Things that you know will be shit

I love how they’ve angled it so that you can’t see how thin it is (Amazon says it’s 144 pages).


What would lockdown internet sensation Britney Spears aka Jackie Weaver do? Are you tired of being patronised, talked over and told to READ THE STANDING ORDERS? (Perhaps not that last one.)

For every woman who has endured that I-know-what's-best-for-you tone, this is the book for you. The feminist political icon we didn't know we needed, the indomitable Jackie Weaver shares her own standing orders for life:

· Zoom etiquette (don't be another Julie's iPad)
· Asserting yourself in the workplace
· Making change in your local community
· Dealing with tiresome men who go on and on (and on)

No-nonsense, witty and incisive, Jackie Weaver will show you that you do have the authority here. This is an essential handbook for getting things done without fuss, keeping cool in the face of adversity and pressing mute on the noise.

Imagine opening that on Christmas morning

It really saddens me to see someone like Cleese engaging in this bullshit. "Is it possible to create comedy without causing offence?" What a fucking strawman. What, it's only possible to be funny by being a cunt? Fuck off, disingenuous prick.

And it's all very easy for someone like him to say - middle-class, well-off, white, Cambridge-educated, straight, cis, able-bodied, and tall (not a privilege as such, but it does confer certain subtle advantages in life). Has he even bothered to have a look what people are actually expressing concerns about, or is he just riffing off the alt-right "classical liberals"?

If you’re a famous face claiming you’ve been cancelled, on a main tv channel, you haven’t been cancelled. 

Also, if it's only really people on Twitter who are saying you're cancelled, you haven't been cancelled.

Louis CK is still gigging and doing a comeback tour. People were saying last year how JK Rowling was cancelled after making anti-trans comments but she'll have publishers queueing up to release her next book which will no doubt sell like hot cakes and probably be the biggest selling book of that year that gets remade into movie. Same with Chris Pratt. People were claiming he was cancelled due to his conservative views and how he attends a church ran by two people who are anti-LGBTQ. Very much doubt they'll be cancelling the next Jurassic World or Guardians of The Galaxy sequel because of it.

I'm finding it hard to think of many celebrities who have actually been truly "cancelled" and no longer have a career due to whatever they did. Spacey? ... Barrymore?
