Counterpoint: In the case of an actual emergency, this president is the last person you’d want to inform until it was absolutely necessary.

To Kimmel, his straightness, and his history of speaking as a gleeful misogynist, actually makes him more of an authority on something like gay rights because he’s speaking from a place of straight “objectivity” instead of the real, lived experience of a gay person.

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Also Maya Angelou, implying that people can change and become better.

This piece comes off as extremely belittling of a man who seems to genuinely be trying to learn and become a better person. If having ever been ignorant or done something wrong in the past is a disqualifier for growing into a decent person, how do you expect to ever win over the millions of people who’ve had…

Washed up comedians becoming right wing shock podcasters seems like a lucrative business. Instead of being left in the scrapheap of entertainment history where they belong, Carolla and Joe Rogan have become the Hannity and Limbaugh for the r/thedonald and the tiki torch generation.

I've had an automatic side eye for Kimmel for a long time but he's reformed. I'm not beyond forgiving his history, hell I used to watch the Man Show with my Dad as a teenager and thought it was hilarious. It took many years of experience in life to realize how wrong the perspective I was taught was. As long as Kimmel…

It doesn’t really change the fact that the insistence that Kimmel and Corolla were trolling all of us and their “Man Show” personas were merely satirical is false and revisionist. Adam Corolla is very much still Adam Corolla from “The Man Show,” except like his Loveline buddy Dr. Drew, has gotten even more…

It took what it always takes: getting hit close to home. He had to sit in a NICU (much like I had around the same time frame) and see all these other families just like his but without the benefit of all his money. Hours sitting in a chair with another family just across a curtain talking to social workers and…

Hazel, I wish you hadn’t touched this topic. I know the Kimmel thing keeps getting tossed around on Jez, and if you had read the comments on those prior pieces you wouldn’t be looking this foolish.

Everybody knows that Kimmel was that guy. Corolla is still that guy. The difference (and one that should make all of us…

if I recall correctly, the ideal conception of how to live life was embodied by the construction worker neighbor who only cared about fishing, the “breast exam” commercial so he could see boobs, and hated emotions.

I don’t believe in cancel culture effectiveness, because people are rarely actually “cancelled”, they usually just suffer a few months because they won’t give a proper apology and there’s always, “yes I did this but...”. It’s a false narrative that people being cancelled will actually suffer, because realistically…

I had friends that wanted to play this at every opportunity back when it was new. The first time was fun, “Oh it’s just dirty Apples to Apples” I said. By the 3rd time you play it and realize the people who like it REALLY like it a little too much, it’s too late.

Nah man, I just like to avoid getting into arguments with people that use the phrase “SJW” unironically. And by pure chance a lot of them flock to the same types of entertainment.

I’m not saying this in support or opposition to any specific terms here, but I’m always confused by the guys who try to use etymology as a reason to keep using a word. Language changes, always and forever. Terms can develop new meanings, lose old ones, or change in a million other ways. Just that fact that you have to…

You know what bums me out, a little special something on top of police brutality, racist murders, and all that, I mean. What bums me out about this is using sexual threat as insult, sexual violence as a“perfect call”. Sucking a dick and choking on it isn’t inherently shameful or punishment or anything.

This sort of drive by “look at me” outbursts don’t do anything other than make the original person feel better and work up some frenzy on the internet. The only thing that really helps is boots on the ground, protesting, and voting. These self-pats-on-the-back don’t get us anywhere and give a false sense of…

Why the homophobia? As a gay man, I love to suck dick, and it’s homophobic when people use it to denigrate people. And why is someone with a dick encouraging someone else to “choke on it?” Sick.
