Alekwithak SLAMS Headline for Use of "Slams!"
Love Pedro Pascal, great ally
But journalists need to stop using slam for this, he called her out on her bullshit. Just call it like it fucking is. With the way shitty journalists use slam it has lost any and all meaning
I just SLAMMED my palm into my face over this bad journalism. But keep being awesome Pedro.
The post he responded to came from Tariq Ra’ouf, who shared a video about the situation. Ra’ouf said Rowling’s support of the ruling was “that awful disgusting s–t, that has consequences.” Pascal agreed, repeating, “Awful disgusting S–T is exactly right,” and added, “Heinous LOSER behavior.”
Is it just me or did this outlet censor the word to make it look like "slut"
Could be shit, or the portmanteau slunt
honestly first good use of "slams" in a headline
