Hey Y'all,

logging in to make a quick distinction which may be obvious but which I feel like has gotten a little bit muddled:

Regarding Caleb's use of the term "retard"--when I was a kid (in the '80s) "mentally retarded" was, I believe, considered the appropriate term to use in cases in which today people would (for fair reasons, it seems to me) prefer the term "mentally disabled." The latter term seems less loaded, more accurate, and more inclusive of a wide variety of conditions, but I totally understand if some people are not "up-to-date" on that switch in preference. Even among well-intentioned people, change takes time.

However, that change/progress seems to me to be a completely separate issue from cases, such as this one, where "retard(s)" is used to describe a person or group of people who are not mentally disabled at all, and is used in this context as an insult that is offensive both to the intended target and to people with mental disabilities. Regardless of whether or not this is the most currently acceptable term to use in its appropriate context, this seems obviously offensive to me, just as it would be offensive to use the generally totally acceptable term "gay" as an insult (e.g. "that's sooo gay"). Surely we can expect Caleb to know that much, whether or not he is up to date on the latest correct usage. Any school-yard bully knows that the term "retard" used in this way is meant to be rude and hurtful--and even when I was a kid, and "mentally retarded" was still accepted in clinical settings, "retard" was obviously derogatory language. We knew that when we were seven.

Separate topic: IMO Adam may be performing at the AI finale, but I don't think we have any reason so far to think so. Its seems to me to be pretty clear that that AI blog was teasing future appearances in the favorite gif list, if only because there's another Adam-gif from his mentoring appearance that obviously deserves a higher spot in the countdown. I expect this to pop up near #1:

Always happy to see Adam singing on my TV, whatever the reason, but not expecting it this time. I do, however, expect that Shosh's news next week is Adam-related. Dunno why, just a gut feeling!
