What made Anthony Bourdain remarkable and why there are so many of people of color touched by his death is that he is the example of allyship that we all talk about. He traveled the world and everywhere he went, he treated people of color with a degree of respect we’re unaccustomed to by rich white men. He spoke in…

It has a massive cult following. Where have you been?

“Gonna be honest—if you find yourself constantly having to explain to people that despite what they just heard you say,”

But that’s not what’s happening. People are continually calling him racist based on one incident, reported years after the fact, that they lack all the information on, that they don’t have film or…

Great interview. Always cool to hear his thoughts.

Also it’s interesting to see both him and Sarah Silverman both expressing things about having conversations play out in public before any attempt to handle them privately. Which, depending on the context/specific issue, is a valid thing to think about.

I would have preferred “The NRA can eat my ass,” but otherwise, yes. I want an unequivocal stance against the NRA.

One local candidate being saucy about an organization doesn’t create a party-wide identity crisis. While I can’t say his method will be effective-largely because of comments like yours, both sincere and disingenuous, that will happily get hung up by the language at the expense of the message- I’m all for Democrats…

Yeah, honestly this was the first time I’ve enjoyed pretty much an entire episode of SNL in years.

Oh come on, that Oran “Juice” Jones sketch was pretty golden, as was the Migos sketch. And the sexy talk sketch had some good lines, and Weekend update. The Barbie intern sketch had the kind of absurd weirdness that I enjoy. Also, excellent musical performances IMO.

Wow, you really should be an SNL writer. That Joel McHale cameo really would have turned the episode around, can’t believe the writers didn’t think of that.

The pillowtalk sketch actually got the strongest response in my family. Melissa Villasenor is so talented. I think the Barbie one missed a little bc Donald kept breaking.

Damn, this episode had more celebrity cameos in it than Stormy’s had in her.

Eating too much toothpaste can make someone seriously ill.

Ingraham said something exceptionally stupid. A boycott was organized in response to her stupid words. Ingraham apologized in an effort to halt the boycott. Boycotters decided she is insincere.

You’re being willfully obtuse for your own ideological reasons. This isn’t criticism. None of the attacks against the kids has been criticism. They’ve been personal attacks and ridiculous claims designed to rile up the anti-gun control crowd and distract from the issue. These attacks can’t be defended, if you’re a…

Honestly, I think you have a point. I believe in open discourse. Even assholes like Laura Ingraham have a right to say stupid shit. I think what you’re missing is that she is similarly trying to silence him and the other kids from that school by constantly shitting on them and questioning their motives. Her network is…

They have no problem viciously attacking

So?

This BS again? What happened to you, man? You used to be caustic but reasonable. Lately you’re turning into a dang truther.

well of course they are. they are children. children that watched their classmates, teachers, and friends violently killed. this isn’t a schoolyard game but you know that. use your time to help people instead of disparaging kids. what a despicable pastime. build up the world. don’t tear it down, Bender. be better.

Nothing says, “My ideology is intellectually robust, popular, and secure” than going after a teenage school shooting victim.
