As PJ Media's Stephen Kruiser wrote on Thursday, American popular culture is getting choked by wokeness. Social justice warriors have complained about a Friends reboot, Director Todd Phillips quit comedy as liberal scoldings mounted, Disney Plus has a bizarre "not woke" warning before old movies, and Ellie Goulding is threatening not to sing for Dallas Cowboys because LGBT activists can't handle Salvation Army being Christian.

“Is that dude playing the Trans Randy “Macho Man” Savage?”
Randall Mario Poffo (Randy “Macho Man” Savage) died in May, 2011. He had a heart attack while driving and crashed into a tree.
An autopsy found that he had an enlarged heart and advanced coronary artery disease (more than 90% narrowed). The heart attack, not the crash, killed Savage.
Except Islamism/Islamists.
And Scientology.
Good point!
