In this particular case. No way.Hmm
I mean that's nice and all, and I loved Omar, but isn't anyone else a little sickened by this kind of backslapping?

That came across as a very honest and sincere appraisal of his work though by one of his peers. I don’t think people praise each other enough, everyone’s quick to shoot you down but not to come out and say in any deep way: “This person put the work in, this person was a pleasure to work with, and this person did something significant”. Especially for people of colour, women, and other communities that aren’t the old boys’ club.Hmm

The is the exact opposite of my experience of working with Americans. When someone is leaving there are big long email threads where people praise them in ridiculously glowing terms, and say how they've changed the world for the better. We have a slack channel specifically for saying how great your workmates are.I don’t think people praise each other enough, everyone’s quick to shoot you down
Yeah when it's for known cunts (Bowie for examples) but MKW seemed like a sound chap and I get the sense the tributes are heartfeltHmm

My two biggest gut reactions to celebrity deaths have been Michael K Williams and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Maybe it's because of the roles they took and the general good vibes they projected.Yeah when it's for known cunts (Bowie for examples) but MKW seemed like a sound chap and I get the sense the tributes are heartfelt

thishe had the time when people thought he was a fascist, and he rode a load of possibly-underage groupies
Does anyone honestly think that Bowie was an actual fascist?the fascism thing is interesting. best summary of why people thought he was a fascist is probably here

I'm not sure they honestly think nurses are fascists. I suspect that kind of declaration is just in-group signallingPeople think nurses are fascists.

I think the "he rode a load of absolutely known at the time, being underage was the point groupies" is usually what people bring up, yes.
