       Not being forced to act alongside Musk is hardly Cancel Culture.
       Cancel Culture would be if Musk doesn't get to appear on TV
       unless he produces and broadcasts his own shows from scratch
       (including building his own cameras etc.). The point is to make
       it as inconvenient for him as possible. Whereas now there is no
       inconvenience for him: he just shows up and does the show as
       usual!

       Well, true. I would have hoped that the show would have been
       cancelled had the producers listen to the wishes of the regulars
       that appear on the show. I guess we'll have to wait and see....
       Also, it's good to know that there are plenty of people out
       there who disagree with Musk.

       > TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The commission formed to observe the 100th
       anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre announced Friday that it
       had booted Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt from his seat on the panel
       a week after he signed a bill outlawing the teaching of some
       race and racism concepts in public schools.
       >
       > A statement from the commission did not indicate the reason
       for the parting, and a spokeswoman said the commission had no
       further comment. However, commission project manager Phil
       Armstrong this week had sharply criticized the Republican
       governor for signing a bill into law that prohibits the teaching
       of so-called critical race theory in Oklahoma schools.

       coronavirus pandemic and posted a photo on Twitter of him doing
       so with two of his children.[73][74] He later deleted the tweet,
       and his spokesperson said, "the governor will continue to take
       his family out to dinner and to the grocery store without living
       in fear and encourages Oklahomans to do the same."[75] President
       Trump said he did not advocate going out to eat but did not
       criticize Stitt.[76] In the tweet, Stitt wrote, "Eating with my
       kids and all my fellow Oklahomans ... It's packed tonight!" The
       photograph he posted with his kids showed them smiling while
       surrounded by restaurant patrons.[77] On June 20, Stitt attended
       the Trump rally in Tulsa, and was seen without wearing a
       mask.[78] On July 15, Stitt announced that he had tested
       positive for COVID-19.[79] He is the first United States
       governor diagnosed with COVID-19.[80]

       He did not apologize and he is not sorry, as he still has all
       his fingers. Also, he is a racist. If he were not, he would not
       have posted the tweets in the first place. That he can claim to
       not be racist even as he is pretending to apologize is in itself
       testimony to his insincerity. The tweets:

       Note the hashtag on the second tweet is literally "#racist". How
       can he claim to not be racist after posting it?

       Have we reached TikTok?

       > Jewish TikTokers see a rise in antisemitic comments. But
       they're the ones getting banned.
       > ...
       > On TikTok, Jewish creators say speaking about their Judaism
       comes with a price. Comment sections on the content of Jewish
       TikTokers are often filled with antisemitic remarks, stereotypes
       and slurs. Some Jewish creators say they have to think about
       whether they want to disclose their Judaism on the app, knowing
       the harassment they’re likely to be subjected to.
       >
       > But recently some Jewish creators said they feel the app is
       subjecting them to a type of censorship by regularly flagging
       and removing their content. Nearly a half-dozen Jewish creators
       told NBC News that their videos are being banned and removed for
       allegedly violating TikTok’s community guidelines for things
       like hateful behavior, hamstringing their ability to use the
       app. Most of those creators said when they appeal their bans or
       video removals, the app says the punishment was made in error.
       >
       > The types of videos that creators said the app flagged for
       violating its community guidelines include TikToks debunking
       antisemitic comments, a video discussing a news story about
       antisemitic violence, a video of a bat mitzvah held for a cat
       and a repost of a video made by TikTok in honor of the United
       Kingdom’s Holocaust Memorial Day.
       --- End Quote ---
       Because indeed such videos are racist. Denying Jewish racism is
       racist. Putting spin on news stories about anti-racism is
       racist. Anything to do with Judaism is racist. Lying about a
       supposed "Holocaust" is racist.
       --- Quote ---
       > Jewish creators said they sometimes run into problems when
       they reply to antisemitic comments on their pages. TikTok has a
       feature that allows users to create video responses to specific
       comments, and Jewish creators sometimes use this to call out the
       antisemitic remarks and threats on their pages.
       >
       > TikTok’s policy allows users to post counterspeech, but the
       Jewish creators said when they post counterspeech videos
       responding to these comments, they are frequently removed for
       violating community guidelines. In some cases, the original
       offending comment remains up.
       --- End Quote ---
       Because indeed counterspeech to anti-racism is by definition
       racism. And the original comments remain because criticism of
       Jews is anti-racism.
