If I could sit in a room with Josh D'Amaro I'd tell him to rebrand California Adventure into "Worlds of Animation" - the park already has Pixar Pier and Radiator Springs and the rest could be rethemed pretty easily.

At any rate, it's definitely not a California themed park anymore anyway.

Youtube has rebranded vacations into bad MrBeast challenges, like "I ate NOTHING but Disney World Food for a week" or "I survive a week in Madrid." Bitch, you're just going on vacation, and that's okay. But making it sound like torture when the rest of us can't afford it kinda just sucks.

When I got diagnosed with OCD I was like "I guessssss that makes sense?"

... I set all my alarms a minute early (7:59, 8:29, etc) because otherwise I WILL be a minute late and the universe will cease to exist.

I'm definitely outraged by the Republicans but also it feels like wasted time to point out that what they're doing is bad. Republicans don't care and anyone on the left already knows it's bad.

I'm more focused on action. And the democratic party is pretty objectively a bad opposition party.

Ohhhh, so you can say things that explicitly harm people so long as you articulate that it's an opinion!

I think we at least generally agree, on a political basic. Except I just don't believe democrats really tried at all. Especially on trans protection, when we see so many turning their backs on trans people right now.

Huh? Obviously Republicans are disastrous for trans people. But they've also never made any promises to protect trans people, obviously.

Democrats, on the other hand, have made that promise, and failed to live up to it. They said they'd protect trans people, and they didn't. They failed.

I wish we had more "steal the moon" sorts of evil and less "genocide, concentration camps, and wars" sorts of evils.

Right, I know he didn't intent to say it, but I have no clue if he actually knows the cultural context of the word at all. That's what bothered me about his statement. Apologies aren't a confession of intent, nor is it something he'd have to do in perpetuity. We just need to to address the harm.

Kinda feels like the world is over nowadays and we're just living in dust.

But maybe that's okay. At least dust is something. At least I'm still alive.

I'm not going to ignore two black men getting called the n-word on national broadcast television when even the broadcast could have censored it.

That's not remotely what I said though. It's specifically the n-word, and the cultural context that comes from it.

John's statement acknowledges the lack of intent, but not the harm, and that's problematic! Two black people still got called the n-word on TV, that's not just something we can ignore.

26.02.2026 17:41 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

John's statement was focused on articulating his lack of intent rather than acknowledging the harm. He didn't acknowledge how the presenters must have felt as a result of the comment. While I sympathize with the frustration he must experience, I think in this case, we need to recognize the harm.

I'm not saying he should apologize for having tourettes.

An apology is not a confession of intent, it is a recognition that harm has been caused. And in this specific case, the harm of the n-word is not theoretical.

So, if John recognizes that the n-word is harmful, an apology seems appropriate.

Totally, censoring "free Palestine" but not the n-word is an appalling move, and I'm shocked that the BBC has done nothing to try to reconcile any of this.

Because I also don't want the burden placed one the black people that just have to take this so in stride without an apology.

It's not presumptuous to say that the n-word is harmful.

We're aligned in wanting better education about neurological conditions. I'm not demanding an apology over existence, but we have to acknowledge the harm, though unintentional, that was caused by the tic.

There's no answer, but I think this sort of response minimizes how harmful the n-word specifically is. Like, I promise it's more painful for a black man to hear the n-word than for a white guy to say it, even if he was "mortified" that he did. White people just act like it's not actually harmful.

The people saying "I stand with John Davidson" wouldn't be saying shit if he hadn't said the n-word and will I sympathize with his tourettes I feel like we're completely ignoring that fact.

I know it wasn't intentional, but man, you gotta apologize over harm, not intent.

Trans people in Kansas being told they cannot drive because of their GENDER MARKER is such dystopian shit.

Democrats have completely failed trans people and we all have to live with the consequences now.

2. The letter, which has been reported to Erin In The Morning by a Kansas-based activist, states that under House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, Kansas trans people must immediately surrender their licenses.

It doesn’t matter if he has Tourette’s, and those excusing this are indicating they’re okay with having this slur used. The BAFTA’s also clearly found it more offensive for a Black man to say Free Palestine editing that out than for a white man with Tourette’s to use the n-word towards 2 Black men.

Obviously any black person getting called the n-word on television deserves an apology from someone, and it's a shame that grace was requested for the outburst, but no apology was given.

"She rammed us."

> Video: She did not.

"We were boxed in."

> Video: They were not.

"We shot her five times."

> Video: She lived.

Imagined being so threatened by someone who didn't even have a weapon that you open fire, then also having aim so bad that she fucking lived.
