I’m so glad somebody caught that.

They paid for that union stuntman, and damnit they’re going to get their money’s worth.

I get your concern, but antivaxxers are gonna antivax regardless of what we do. They had already come up with half a dozen bullshit excuses and willful manipulations of the truth to justify not getting the shot already.

Real talk, I have a master’s degree in public health and 8 years of experience working with contraception specifically, so this is one of the three or four very minute parts of human existence where I do indeed know what I’m talking about.

I disagree completely. As for the whole “what are the antivaxxers going to spew about this” argument, again, fuck ‘em. We don’t make health policy based on what Facebook Karens say, and we aren’t going to abandon our protocols to keep a vaccination program going at even the slightest risk of fatalities to prove,…

That’s true that we shouldn’t necessarily trust data from the 60s and 70s when it comes to medications. My point was that contraceptives, specifically pills, have remained pretty similar in terms of the medicines they use (progesterone) and that the big changes have been tweaks in the formulation, how the pill is…

I’m a public health worker, and here’s my semi-professional opinion on the J&J thing. Unsurprisingly, the snarky AV Club opinion (and sadly, the opinion from Colbert’s writer) is really uninformed:

If you’re looking for a more than acceptable substitute to this event, I recommend the Joe Biden Insult Bot:

I have a lot of respect for journalism, and the role it applies in holding powerful people accountable, but good heavens are journalists some of the most smug, insufferable people I’ve ever encountered. They seem to think that because we pay attention to them to figure out what heck is going on in the world that this…

My reading of the lyrics, which is hard because this is objectively not a very good song, is that he’s referencing Boris Johnson and how he was telling people the crisis was a time for good old British resiliency despite the fact that BoJo’s botched handling was the reason why things were so bad.

What about people who are in “It’s Complicated” relationship with Jesus Christ?

That guy probably pulled up a whole list of potential vacation destinations and spent a whole lot of time thinking about which place would be most impressed by his prestigious American job.

And how is that any different from most other Florida residents?

A long running comedy show doing an episode based around an aspect of the culture of one its characters is not a stereotype. By that logic any episode with Krusty’s Jewish faith being mentioned, the gayness of Smith being mentioned, Bumblebee Man’s heritage being mentioned, etc. is “problematic.” That particular…

Agreed, this is just blatant, unnecessary cynicism. They’re not Clapton and Van Morrison whining about having to wear a facemask in 7/11, this is a guy peforming a goofy, throwaway rock song with a hero of his.

Apu lied to his mother and ducked out of his arranged marriage because he was loving life in the United States, specifically being Springfield’s most eligible bachelor.

Have you guys considered not talking about either of them?

He and I have the exact same birthday, and in a strange way it’s comforting to know he’s aging worse than me.

“You think you’ve seen hot guys? Honey, you haven’t got a clue. Next season, we’ve got men with 10-pack abs. We’ve got men with cheekbones so high you get altitude sickness just from gazing longingly at them. We’ve got men so attractive that every ounce of moisture will flood into your vagina and you’ll need an IV…
