Nanette had funny moments, but Gadsby’s sincere zeal for the culture war has the effect that sincere zeal for the culture war ultimately ruins a person’s ability to act “as if” and take shots at themselves and people like them.  

“a human chain wallet”. Brilliant.

That’s a guy who has, on multiple occasions, told a room full of people to be quiet when the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence came on. He just listens with his eyes closed until he “speak sings” the “and the people bowed and prayed” part. Nobody gives him shit for it because they “know how he gets”.

You nailed it. You could look up “Red State White Guy” and it’d just be his picture. He looks like every local dude I ever saw at a Love’s travel center during one of me and my wife’s road trips between Seattle and Denver. He looks like twenty five years ago he flipped his baseball cap around backwards and never took…

‘human chain wallet’  destroyed me.  I’m dead now.  Thank you for that.  

Your description was hilarious so I googled him to see for myself and everything you wrote describes him prefectly.

Boebert is *exactly* the type of person you sort of knew in high school who you *have* to stay Facebook friends with because she’s nonstop drama, fights, 911 calls, text screenshots, etc.

Archambault told the tabloid he and Boebert “were good friends” who “were together all the time,” admitting that he “spent a lot of time at their house, hanging out with her, helping her, as a friend would do.” But, he says, “there was nothing sexually, no. We were real close at one time, but it never got to that…

I saw Tori Amos perform perhaps thirty-ish times in the first few years of her career. Every single night she performed “Me and a Gun,” it was always exactly as harrowing as one would think and as she intended, and I always wondered what our difference in strength was; I was roughed up listening to it, yet she not…

The implication between one in three women being victims is not that one in three men are perpetrators. The vast majority of serial abusers have more than one victim. We all know of prolific serial abusers, like Harvey Weinstein or Larry Nassar. Analysis of old rape kits revealed that rapists tend to be serial…

What a psycho this woman is. I’ve encountered people like her in my youth. I’m sure her reaction was like this because these are Black children, but even as a white kid I remember getting yelled at by this same neighbor for being hear her yard. She’d yell at all the neighborhood kids (and we were bunch of white and…

Leaving Prima Facie, I realized that Comer’s Ensler faces not just one jury, but a second: the audience. The latter can be just as cruel.

I’m with you on pretty much all of this (though I’ve never been into comic books), particularly the last. Never again have I watched Luke take off Vader’s helmet without thinking about Hooper shouting at that room full of people.

It’s not hard to understand why lesbians would hate this movie given how it pushes the “lesbians haven’t met the right guy” button.

I fully acknowledge this is going to be a weird and kinda out there analogy, but it’s kinda the Hybrid Motor of its day. Look, we all know we’re moving towards Electric Vehicles as the norm and the Internal Combustion Engines are going to fade into history. It’s just the timing that’s in question. Hybrids exist as a…

“I always thought of Chasing Amy as kind of like a cultural Rorschach test, where whatever you’re looking to get out of it is probably what you’re going to get out of it,” said Rodgers.

Fair to say she writes very personal songs that clearly connect her to her fans in ways to which most other performers can only aspire. Their absurd investment in her private life is a completely unsurprising side effect.

This “long-running feud” appears to consist of this woman repeatedly assaulting Owens’ children with no consequence.  Of course she thought she could murder Owens and get away with it.

It doesn’t help that for every activist demanding that allies “Leverage Their Privilege to Support the Oppressed”, some other schmuck will condemn them for “Playing White Savior”.
