El oh motherf*cking el.
"[English Department head Helen] Smith wrote a letter of apology saying that while the term was part of a quotation and was not used 'offensively', she recognised that reading it out had caused 'considerable distress'.
'I am extremely sorry that this happened, and I have written to all staff in the department to make it clear that they should not pronounce racial slurs as part of their teaching and that if those words appear in texts or on PowerPoint slides, they should be prefaced with an appropriate content warning,' she wrote."
Not only does this slap down any notion that leftists aren't the biggest snowflakes on the planet, we then have this gem:
"A follow-up e-mail to lecturers "asked them to refrain from saying the word, written throughout the email as 'n*gro'."
😆

Good golly gosh, this is stupid.
Can we cancel "cancel culture", yet? It's offensive.
Can 4chan do a thing where they pretend being offended by race stuff is actually the new white supremacist thing? Like the OK hand symbol hoax but for all of the politically correct stuff related to sexism and racism.
Actually my point is that when it comes to crimes the media is eager to announce the perpetrators race in headlines if it's a white male, but not if it's a minority. Unless it's a mexican guy who can pass for white like George Zimmermann.
Do I think it's done to protect black people? No it's more just done cuz of racism. Doing it to protect blacks would imply they care about blacks.

What if her children were the products of cheating and the husband found out and he was going to divorce her? A mother committing murder suicide has happened in these situations, before (and for thousands of years: "bastard children, divorced, disgraced."😉
I wish I had more info. Shame two young kids were murdered - they were innocent and didn't deserve that.
I did find out that she was an Ivy League graduate (Brown) and she was a director of PR and Community outreach (in Boston, that's a $150k-$250k a year job with bonuses and stock options). Husband still exists. We need to know what happened.
In other news, that Mormon-Cartel massacre has an update: police chief arrested related to the murders:

That's probably why some states pass "whoever reared them is on the hook, DNA be damned" laws

GLAAD Tried To Force JK Rowling To Apologize For ‘Transphobic’ Comments. She Refused.She refused to show up for indoctrination. How dare she.
I mean, what can they really do to her? Ruin her career?
Too late for that, she's already made her fortune and sold her wares.
Slander her reputation? What does a rich retire care what anyone thinks of her?

Well, usually PC activism runs on the whole #cancelculture thing. They try and silence people by getting them fired or ruining their careers.
Like with Mel Gibson, people were incensed he wasn't run out of Hollywood for his (admittedly batshit insane) comments. Robert Downy Jr. defending them as drunken comments deserving of forgiveness only added fuel to the fire. They made it clear they wanted him RUINED.
So again, not exactly something you can do to someone who doesn't even have a career anymore. No one will fire J.K., because she isn't working for anybody, nor does she have plans to make any more Harry Potter novels.
She's living the dream, retired before 40.
Do you want something REALLY triggering?
Try starting an argument on an online forum like Quora or Reddit with a rhetorical statement like "Literally NO ONE does this!"
Watch all the anal statistics nerds run in claiming billions of people aren't even online, and thus your statement can not be correct.
Because accuracy.
This belongs here too, these people are triggered something fierce. Especially look at the story in the last pic lol.

We also have people triggered Rey didn't "stand up to her abuser".Some people are actually traumatized by this film and it's not being said in a joking way, note especially the tweet on the top left:
Then we have this:
And this:
Lol wtf these people are lunatics. One said they were "sobbing from hatred". Damn, "hate crying" is a new one for me.
The Prime Minister talks about cricket and tourism.
As for the Washington Post, they exploit the disaster to harp about climate change.
I love the smell of psychopaths in the morning.
Yes, let's focus on what matters when disaster hits. Political opportunism, apparently.
Colin Kaepernick attacks America for racist 'terrorist attacks' over Soleimani airstrike
Goes to show he lied when he said he wasn't protesting America by kneeling.

He'll have a fine career as a pundit.
The man knows what side his bread is buttered on, and this is him going full anti-Jordan Peterson.
Holy shit Ricky Gervais was spot on with his Golden Globes monologue. Spot f*cking on. Called out celebs, told people nobody cares about their opinions. Called out the hypocrisy of working for companies with sweatshops like Apple, etc.
And this line:
“Our next presenter starred in Netflix’s Bird Box, a movie where people survive by acting like they don’t see a thing – sort of like working for Harvey Weinstein.”
Savage.
