“We can either have a safe community where police are allowed to do their job or we can have the cops handcuffed and the criminals run free,” he said after being charged last week, according to AP.

You know, I like this. I think more difficulty modes are always welcome and it serves to bring enjoyment to more people who might have found the game a little too frustrating originally.

I think you hit on something insanely important: Adapt or die. Comedians like Chappelle and Seinfeld seem stuck in a bygone era of comedy to me. When I think about the comedy that has stood out to me in the past ten years or so, it is often the more layered and meaty stuff that stands out (and is in direct opposition…

In case you haven’t seen the cancel culture comments from Bobcat Goldthwait

I think this article really does a great job covering Chappelle and predicting his future:

Dave once told me, when he started doing more deconstructed shows, that he realized he didn’t necessarily have to be funny to hold a crowd in his hand, he just had to be interesting.

‘I’ll meet with these people and won’t bow to any demands! Also they have to meet all of my demands! And they have to...bring me cake, yes, cake!’

Most people just want to see Netflix not give 20 million to people who are going to spew hateful bullshit. Some people want his special pulled but most people agree that its not helpful.

For the record, and I need you to know this, everyone I know from the community has been nothing but loving and supporting.

I mean, she off-handedly referenced him in a message to someone else, without even using his name. And he’s so pathetically thin-skinned that he feels a need to respond with something so lazy it doesn’t even rise to the level of a joke?

I told people he was only going to double down and play the victim. He’s Dennis Miller now. He won’t learn and he won’t grow unless he’s forced to by something serious and by “serious” I mean on the level of Richard Pryor setting himself on fire.

Keep punching up until you reach the peak.

I haven’t seen it but from what I read his comments did come off as transphobic. So in the office yesterday and talking to a trans person and they said they saw it and loved it.

So I was not happy with Dave’s words in his special... but I also wasn’t calling for his show to be canceled. Then Ted Sarandos decided to open his smug fucking mouth and start making declaratives about what is and isn’t hurtful for everyone, so I canceled my Netflix subscription and cited Ted’s comments.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if another big financial crash is imminent.

Ded.  

yep. I thinks of things that are funny, but too fucked up to say. And I think of things that are funny, but too fucked up to say to someone who doesn’t know me really well. I take a second to read what I just typed before I hit “post.” If the jokes you post on social media or say into a microphone have lots of people…

I think Stephen Colbert copyrighted “truthiness”.

When talking of producers’ decisions, let us bear in mind that Alec Baldwin himself is a producer of this film.

Kind of a weird article. It’s like saying “All these commercials for Star Wars keep using the Star Wars theme”
