Adams has been on the nose for a fair while now.

I’m all for freedom of speech and expression. But, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence. You can say what you want, but you need to be aware that not everyone is going to agree.

And you can’t keep crying cancel culture when you act or talk like a prat.

We are dropping the Dilbert comic strip because of creator Scott Adams’ racist rant: Letter from the Editor

this is a decision based on the principles of this news organization and the community we serve. We are not a home for those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide them with financial support.

Tell me a better artist than Kate Bush.

Spoiler alert. If you name anyone other than Kate. You’re wrong.

You will not change my mind.

I signed a contract for this book just the other week. I’ve been working on it for the past two years. Not a single Australian publisher was interested in the story of the first Aussie Hollywood star. And Louise’s life was nothing short of amazing.

I’m not saying it’s game over in America, but a mate of mine in New York just saw Dennis Quaid yelling, “I will come to you! in a phone box.

Jeremy Clarkson is that old racist uncle that turns up every Christmas Day, gets stinking drunk and starts telling stories about the ‘good old days’ when women and migrants knew their place and the commonwealth was an empire. Then he insults your mum, falls asleep in front of the telly and shits himself.
Trouble is, no one quite remembers which side of the family he belongs to, as nobody wants to take ownership of him. So he gets bundled into a cab and sent home, only to resurface at Easter to remind everyone what a great guy he is because he spat at a nun on the way over.

The way men like Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan & the entire LNP treat women are signs of just how much nearly all conservative, relatively powerful men hate, detest & fear women who step outside a narrowly defined submissive role.

We ignore this contempt at our collective peril.

And, yes, I know that The Phantom was originally in the Australian Women’s Mirror, not the weekly. But many still scour the Weekly for it. Clowns.
