I still can't believe they almost picked her over Ken Jennings

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

I still can't believe they were the two options. Feels like a US election, only the worst possible candidates are allowed.

[-] djphdk@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Aaron Rodgers was the libertarian candidate for host

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

I actually really liked Ken Jennings as host vivian-shrug

I remember a video she once did claiming she was eating some traditional Israeli cuisine and it was like tabbouleh and hummus

and sometimes people don't understand what cultural appropriation means, so just show them that video

Mmmm....reminds me of when I was having authentic British cuisine like curry and Chai tea.

Theoretically zionism and "feminism" would be compatible for our gatekeeping gaslighting fashy girlbosses, I guess?? Horrific combo.

another reason to hate the big bang theory

Was she the one that was also slightly anti-vax?

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

She also did some victim blaming during the MeToo movement.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Lol a perfect casting for a show about a bunch of misogynistic, bigoted, obnoxious, privileged nerds

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

Wouldn't be surprised if this was egged on by higher ups in israel. States using influential people like sports and tv figures is not exactly an unusual thing. It even comes off as an attempt to get zionism into the "left", which was Israel's strategy up until they radically changed direction to focus on generational age differences instead of left/right differences in the last year or two.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

Highly doubt Americans need any help from Israel to support them

[-] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Damn. Trash opinion held by trash actress from trash show.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

What’s worse is that she’s an actual scientist with a PhD, not some random crunchy Facebook mom. She should know better, but then again, a lot of credentialed people aren’t actually very smart, just good at test taking.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

it's even worse than that. they aren't smart or good at test taking, but they have the support of a partner or family to just keep showing up and covering tuition. because many programs are worried about austerity, they have to keep their matriculation:graduation rates up to attract applicants and not become the focus of The Chop. i have had friends tell me horror stories of being forced to pass literal already-warned-once plagarizing idiots in graduate school by a department chair and the director of the program, because a fail/removal "doesn't look good."

working in The Academy with/for PhDs to meet grant obligations in research and service (while picking up my own graduate degree) absolutely obliterated any default level of respect i used to have for the highly credentialed in the US. some of most uncritical, unthinking, and brain dead fuckers on the planet. it is certainly not all of them, but in my experience credentials and critical thinking skills are not correlated.

when i read about the cultural revolution in china and its reforms of higher education, all i could think was, "i can think of a dozen 'public intellectuals' that need to be publicly humiliated."

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

One of the things I'm looking forward to post-revolution is the restructuring and redesign of all academic institutions. I think its really the only time such a thing could happen since society as it exists now is so codependent on universities to provide credentialed professionals and neither sees anything wrong with the other.

If we ever get that far anyway.

[-] Deadend@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

I’m not going to read it.

But it’s probably some shit about how Israel drafts women to also shoot children.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

she had her own popular, title character TV show when she was a teenager (roughly aged 15-20) on NBC back when being on broadcast TV meant you were on every TV because a lot of people only had NBC, CBS, and ABC. though FOX was definitely a thing in a lot of broadcast markets. she was a dress up trend icon. nobody who receives that kind of attention and cash during those developmental years is gonna be OK without a lot of work. obviously, she steered into the crazy skid.

it would not surprise me at all if she went like Heaven's Gate, track suit, "i am a living god" suicide cult by her 70s.

[-] whatup@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

She also wrote an op-ed in the failing New York Times criticizing me-too.

Wait, seriously? Do you have the link?

If I remember correctly, she implies that sexual abuse is the result of pretty privilege and not, ya know, misogyny and power imbalances and all of that. Basically, she blames Weinstein’s predation on the physical attractiveness of his (known) victims. She then goes on to mourn her own career, which she thinks isn’t as fruitful because her contemporaries are more conventionally attractive. Not saying that Hollywood isn’t superficial, but it’s fucked to use someone else’s rape as an opportunity to whine about petty body insecurities. Also, people who don’t fit the standard are assaulted all the time, it’s just that they don’t come forward because society fucking hates them.
