Oh man, there's no shortage of craziness happening on the American landscape right now. I'll turn on the TV every day or check out the newspaper, and there is something to find humor in or something to find absolute fear in. Either way, it makes for good comedy.
I'm sick and tired of only being asked about everything that Donald Trump says or does.
Trigger warnings are an instantiation of the West's zeitgeist of perpetual offense and victimhood that defines much of public discourse.
It's so easy to trigger everyone these days, especially if you mention President Donald Trump.
There’s no point in having an online mob if you can’t give it someone to trample.
At the drop of a hat, people have begun to take offence. You can't write, paint, make films without worrying about some faction or other whose 'sentiments' will be hurt!
When I did the cover of 'Cosmo International,' Turkey picked it up and I got a lot of backlash for it.
When contrarian voices are elevated to publications once viewed as places where contending ideas shared space, organized online backlash is now inevitable.
To my friends on the right, Katie Hill's national shaming is as much an example of an out of control cancel culture as anything that we've seen.
It kills me to hear Donald Trump talking.
Negative social media can ruin a player. Reading your mentions? It's poison.
Almost every week, there are stories in the press or on Chinese social media about what even the official Chinese media call 'hot online topics:' stories about how people in a particular village or town used Weibo to expose malfeasance by local or regional authorities.
There is Twitter outrage at everything. Be it a pair of trousers or a short skirt, somebody, somewhere, will not like it.
Everybody's got a bully pulpit now, and everybody's mad. I don't blame people for being angry and frustrated about everything. I'm old, but I'm not pulling my pants up to my tits. I take deep breaths of air when I enter a room and celebrate the fact that I'm alive.
All we need to remember is that Trump loves the hate. He thrives on criticism and insults. He delights in chaos and confusion. Taking to Twitter to call him names only fuels him and riles his base.
There's a lot of anger in the Twitter-verse, as I've discovered. But there's a lot of love.
I check Trump every time he says something crazy. I told him to stop calling Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas.'
If on social media there is rampant offense over Donald Trump saying "We got some bad hombres out there," then Trump becomes a reprobate again, a sexist, a bigot, a misogynist, all of these things, 'cause we got some bad hombres out there.
Donald Trump may occasionally say things that are controversial or even objectionable to some, but those are words.
Of course ABC and its parent company Disney were right to cancel the sitcom 'Roseanne' after its eponymous star, Roseanne Barr, wrote a racist tweet.
But there is a process that happens when you're making something, be it a musical or a new play. That process takes time, and mistakes will be made along the way, and you will go down and hit dead ends. But it is so public now. Any yahoo with a computer can start a firestorm.
I don't care whether I am politically correct or not when I tweet.
This unthinking assumption of moral virtue on the Left is frustrating. I saw someone on Facebook talking about capitalist scum, he was angry and thought it was OK because his anger was righteous.
What people don't realize about Donald Trump - and I don't even know if Donald Trump realizes it - is that every tweet he unleashes against you... creates such a crescendo of anger.
Twitter is now an anger video game for many users. It is the only platform on which people feel free to say things they'd never say to someone's face.
