I think we can safely say ‘widespread cancel culture is a myth’ and that a certain subset on social media absolutely will try to cancel anybody (see Colbert a decade ago by one Asian-American activist) but the idea of the right’s portrayal of it forces us to constantly negate their own meta narrative with ours. …

No, Glover really isn’t that smart...he’s totally leaning into the stupid argument because we’re 6 months out from finding out he’s a rohypnol subscriber or some other horrible thing.

Horse doping is common but...if you’re caught 29 times in a career that’s averaging around once every other year, how bad are you at this?

Look, I feel Perkins getting old and should be taken off the SNL beat because god knows he hates it but atleast he can write a healthy article.  It’s a little irritating that he doesn’t acknowledge the joke up top at times (not that it’s always needed but I think 99% of us have no idea what Baffert looks like and…

What’s fascinating is generally somebody that highly paid and longstanding slips into films between seasons, even modest budget indie stuff. She has done exactly ZERO work outside of some VO, crossover with Station 19, and playing herself in some guest appearances.

I skimmed your diatribe. Have fun, ‘black, middle class’ parent. I would feel for you more if you made it clear you had to teach your children an extra-level of precaution due to their skin color not giving them social credence for basic human behaviors but you didn’t really say that, you went straight at me because…

Ellen Pompeo has managed to craft a career out of being a character actress who lucked into the role of a lifetime and has generally been called the weakest link on the show since it’s inception and was solely written in because Shondra Rhimes couldn’t get ABC to let her cast a black woman as the main character.

Thanks, helicopter parent. I’m out. I stopped reading at a certain point because I realized you missed the whole issue, that is, we should teach kids right from wrong and that pointing out that kissing sleeping people isn’t necessarily a good thing by adding context to what was essentially a kiss for somebody who was…

Just goes to show you how natural and funny sexual predators can be...

SNL knows he’s completely radioactive. At this point, it would be a perfect storm of getting the show cancelled or have Michaels removed to even think about inviting him back because anything from him now would be to have your advertisers abandon you and the crew and cast just walk away.

In respect to both SNL & MTV, they were basically funded on shoestring efforts. If they failed the parent company wasn’t out much and could move on. If they succeeded they got a powerful show for next to nothing. The issue is once you move into a success everybody wants to protect that investment because inevitably…

Perkins, we get it, Elon Musk is a terrible human being and I 100% agree with that. This performance did not instill anything new or interesting in that worldview. The zeitgeist he has gotten from major media outlets has basically insulated him and his appearance on SNL was bad as a guy in on the joke and at the same…

Publicity stunts are all we can do in America so long as 40% of Americans are willing to die on a hill to defend their absolutely shitty lives from being made better but also meaning you can have a black neighbor.  

Coffee, maybe?

Just a reminder folks:  Barsanti is in his mid-30s being a freelancer for the Onion while living in the exurbs of Milwaukee.  I can only imagine his life consists of working random barista jobs and raging.  I don’t hate him but every time I read a Barsanti article I feel like he’s trying to get into McSweeney’s good…

Exactly.  I’ve done this for a number of loved ones, I hate that people are essentially filthy animals and think all contact is sexual because America has bred our society into fuck/eat/capitalism is good as the base motto.

When would your child go around kissing other sleeping children? I mean, I guess at nap time but then they would just get corrected...

Ugh, I can’t even begin to feel anything but loathing. I’m a so-so guitar player but the jury basically said ‘well, you used bricks, and they used bricks, therefore your bricks are rightfully theirs regardless of the fact these bricks exist and have done so for hundreds of years.’

I think that was the general consensus.  It wasn’t a crash and burn but it basically just sort of treaded water its entire life.  I’m glad I didn’t get into it but I may end up watching it at some point if I get desperate. :P

Nothing beats a gas furnace during a bad winter.
