    He claimed something about blood clots with J&J. 

    He came off like a super douche today. I always felt he was a douche so it’s nice to see others realizing it. He made some points about mandates and masks that I agreed with. But he still misled everyone, and really, the Packers could be in bigger trouble than him for it.

    Related/not related...  its a fascinating take that he makes and that you make and that I agree with.  But there is this underlying issue that... well it drives me crazy and it's been so publicly apparent since the pandemic.

    There are so many rules and laws that I don't agree with.  Marijuana being one of them for all the years I smoked quite illegally before Canada made it legal (Thanks Canada!).   And I would be lying if I said I followed the rules and laws... I do not, did not, have not. But if a cop ever caught me smoking weed years ago when it was illegal and gave me a ticket... I would have no leg to stand on... for a very, very, simple reason:  I must follow the law or suffer the consequences.  

    Masks, vaccines, passports, yeah...  some of them make sense, some don't, all of them are argued...   but they are rules they are laws. What I'm seeing quite disappointedly of late is folks who are so remarkably cavalier with public health rules and then complain about the consequences.  

    In a democratic society, rules are made based often on majority.  Which can suck for the minority. But that doesn't mean you can just do what you want. Get enough people to agree with you to make those changes, sure.  But if not, suck it up buttercup and follow the rules of society.  Can't handle it, don't be amongst society.

    Claiming to "cancel", and  being "woke" about someone like Aaron Rodgers does have one persistent affect- it further pisses off the idiots who side with him and persuade them to dig in their heels further, which in turn puts more people in jeopardy.  Instead of using hipster, trendy terms like "cancel" and "woke", can't we use just good, direct English and say, "I'm sorry, but I'm trying to stay safe and healthy, and people like Aaron Rodgers are a danger to themselves and others and I have no interest in being subject to that kind of reckless behavior."
    Or better yet, just ignore them and stop feeding the hype and they will blow off the screen in no time.

    The Rogers thing has nothing to do with being "woke" or being "cancelled". That's a smokescreen for the real issue, which is that he lied to avoid being vaccinated and now it's caught up with him. Nothing about this relates to being "woke".

    True.  Rogers own comment, "Rodgers himself spoke today and cited that he was in the cross hairs of the 'woke mob cancel culture,' was his of evading the real issue.  I wish the numbskulls would stop putting others at risk!

    He lied because he didn't want to take criticism. He got caught and now he's lashing out because he doesn't like taking criticism. It's easy to win with much of the public if you come out swinging about cancel culture and wokeness. If the Packers win the Super Bowl, he's going to be positively insufferable.

    Sure, I agree that that is his tactic. Still got nothing to do with "wokeness" other than a handy distraction.

    Of course it doesn't.  Most right-wing catch phrases devolve into meaning almost nothing eventually. I see "snowflake" used for anyone that isn't MAGA, now. In the early days it was still lame but did have meaning.

    Most catch-phrases, regardless of who’s spouting them, eventually devolve, get misused, overused, twisted, lost. Which is why I appreciate the English language.

    It bothers me a lot that folks use 'cancel culture' as an excuse to avoid accountability.

    Rodgers may have made it official: the threshold to be considered “cancelled” is receipt of criticism.

    If Big Bird is on twitter, his tweets must be targeted to kids. I don't think 5-year-olds are scrolling through their twitter feeds and coming across it. But I can see a parent sitting with a child in front of a laptop and showing them what Big Bird said today, which would probably be fun for kids.

    Cancelling Big Bird?  Are these people sick? Redundant question.  Of course they are!  But how do they become this twisted?  Sounds awfully qr to me.
    Let's show some support and sing along with Big Bird!

    "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,
    Starts out like an a-word, as anyone can see,
    But somewhere in the middle,
    It gets awfully qr to me.
    oh abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz...
