you’re not a very good librarian if you don’t understand how access to misinformation is really dangerous. especially with public fucking libraries.

As a librarian in this day and age I’m shocked that you’ve managed to find the exact wrong metaphor to use.

You’re right. We just don’t understand comedy.... what’s your name....

What if they repeatedly cross the same line like a dozen times, each to the same dull effect?

He crossed it a few specials ago. It’s not funny if you have to keep explaining the “joke” years after the fact.

We have the freedom to choose what we read and watch, but we also have the ability to speak out against hate and oppression. People have no obligation to be silent about hate speech. Netflix has no obligation to air hate speech. Nobody has to suffer bigotry in silence.

Technically, the plural goes to the noun, which is most often the unspoken and just assumed “Bricks” or “Sets”. “Lego” itself is an adjective. That’s the gospel according to the Lego company. So the correct plural is not “Legos” as I said, or “Lego” as you said, but “Lego bricks” or “Lego sets”.

I’m pretty sure Black trans women are the most likely to be victims of hate crimes, have the lowest life expectancy of anyone in the LGBTQ community, and bear the brunt of the most hatred in society. The idea that part of humanity that’s Black is diametrically opposed to and oppressed by the part of humanity that’s…

Plenty of his detractors have watched it, and our general takeaway is that it’s a big fat “I had a [minority] friend” capper to justify all the horrible shit leading up to it.

I have respect for him addressing it head on and being honest about it.

His point boils down to “if something doesn’t actively impact me, Dave Chappelle, or the communities and institutions that I am a part of, then it is of lesser concern and is free to be openly mocked or disregarded.” He has no idea what other movements are or are not doing, and he has no idea what other communities do…

When Ronnie Chiang or Jo Koy makes an deprecating joke about us Asians, it’s funny because we know that shit, and they know that shit, they lived that shit same as us. More than many of us, honestly. (Sure as hell more than me.)

nah, these weren’t even jokes. they were just lazy attempts to justify his issues with outrage culture by doubling down on his transphobia. there wasn’t some amazing insight, and this is a netflix special, not some material he was testing.

he didn’t even make any jokes. he just went full transphobic.

Yep. In particular he was the main reason why the first release of Dragon Quest XI had an incredibly shitty midi soundtrack, and not it’s glorious orchestral version (Though they were evidently able to work that out, as the “S” re-release for switch and other consoles included the proper soundtrack). It was a particula…

Considering this incredibly rich man came back from his self-imposed exile by telling us to give Trump a chance because it might be good for his money, before launching into a series of comedy specials in which he routinely doubled down on some dumb and hateful shit against minorities (because he was convinced he was…

Oh Jesus Christ.  As someone who has struggled with gender identity and after this year identity as a woman this is goddamn miserable.  I live in the same state Chappelle calls home and people loooooove him here.  Siding with JK Rowling is a rather quick and easy way to out yourself as an asshole.

People go on about touchy-feely liberal clapter, but it’s always the edgy anti-PC crowd who give these tedious, preachy speeches. It’s the same kind of persecution complex that made late-period Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks so exhausting.

Here’s a pretty good thread that sums up the issue by a trans person who works for Netlfix.

I think garbanzo beans are the most versatile - hummus, soups, Indian dishes, roasted, in salads. Black beans are my favorite - soup, tacos, burrito bowls, etc. Cannellinni beans are awesome in winter soups. Kidney beans are best in salads - like a green bean, tomato and kidney bean salad. Lima beans suffer from kind…
