I'm trying hard to let it go, but the inability of the joyless and humorless to comprehend a (not all that funny.. but still) tweet by a satirical news organization last night has me seriously concerned that the world is broken.
The most insidious threat to free speech isn't government censorship (although it is bad and getting worse). Instead, it's our own susceptibility to the hypersensitivity programmed into us by the brand-conscious marketers who run most of our media. Eventually we do their dirty work for them and shout each other down to the point where the only acceptable things for any of us to talk about are the movies we want to see and the products we enjoy.
So good job enabling that, thought police. You win this one.
