“I like to masturbate. And I don’t like to be alone.”

Did you see Eddie Murphy’s Raw? The bit about how Bill Cosby called him to complain about the profanity in his act?

People I know were in front of his show in San Jose protesting. Michelle Dauber, a friend and the woman who spearheaded the successful Persky recall last year over the Brock Turner rape case organized it.

Whoa, there are certainly some peculiarly unfunny and thirsty trolls commenting on this one, huh?

In an attempt to one-up his detractors while creating a narrative through-line for a career spent telling dick jokes, CK asserted “The whole point of comedy is to say things that you shouldn’t say. That’s the entire point.”

It’s the men, of course, and often enough the white men, who are more likely to be crowned Kings of Woke, and granted TV shows and movies and well-paid comedy specials. There’s good money to be made in pretending to be a decent person, if you know how to leverage it. But how are we supposed to react, and to think, if…

Yeah, that stuck out like a sore thumb. He’s obviously trying to set up something by defining comedy this way, but of course that isn’t the point of comedy.

Those are the comedians who punctuate every low hanging fruit joke with the c word or the n word as a means to be edgy. It’s all a thrill to teens who want to be rebellious, but those kids either grow out of it and have decent lives, or grow further into it and become Richard Spencer types.

I thought this very same thing. If a comedian’s whole persona is based upon being an asshole and trying to shock it always strikes me as showing a severe lack of creativity. Anyone can be an asshole who doesn’t give a shit about anything. It’s easy. It’s aiming at the lowest hanging fruit on the tree all the time.…

That’s the thing about all these conversations about whether or not we should accept back these fuckers after some nebulous period of “time out” from public life - it presupposes that there’s no one else with sufficiently good (or better!) talent that we could direct our attention to. It all focuses on the tragic loss…

CK asserted “The whole point of comedy is to say things that you shouldn’t say. That’s the entire point.”

Wow thank you!!

They were discontinued, probably for similar health concerns.

As a scientist? I really have to hand it to you that you went on this deep-dive into this topic. This is pretty much what I’d have expected, if a journalist tried to find an answer to a controversial scientific question, and yet you didn’t try to streamline all this insanity or cut it down. You let it be long and…

Having watched someone pass away from multiple organ failure due to T.S.S., any piece written calling attention to anything that can be done to help prevent or shine a light on warning signs, I’m eternally grateful for. Educated information versus some celebrity with her “magic vagina rock” gives some meaning to her…

You missed her points: 

(After an initial follow-up interview, Gunter declined to participate in this article when Lifehacker’s fact-checker called this past summer, expressing her disapproval that I hadn’t followed up personally. When I followed up with Gunter after that, she expressed further disapproval and hung up on me.)

As soon as he got all up into the art of lovemaking and how rude it would be to get up and go to the bathroom, I was like ok literally all your interpretations are suspect now.

Tierno is going to get hella UTIs. Forget the “art of lovemaking” — go pee after sex, always. If you’re that into not letting him know you have body functions you have to handle, wait until he falls asleep, THEN go pee.

She talks about that later in the story. “I read a recent study finding that menstrual cups might be even more likely to be associated with TSS than tampons.”
