Honest question: Regardless of Kawhi’s decision, how are the Lakers going to field an entire roster of NBA-level players at this point?

Never Trump conservatives like Stephens, George Will, and Jennifer Rubin are pulling a nice little bait-and-switch on their audience. For a lot of 2015 and 2016, they spilled a lot of ink explaining that Trump didn’t represent True Conservatism and attempted to convince themselves, first that Republican voters would…
What annoys me the most about this column - and the works of Stephens and David Brooks in particular - is their insistence on couching their bullshit purely as impartial advice for Democrats. It’s always “the party will lose elections if they don’t say/do this thing that I believe in” instead of “the party should say/…
One thing I hate about writers is when they write something that causes a swift and broad backlash, and their defense is “You misunderstood what I meant,” as if that is a valid defense for a person whose job it is to convey ideas to third-parties via the written word. I write for a living, and if someone who is…
The eternal question these guys are always asking is “why won’t the Democrats go back to being the party of Reagan?” They helped Republicans move so far to the right, that they can’t be seen dealing with them in polite society. And instead of cleaning up their own house, they want us to give them ours.
That sounds mean spirited even for a typical prank show.
Is there anything more pathetic about being someone who hates social justice but whines like a toddler at the very idea of trying to treat marginalized people with respect?
Well, this explains the utter failure of Charlie Brooker, say, or Frankie Boyle. Or Jimmy Carr.
Hey, here’s an idea! If you can’t make a room of university kids laugh, maybe up your fucking game? Instead of yelling at them that you’re funny, and you have proof because their parents used to laugh at the same jokes?
To all those who claim you can’t be funny without being offensive, may I direct your attention to the late, and still missed, Mitch Hedberg. One of the funniest motherfuckers to ever tell jokes on stage, and he did it with material about donut receipts, dialing the number 4 enough times, and vending machines, God-God…
I think political correctness makes for better comedy. It gets harder and harder to be lazy and fall back on stereotypes.
You should probably stop saying that. It sounds really dumb.
Yeah that was a pretty bad take you left so good job keeping up the status quo
I love comedy that pushes boundaries. I am a (mostly) unashamed fan of shows like Family Guy. I have Cerebral Palsy, and they have made some jokes about that and similar disabilities that I have gotten a good laugh out of. It is very hard to offend me.
Look, it’s not about “PC Culture.” That isn’t even a definable term, because, as you point out, they have their own ideological lines that it’s wrong (in their view) to cross. This is about bolstering their claims to power and dominance. If this movie or whatever comes into being, and it has jokes about ethnicities at…
I love the articles on line where people say “Hey, remember the Beverly Hillbillies? You couldn’t make a show like that today with all the PC Libtard snowflakes running Hollywood.” I’ve actually seen that and, to be honest, my brain instantly translates “PC Libtard snowflakes” to “Jews”, but that’s my paranoia…
Both Atwood and Greer have said things worthy of criticism, though. Are they supposed to get a free pass on everything they say for the rest of their lives?
FUCK. We’ve been had, guys. All of our favorite pussy libtard ultra PC comedians like Jim Jefferies, Dave Chappelle, Louie CK, and Sarah Silverman are about to be SHUT DOWN!
He probably should be angry at ageism and irrelevance being more to do with edged out of Hollywood than his ‘edgy’ views. But that would make him feel weak.
It’s like coal supporters being mad at renewables and regulation - instead of the the real killer, cheap natural gas in a free market.
Or blaming immigration on…
Tim is confusing “being persecuted” with “not being a popular entertainment figure anymore.”
What’s the difference between a “Safe Space” and group therapy? Like, hasn’t Alcoholics Anonymous always been a safe space? Every time I hear someone complain about safe spaces, what they’re trying to convey is some sort of cultural problem they have with liberals, but what I always end up hearing is that therapy is…
