A woman climbed into the lion exhibit at the Bronx Zoo and uploaded video to Instagram

“Woman”; shouldn’t that be “gentlelady”? That’s an actual word, ya know.

I have a better reason for not posting it: what purpose does it serve but to invite people to engage in Two Minutes Hate, wishing mauling death on a stranger?

Clicks, obviously.

Certain people will choose to do that on their own, anyway with or without BB; they need no “invitation.”

Yes, because that’s what everyone here who deigned to comment on the foolish behavior in question is doing.

While looking at the writing in that Instagram post is nearly physically painful for me as well, I try to keep in mind that criticisms such as this pretty much always boil down to:

  1. Elaborate tone policing, or

  2. Misunderstanding a subculture I am ignorant of

…and are thus best avoided, in the interest of the rhetorical principle of charity. The alternative is to use precious hours of my life trying to understand my 10yo nephew’s Fortnite memes, and down that road lies only madness.

Ossie Davis plays JFK, to boot. It’s an amazing movie… possibly Coscarelli’s best…
