It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.
That means this batch includes people who were in captivity for literally four years.
They're both people who had A Moment in their field and are now making up shit to explain why they're not the most important voices anymore.
I think it's helpful to read Uta Frith's comments on autism and overdiagnosis the same way we're all reading Billy Corgan's comments on the CIA killing rock music.

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Generally I think that Bowie's reputation for massive changes in style is overblown, and rather than constantly changing he had three or four modes he switched between. But Young Americans is one of the times he discovers a new mode.
Second day of me going through my vinyl: The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields (cond. Neville Mariner), The World of the Academy.
I don't have much classical vinyl but do have the odd bit. This is an album of chamber music I've had about thirty-five years.
Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.
Also Star Trek: “Remember when Dr. Crusher shagged a sex ghost who lived in her grandmother's candle?"
full offence to everyone who thinks otherwise but this is a pretty good illustration of how americans have become fully insulated from the consequences of their government's actions. if something bad actually, god forbid, happens in the US a la 9/11, they will lose their minds and go feral
i just pictured slapping this person across the face. couldn't help it
has anyone sent their kid to school for world book day as the Schleswig-Holstein question, or
Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.
Also Star Trek: “If you just make your ship go fast enough, you’ll turn into a lizard.”
Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.
Also Star Trek: “Remember when we all got downloaded into the holosuite server and became characters in Bashir’s James Bond LARP?”
Basically. I wondered a little about the absence of "Rumble" in the main podcast, but I could see at the time why it may not have fit the main podcast...and sure enough it was in the bonus episodes.
And even if you chose not to cover it, big deal. Plenty of ink has been spilled about it.
Some lil hints about what The Daily Tism audio sitcom is going to sound like:
#1 It’s a co-production with @andrewhickey.500songs.com
Very sad news. Also produced pretty much every British blues album of the sixties, including all of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac albums and the Bluesbreakers Beano album.
Holy shit. Poland? Poland is breaking with the Americans on this????
yeah you coukd also just ban this shit
Here's a thing right, House to Astonish has been running now for seventeen and a bit years, and we changed hosts after the first few years, so I don't know exactly how many downloads we got when we were with podomatic, but we're pretty flippin close to a big round number of downloads
The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic
If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.
Definitely the CIA. Definitely not that a music that initially defined itself by youthful rebellion is now seventy years old and the favoured choice of the establishment. No, it's the CIA.
Lol why does the movie Cannibal Ferox open with an upbeat jazz intro?
Like an 80s cop action comedy.
Yes, the lack of self awareness and entitlement is infuriating.
Fortunately, disco won the long term struggle for cultural relevance. It's striking how it collapsed and then a few years later the 80s is full of music influenced by it.
LMAO! One, you fell off. Two, you were absolute **** to minorities. Three, Mexicans are holding rock music down for you and you are STILL ungrateful.
* but jazz's musical innovations and possibilities given a second life via bebop and its various postwar offshoots.
Funny, I thought that rock music simply hit the same problem that jazz did after the 1940s: it had mostly exhausted its possibilities as a popular music style* and was superceded by another genre that was more exciting.
Nope. Turns out that it was a CIA conspiracy, or something.
The AUDACITY to see what they did to disco in the name of rock and claim that rock was intentionally marginalized. I genuinely hate y'all. Ties were severed and it damn sure wasn't white rock artists who suffered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZGi...
NEW: The *Independent* Autism Coordinating Committee will hold its first meeting on March 19 — the same day that the newly-reformed federal body, the *Interagency* Autism Coordinating Committee, will meet.
