Capitol Hill,” I’m not completely sure.
*Of course it’s sarcasm.
My 89 y/o grandmother, who is isolated at home in CT, just told me she reads the replies to my tweets and then investigates the profiles of people who leave rude replies. So don’t be mean to me or my grandma will judge you.— Ben Conarck (@conarck) March 26, 2020
I would note that the whole thread interludes his Grandma’s banana bread recipe.

Now THAT is some world class snark.
Poll Finds Bloomberg Trailing among Young Black Males He’s Already Thrown in Prison
It is really depressing that a parody news site has more journalistic integrity than most of the main stream media.
For those of you who have not seen the baseball movie, see it.
There is a mement were we are shown how it is never acceptable to call the umpire, “C^%$-sucker.”
Today, Elizabeth Warren gave a written question to Chief Justice John Roberts that had him literally questioning his own legitimacy:
During President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) submitted a question about the legitimacy of the Chief Justice—which the Chief Justice had to read.
Chief Justice John Roberts read the note card submitted by the presidential candidate: “At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the Chief Justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the Chief Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution?”
Roberts pursed his lips as he waited for lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff to respond.
(Emphasis mine)
What can I say to the distinguished gentlewoman from the great commonwealth of Massachusetts but, “Well played.”
This is particularly effective because it touches on what is a conceit of Supreme Court justices in general, and John Roberts in particular: Attacks on their legitimacy.
Seriously, the fact that, “John Bolton Likes Tweet Saying Trump Should ‘Fire the Moron Who Hired John Bolton’,” is a remarkable bit of wit from someone best known for being bat-sh%$ insane war monger.
I am amused.
