Just a Jewish comedian, culturally appropriating the Italian immigrant experience for laughs. Born in 1887, but Twitter is ageist. Opinions are your mom's.
1/More schools are set to ban To Kill a Mockingbird. Why? Aufheben der kultur—I mean, racism. But wait, isn’t TKMB about how racism is bad? Mostly, but it’s complicated. And the woke crowd pushing for this is insane. So let’s break it down. A thread.
A school in Edinburgh is removing “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Of Mice and Men” from its curriculum as part of their “decolonisation” process.

Christopher Nolan cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy instead of my Mom
Because he does not think my Mom is beautiful
For these reasons I will be boycotting the film
@bonhoefferchild And it's mostly the same group who ( rightfully) lambasted progressives for acting like snowflakes for years. And then they go and act like bitches over the casting of a fantastical adventure film.
I'm a lifelong literature nerd who really enjoys Homer. I've even taught him. And being a normal dude, I obviously like Nolan. So naturally, I'm excited about The Odyssey. But boy do I feel bad for all the asshats out there who can't enjoy it because MuH CuLtUrE wAr.
@Ringo19694209@EastonMooreIV@thesandruns But no, seriously, I just think people are getting way too bent out of shape about a movie. And yes, it annoys me when wokies do it as well. Make the next Black Panther Ryan Gosling for all I care.
@Tommy_Nicoletti@TexasJerzyBoy I totally get that those rules are lame, but taking it out on Nolan for trying to win some awards and thereby his bottom line seems really petty to me.
