Here is the scoop on today’s visit to CB
· Daily clickbait articles on Tom Hiddleston are just lame. It is obvious CB is catering to Tom Huddleston’s fans who are the biggest contingent of loyal readers remaining on CB. It is not CB, it is HiddlestonDaily now. I don’t hate Hiddleston, I am neutral on him. But I don’t consider him to be a great actor. He is a good actor, one of hundreds other good actors. Brits are blessed with having so many good actors to pick from. Nevertheless, the conspiracy theories trying to explain why Hiddleston wasn’t nominated for BAFTA were fun to read.
· Janelle Monae is talking about denying sex to men until they show women respect. I don’t know even where to start on this. If someone doesn’t respect you then you shouldn’t even socialize with that person, never mind having sex. But if you think that using sex as a carrot will make anyone respect you more, the truth is very much the opposite. People should respect us for who we are, regardless of whether they get sex or not. To their credit many CB posters did see how wrong this idea is and did speak up. But some instead decided to talk about how nice Monae looks because they didn’t want to openly criticize her. If it was almost anybody else they would’ve torn her to shreds, though. This kind of hypocrisy I cannot respect. Speak your mind and don’t be so partisan.
· So many posters who are still not willing to give up the conspiracy theory that Trump is a Russian agent truly scare me. This kind of willful denial and ignorance is not rational. So many still claim that Trump is a Russian agent because he warned Russians about the strike but not the Congress. Let me put it this way - the Congress doesn’t have missiles that could kill Americans, Russians do. If Russians weren’t warned they could’ve considered the airstrike an attack on them and retaliated. And this is not something anyone wants, including Trump. I am very much in the “pox on both of their houses” camp when it comes to Trump and Clinton. But I have no desire to goad Trump into yet another war we don’t need.
· Kaiser is talking about how Justin Trideau looks so much more princely than William. Harry, of course, gets a pass. First, monarchy is archaic. Both William and Harry should stop playing princes, abdicate and go live normal lives. Neither of them deserves our adoration. As for Trideau, he is a leader of a country. And hopefully he is doing his job well. He is not in his position for his good looks. Or, at least, he shouldn’t be
