I watched this flood of ungreys in my notifications yesterday, desperately hoping The Slot would be one of them. Le sigh.

I was thinking the same thing as I started reading this. I started listening to him in the 90s in high school, through college and after. Between the radio show and his show w/Adam on MTV, he was actually entertaining and informative. Kind of crazy to see what he has become.

So I just posted a similar sentiment. Was he better in the 90s? Like, was he legit or did we just not know why better? I was too young to know.

What’s Doctor Laura Schlessinger doing these days? She’d be perfect!

Why are we still pretending to listen to this man? Isn’t he essentially what Dr. Phil is to psychology and Dr. Oz is to GP? Like, sure, at one point they were real people who did real things to help people, but now they’re just cheap hacks desperate to turn as many tricks as possible to make that sweet, sweet…

I liked Dr. Drew so much in the 90s, based mostly on listening to Loveline late at night driving to and from college. I have been more and more appalled at him ever since. Beyond promoting conspiracy theories, he’s been peddling the worst kind of junk pop medicine for years. He’s dangerous in much the same way as Dr.…

Seasonal allergies were created by the government in the 60s to attack hippies, the so-called ‘flower children’

Two utter douchebags who were made for each other.

listen, let’s not let the wacko conspiracy theories overshadow Hillary’s actual health problems. i have extensive experience in this area and there is literally no issue more debilitating than seasonal allergies. what if her hands are covered in mucus and she hits the “bomb the earth” button by accident? what if she’s…

I guess the bigger question is why CNN thought that the guy who exploited addicts for ratings would be a good addition to their network? Of course he was going to say and suggest stupid things, while using his title to legitimize said stupid things.

How he didn’t lose his medical license after the living hippocratic oath violation that was Celebrity Rehab, I’ll never know.

The timing and tone of this are Samurai-level politics.

BTW, can we stop calling them the “alt-right?” So, like, the Klan may have been getting their hoods and robes laundered the past decade or two, and the Nazis hid their little swatika patches, but they are still the Klan and the Nazis.

This is a good question. I’m mostly a consumer on Twitter — I get a lot of news there and I like seeing what relatively famous people are up to. So I manage to not even see most of the really horrible stuff (unless you happen to look at replies to what anybody with a sizable following tweets). But the abuse is…

Twitter is so embedded in our culture and media at this point it’s hard to see it failing until as-yet-unseen technology or media make it obsolete.

I think good drag is pushing the boundaries of what society thinks women are, and bad drag is resting on the criticisms society already has of women.

I welcome the drag/sexism discourse. Some of the biggest misogynists I’ve met in my lifetime have been femme gay men and/or queens. Just the term “fish” for starters...

All understood. It bears mentioning that drag is (thankfully) not a one-way street though! There are a lot of very talented drag kings out there who mock and celebrate gender identity in as fierce and intelligent ways. I just wish they got the visibility they deserve—there is not yet something like RuPaul’s drag race…

“but I kind of felt like they were making fun of me as a woman during some parts.”

It’s great that there is some exploration of drag/sexism in the interview. It’s something that I’ve always struggled with as a feminist. On the one hand, when I was in high school and working as a youth activist for LGBTQ causes, having a drag show was a very liberating experience for a lot of the fellow students I…
