was it really because of fans? I thought Kumail was just too busy.

I was on board for the first level of pedantry, and then we just kept going

ianucci is pretty much the greatest living satirist, and he's gone

Wonderwall is absolutely not a shitty song

I am so fucking desensitized that I saw this happen in real time and it didnt even phase me

this is dope as hell. I really respect the DIY ethos from Glover. Big reason I've rooted for him since Derrick Comedy

While they both do comedy about social norms, Larry does it in a more transgressive way. They also have the same put-upon demeanor, but it plays very differently: Jerry's comedy always seems slightly beneath him. Even showing up seems beneath Larry—really, why would you want to see me? I'm telling you now, this isnt…

Jerry is also obsessed with jokes as a system, which is spectrum compared to like, Kevin Hart

also, how problematic Venkman is has literally no bearing on the rest of the movie. He's an asshole, but he's a funny asshole, and it's a comedy, not a polemic against feminism. Wait until people find out about Eastbound and Down

Look, I 100% agree on all fronts. Especially the front about Jurassic World being terrible. I wish they had done a version of jurassic park with all the people from lady Ghostbusters, anything to get rid off the fucking romance subplot

Everything in the 80s relies a bit too much on gay panic and sexism, but at least Bill Murray has great comic timing. Good morning vietnam sucks because robin williams is the fucking worst. The only believable robin williams roles are one hour photo and insomnia

I really don't want to have to be the white guy arguing against lady ghostbusters, but are we really gonna pretend that the remake wasn't "significantly better or worse than the original?" Though perhaps a little overrated, the first movie is remembered as one of the great comedies of its decade. The new ghostbusters…

hey, now you're being kind and reasonable and I feel bad for any snark I had in there

I hate Bill Maher because he's a smug douche whose whole shtick revolves around making just-left-of-center Americans feel smart as they laugh at "dumb republicans," while giving a platform to any right-wing monster who agrees with him about weed and Islam. He's a boring libertarian Democrat who is endlessly convinced…

The trade protectionist right is kind of new. And look at how those are the things on which the right has seemingly no power to affect change

the right wing always wins because right wing goals fundamentally coincide with corporate and monied power. Leftists have to fight on two fronts, between the right and the less-progressive people in their own ranks. To win we have to organize, we have to protest again and again, to see past the hegemony of corporate…

yeah, that was pretty facile of me. Obviously talking to a senator and talking to a friend are different.

this is peter daou. I'm sorry it takes a while to respond because i can only type with one hand because the other is hitting myself with a flail

I actually think it's better if Sasse is black (though maybe not, considering he's a stranger). I'll make far more racist jokes around my black friends than i will to my white friends, because a bunch of white guys making fun of black people is actual racism
