Bill Cosby, once admired by the public like O.J. Simpson and Phil Spector, has now embarked on a new career as a prison inmate.  He was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in a state prison today.

What a fucked up world we live in.  Orwell wouldn't be too surprised:

JM: What is your view on compelled speech, for example, the notion that one must use “preferred pronouns” and must call males “women” if they identify as such?

VA: It is frightening. Recently, Pink News projected the message, “Repeat after us: Trans women are women” onto several famous London landmarks, including the Ministry of Justice building. I asked a mate to modify an image of the projection to say, “Repeat after us: Transwomen are men,” and posted it on the We Need to Talk Facebook page. I got a 30 day ban for that, which I actually find unbelievable. To say “transwomen are women” is hate speech against women. Projecting these words near my home makes me feel unsafe, yet posting a jokey meme gets me banned. It really does feel like it’s getting worse. A few months ago we could say that an adult human male is a man on social media and now we can’t. I don’t really know how to campaign on that. It’s really, really concerning.
