The pretty simple fact of the matter is that Weinstein was the only true “casualty” of MeToo in Hollywood, and that is solely because he was a bully to men too and everyone pounced on the excuse to oust him. If he’d nicer to directors and male stars he’d still be free and working.
I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Last month, @theguardian.com framed this historical event project the same way; minimizing the years of archival work, the interviews etc it took to be able to do this.
Instead ‘AI solved this historical problem!’

I’m not sure why AI is so prominent in this article since a historian did the lion’s share of the archival digging and AI simply verified what experts already confirmed.

“Cancellation limbo”: when you’re definitely not cancelled but not as celebrated as you used to be. This is one reason why “cancel culture” discourse is so tiresome: a lot of people are using it to mean “my life was affected in some negative way by my actions”

there's a certain type of parent that's so obsessed with "discipline" that they'll piss literally everyone off to maintain it. and then blame that on the child.

monosexuals stop trying to paint yourselves as authorities of the bisexual experience i do not care if you used to think you were bisexual, you are not and so you need to actually listen to bisexuals instead of acting like you know more about bisexuality than we do.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Even with an intact CDC and FDA, only like 1% of foodbourne outbreaks were ever identified. 1 out of 6 Americans get a foodbourne illness each year, with no identifiable cause.
Now? All but the very largest, most severe outbreaks will be just like that.

Fun fact: the vast vast majority of foodbourne illness in the US is not part of an outbreak, defined as 2+ people getting sick from a common food source, but a sporadic and isolated thing.
Only about 1% of outbreaks are ever actually identified as such.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.
If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

I feel like this was also the western perception of Hinduism prior to the rise of the Modi/BJP regime. Fact is, there isn't a religion/culture in the world that hasn't been violent and bloodthirsty when in a position of majoritarian power.
Maybe the “rise of” framing doesn’t help Westerners accept that religiosity, extremism, and violence are all essential parts of Buddhist history. Trouble accepting this always indicates Buddhism is an empty plaything for some people’s projection, not a multifaceted tradition.
