My ex was a rather large man and a krav maga instructor. He also trained me and taught me some moves.

I’m a pretty big dude. Back when I was a bouncer, and much more fit, the whole job is basically reading body language and all kinds of stupid primate posturing. When you’re that hyper-cognizant of it, it’s amazing how often you see backward cap bros try and take somebody down a peg for literally no other reason than…

There’s that moment in...Skyfall?? Where Javier Bardem insinuates something sexual and Daniel Craig oozes back “what makes you think you’re my first,” with a confidence that always made me think it was not just acting. Even if he’s straight straight, I have no issue with allies at the gay bar as long as they’re not…

Because they’re blaming them for the leak of internal metrics to the press. They better have evidence that the employee was the one responsible for the leak because firing a Black, pregnant employee is a really, really bad look.

I can't believe the way Netflix is doubling down on this.

Wait, if “maintaining a culture of trust” is so important to Netflix ... how does firing an employee who was speaking up (internally) about something they cared about foster that sense of trust?

One of my all time favorite stand up specials.

Douglas, also on Netflix.

You mean something like: Hannah Gadsby’s OZ, Episode 1: Interrogating the White View of Australian Colonial Art History (no-award.net) ?

The Trump Era has really left certain people with some unearned confidence that they will not be held to account for their vacuous positions. Set aside the need for people at the higher reaches of corporate power hierarchies to actually defend the marginalized rather than doubling-down on the antiquated ravings of…

But at the end of the day... I really don’t want Netflix curating what content I watch and acting as a network censor. I don’t want some suit at Netflix deciding what is or is not offensive.

Netflix already curates the content you watch. They are a business. Disney curates the content you watch, Hulu, HBO. Google curates the content you find. We give up some freedom for easy and cheap.

Wow, get a grip. First of all, she has a docuseries where she frames the history of colonialism through an art history lens. Secondly, I am sure you listen to female white comedians right? You know, descendents of American colonialism resulting in indigenous people genocide? Pathetic take that punches down on someone…

Free speech means the government can’t throw you in jail for talking against the government. Not that people can’t have an opinion about what you said. Not that you can’t be held accountable about the things you have said. No one has prevented Dave Chappelle from saying what he wants to say. His special is still being…

You should try to watch her specials, if you haven’t (I admit they’re on Netflix so that’s kinda complicated at the moment). She is truly excellent, and brings a lot of heart to her humor.

I dont know who she is but she is delightful

Goddamn, Hannah Gadsby is great.

That would be both sad and hilarious.  If it happens and enough people notice, hopefully it would reappear on a competing platform.

Amoral Algorithm Cult is a hell of a phrase and it suits so much big tech perfectly.

I’ll bet you everything Nanette gets removed faster than anything Chapelle has done now.
