I've just noticed that #johnnymercer MP's libel case against the #bbc is scrubbed from #Google results under the EU "right to be forgotten" legislation.
Even though that shouldn't apply to him, as he's a public, political, figure, who was voluntarily on national TV, and he discussed this issue […]

The reason rogue Timelords all go by aliases is because, being able to see through all of time and thus the kiddies are going to be disgraced misfits, their parents all name them after 70s kids TV presenters.

The reality for the other students is that they are no longer enrolled in a psychology class. It is a Psychology plus My Personal Christian Beliefs class.
Every class at OU is now a My Personal Christian Beliefs class.
Every time any student raises such beliefs, instructors have to accept them.

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Kimmel was suspended for offending the president, after coordination between the FCC commissioner and a huge media company.
This thread underscores an important, overlooked part of all this: To get his job back, he's been told he must make a contribution to a Christian nationalist organization.

It’s 3am here but Matt Taibbi has yet again misread a (politicized) doc release to claim it says something it doesn’t. He’s so blinded by a desire to exonerate Russia/be right that he’s become functionally illiterate.
