"I don't think there are that many people who can actually understand what it's like to have millions of people hate you very loudly...When you say someone is canceled, it's not a TV show. It's a human being. You're sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, Kill yourself."

Do you know what they're saying? They lost me at 'ley lines. ' Mm. Ley lines [leɪ laɪnz] are apparent alignments of landmarks, religious sites, and man-made structures. The pseudo-scientific belief that these apparent lines are not accidental speculates that they are straight navigable paths and have spiritual significance. The phrase was coined in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, who identified apparent alignments of places of geographical and historical interest, such as ancient monuments, ridge-tops and fords. In his books Early British Trackways and The Old Straight Track, he sought to identify prehistoric trackways in the British landscape. Watkins later developed theories that these alignments were created for ease of overland travel by line-of-sight navigation during neolithic times, and had persisted in the landscape over millennia. The writer John Michell revived the term "ley lines" in the 1960s, associating it with spiritual and mystical theories about alignments of land forms, drawing on the Chinese concept of feng shui. He believed that a mystical network of ley lines existed across Britain, a notion actively promoted by The Ley Hunter magazine, edited at the time by his biographer, Paul Screeton.
