Oh good, I wasn’t the only one who got hopelessly confused as to who was who in that mess. I was starting to worry about a possible cognitive issue.
Somehow I missed all that, maybe because my ADHD brain scrambled it all anyway.
And yet you entered the thread with this comment:
Sounds like an assertion of moral superiority to me.
It’s not always a used to be.
Does the observation that there is puritanism and double standards in the US strike you as moral superiority? By whom? Puritanism is a fact. Double standards are not hard to find (e.g., see the US government). You seem not to like this observation. But moral superiority does not come into play here. At least not from my side.
The Puritans came from Europe.

Yes, true. There aren’t any left.
Not exactly sure, ain’t gonna look, cause don’t give a real shit, I think there’s probably no Puritans left here either.
Regardless whatever you’ve heard.
Weirdly, the direct spiritual descendants of the puritans are the Congregationalists. They are currently a very liberal American Church.
Unfortunately true.
But there didn’t use to be a public discussion of how it ought not to be; or any even theoretical process for redress.
I like it, let’s make this a new slang term for sure.
Nah, I think to Coldplay somebody is to expose them for being an adulterer.
Maybe to Coldplay is to make a joke and then learn that the thing you joked about is in fact true.
The other shoe has finally dropped
Has anyone floated the conspiracy theory that this was all orchestrated by the company, on the “no publicity is bad publicity” theory? I mean, there are probably about 10,000 times as many people who know the name Astronomer now than there were a couple of weeks ago.
I wonder what kinds of payouts they got.
TMZ had other footage of them from the back making out. Cabot was recently married to a generationally wealthy (Boston Brahmin Cabot) who owned high end liquor company and was in Asia on business when the incident happened.
After they made it incredibly easy for themselves by being in a public place together.
It’s a small damn world. I ran into someone I knew while on a romantic excursion in Paris 25 years ago. Fortunately it was with my wife.
It was Martin of Coldplay who said they were either shy or having an affair, so I think that’s right.
