I have a list of people that I refuse to cover, They Who Must Not Be Named<\/a>.  Basically, these are folks who occupy a significant role in popular culture, but I consider too trivial for me to write about. (Tabloid fodder)<\/p>\n

I have applied this to actors, singers, the entire royal family, and celebrities for no reason at all, such as the the reality show family whose last name resembles an adversary race in later series in the Star Trek franchise.<\/p>\n

My standard statement on this is:<\/p>\n

Absent some sort of political activity, such as endorsements, running for office (PLEASE GOD NO!!<\/b>), or their attempting to assassinate someone, they will not be mentioned here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the first person is coming off the list and it is Britney Spears, of all people, because she is calling for a general strike and a massive reorganization of society<\/a>, which I think qualifies her for removal from the list.<\/p>\n

Also, she is sounding Trotskyite, which means that referencing her will piss off my brother, Stephen, aka Bear who swims:<\/p>\n

Britney Spears has called for us to strike.<\/span>

<\/span>On Instagram, Spears shared a graphic that included the words, \u201cWe will feed each other, redistribute wealth, strike.\u201d Her comment on the graphic \u201cCommunion goes beyond walls \ud83c\udf39\ud83c\udf39\ud83c\udf39\u201d included three roses, the symbol associated with socialist movements in the United States, United Kingdom, and beyond. That, dear reader, is the main thing we needed to tell you.<\/span>
