There is not a better argument for defunding or abolishing the police than this video (not to mention what happened at Parkland).

Agree with you 100% about comedians being prone to circling the wagons. The fact is that comedians may look at Dave Chappelle and they think that if the most skilled, venerable, and celebrated comedians of our time can be targeted for cancellation with this level of fervor, or physically attacked while on stage at a…

McLaughlin called O’Rourke a “sick son of a bitch” for trying to “politicize” the shooting[.]

While I think it’s reasonable to expect and demand, at a bare minimum, for present gun control and background check laws to be zealously enforced and actually function as promised, the circumstances of this shooting (more specifically, the age of the shooter,) make me question whether a history of violence by this…

Cf. Harvey Weinstein

Aren’t all humans’ primates? It could have been a bad decision, but has anyone thought that she was just possibly trying to show that humans are primates as well?

The irony of KBJ is that, as one of only three liberal SCOTUS justices, she will arguably have less power than she did when she was sitting on the D.C. Circuit. Mind you, I’m glad she is where she is, I sincerely hope she occupies that seat in good health for decades to come, and I look forward to reading some…

In addition to the fact that he’s in a wheelchair (which probably reads as weakness to FN viewers, to say nothing of reminding them too much of FDR,) there’s also all this homoerotic stuff that’s been released about him. The 65+ crowd doesn’t want that; gay stuff is never okay, not even in jest (regardless of how much…

It remains to be seen how much outrage will be generated by the most vocal contingent of people offended by this move. If this grows beyond a relative handful of people and begins to legitimately threaten his money, I think he’ll say be obliged to say something.

I’ll treasure this validation always. (DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS??!)

I’m withholding ultimate judgment to see what explanation (if any) Mulaney ultimately provides in light of the rancor/backlash/Twittermob.

He used comedy to mock bigotry and intolerance. Now he’s an intolerant bigot, and he’s just not funny.

CG and effects in Wandavision were (to my eyes at least,) MCU-movie-level quality. The CG in the She-Hulk trailer look cheap and poorly composited; “mid” by modern standards (hell, by the standards of 15 years ago even.) There’s still a month or two before She-Hulk premieres, so it’s entirely possible the effects and…

the idea that anything about Mulaney screams “frat boy” is hysterical.

not sure what your point is there.

I really wish they had just gotten a tall, muscular actress and painted her green

That’s an extraordinarily narrow view of what “free speech” means,

So what/who are you actually arguing for in this piece?

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Now, here’s the thing, I don’t know whether you’re taking this particular position because ‘fuck Elon Musk’ and/or ‘this is the internet/none of this matters’, but I’m going to proceed as if it’s a sincere position. To the extent it’s the former, then, I’m sorry I couldn’t tell…

Did you read only the first paragraph of my post and then go on your rant? Because I basically say that NDAs are consistent with actual free speech, and that Musk’s conception of free speech is so incoherent and capricious.
