I was genuinely surprised by Crudup’s character, hoping that continues.

I know why they do it. I know it started as something fun and unexpected that people did. I know that (most importantly) it’s cheaper.

listen to the podcast “Maintenance Phase.” It’s all about looking at the data re: fatness and health. Their episode on “the obesity epidemic,” something largely manufactured by pharma companies and diet companies, is eye-opening.

Good.

Richards was EP. Maybe that explains it on its own.

Yes, let’s judge the people we put people in high profile jobs in 2021 by the standards we used in the ‘80s.

“I have a great sense of humor, but that Family Guy joke enraged me.”

Yes, ditto to all of that. He was 39 when he said all that shit too. 39. Like, the R word should stop feeling OK to say after middle school, but I’ll grant you until 25 (when your brain supposedly finishes growing). Guy went 14 years beyond that. And he wasn’t sheltered. He was in a position of power and influence the…

Read the whole article... man, that guy just seems vile. It’s not that he’s saying gross things, it’s the casualness in saying those things that is most striking, and at age 39. I said some shit ten years ago in my twenties I’m not at all proud of, but jeez. Yeah we need to be more sensitive about how we “cancel”…

“Nice is different than good.”

She did not write it, correct. She did adapt it to her own voice, most specifically by adding the R-E-S-P-E-C-T spell-out break down in the song. I THINK she added that. And that’s one of the most memorable parts of the song. It’s a great song that, like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “I Know What Boys Like,” its…

Good.

I loved that book. I listened to the audio version. He narrates it and I usually don’t like when authors do their own narration (unless it’s an actor or comedian’s memoir) but he left me riveted. I think it was that book that had a line about how Perdue Pharma was selling laxatives and dietary supplements before it…

Is it possible, that by selecting groups of marginalized people, and saying “they have it tough, we don’t joke about them”.....is that a form of othering? Excluding groups from the joking around, deciding for them that they’re too sensitive....is that a little much? Is it even helpful?

If you laugh at the punching, you should be able to absorb being punched

Yeah I’m not interested. I thought it was stupid and overblown then and I still think that. A woman’s life was ruined just when it was getting started. I was about the same age too. I thought the idea of reading the Starr Report was so stupid. The details had already been shared across the entire school, and nothing…

Maybe he watched that Woodstock ‘99 doc.

They are also flooding the comments here with their briny tears. I saw “She-Man and Masters of the Woke” somewhere in here and BWAHAHAHA they are so mad.

Apparently man-babies are review-bombing this show?

Pretty much the progression of my thoughts. I mean, it would’ve been enough IMO if he’d decided to resign over proudly bullying disabled kids. That’s f’ed up. But this is some psychotic shit right here.
