"Choice" was an especially frustrating one after Covid. Decades of "my body, my choice" which seemed a universal truth (save for those people who lack a body, I suppose ... ghosts?) which suddenly turned into a feminist-exclusive slogan. Anybody who claimed "my body, my choice" to deny the jab was called a misogynist or a fool for invoking a slogan which had suddenly became something which only applied to a woman's right to abortion and could not be transferred to any other cause.
I don't mean to quibble (no, I do) but I'm pretty sure it's "worst Memorial Day opening weekend in 3 decade*" because in 2020 the theaters were closed. Looking up Box Office Mojo, grosses were around $2 million. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/holiday/us_memorialday_weekend/2020/ I bring this up because I noticed that in Doomcock's video he makes the mistake of reading between the lines and insists that this 3 decades figure is including 2020, which I'm pretty sure it isn't. Just more shit reporting from "journalists."

It’s like how everyone said that all the media companies would pull their content from places like Netflix and Hulu so they could create their own streaming services, and they’d all lose money doing so. And then they all did exactly that and are struggling to turn a profit. Modern society is all about ignoring the warning signs.
I didn’t really have any expectations. Mostly about food regulations and culture changing to allow for the abundance of high fructose corn syrup and ever-increasing portions. Then it gets into a lot of detail about what Type 2 diabetes is.
Okay. I hope his last thoughts were "maybe I shouldn't have tackled the guy keeping everyone safe." It's a perfectly karmic death.
