'Cancel culture' is for the birds. Literally...

 
Get ready to say goodbye to a lot of familiar bird names, like Anna's Hummingbird, Gambel's Quail, Lewis's Woodpecker, Bewick's Wren, Bullock's Oriole, and more. This is straight out of the 'You cannot make this shit up' playbook.
That's because the American Ornithological Society has vowed to change the English names of all bird species currently named after people, along with any other bird names deemed 'offensive' or 'exclusionary'.
 

Read this and tell me you don't feel ill afterwards:

  2. You know that if birds were named Pol Pot's Pelican, Malcolm X's Pigeon, Che's Sparrow, Lenin's Swallow, and Mao's Magpie the "Woke" would not change those birds' names.

  7. Not going to play along with snother renaming. First it was Pluto, then Rohippus, brontosaurus, and changing how sulphur is spelled. Sod off, the whole lot of them.

  8. Do they realize that the Latin scientific name of many species contains a Latinized version of a person's name ( usually the discoverer, but not always ) . For example, Diplodocus carnegii .
