Female screenwriters? Female producers? The director isn’t the be all end all of a movie. And I’m not saying that men should be the directors of women’s films, but look at Bigelow and DuVernay: women can make stories about men, too. Sometimes it seems like when we’re busy demanding that women take the helm of say,…

And here is absolutely no way to know or prove that would would have been the case.

Calm down. He’s a dufus but not dangerous. And NK is a weak little nation with a crazy family in charge. We’d shoot down anything they’d try tpo send across the Pacific. It’s a big ocean and we have satellites. With all the fake news lately I don’t know if it’s true but I read that the elite in NK are looking for…

It’s the “his own people” that’s most telling. At a subconscious, gut-belief level, Spicer doesn’t consider Jewish Germans and Austrians to be Germans and Austrians, i.e. Hitler’s people. He considers them wholly Other in a way that is analogous to Hitler’s own Othering of Jews, gays, Communists, dissenters, etc.

Holocaust centers.

I cannot wait to see this. As an Asian person, I am incredibly happy to see an all-Asian cast.

No. That’s the same excuse people use to explain away revenge porn. No one deserves to be blackmailed.

I remember being thirsty *all the time* as a kid. The teacher would line us up at the water fountain and chant “1 2 3 that’s enough for me” and it was NEVER ENOUGH. Also “leave some for the fishes”, fuck the fishes, I’m thirsty!

“Some girls are way more sensitive and have specific restrictions”

But we are able to hold the paradoxical thoughts like Chapelle is doing. He did good things and Chapelle admires those. He did bad things and Chapelle does not admire that. We are able to believe both things as humans and I think that’s ok. Think of it this way. Let’s say your only son committed murder. You would know…

I’ve had to struggle what to think of Cosby since all this broke widely too. Not in the “is he a monster or not” sense, as he clearly is, but in the “how to reconcile the genius of his comedic career and what he did or tried to do for black people in this country with the horrible crimes that it turns out he was…

Yeah. It’s easy for us as younger people who maybe didn’t grow up with Bill Cosby to focus entirely on these awful things he’s done. And Dave is obviously acknowledging that, but I get how it could cause a little bit of existential pain for someone like him, the kind that might lead him to say some shit that while…

Ill survive... Its your virtue signaling that ain’t a good look

I’ve made this argument on Jez to much (obvious) contention but really, I just don’t think comedy is for progressives. Modern progressives are too sensitive and go into viewing entertainment with a list of boxes to check for groups and subgroups and sub-subgroups that shouldn’t be “offended.”

How mature and brave of you. Does your arm get tired from patting yourself on the back for such heroism? I deplore the president but his saying “give him a chance” is not an admission of support. By no means deplorable enough to never listen to a historically great comic again.

I watched Spin last night, and Rich is leaving out a key part of the Cosby commentary - that being it was a callback to a joke done earlier in the show concerning a superhero who resorts to rape to maximize his “powers,” setting up a moral conundrum of “he rapes, but he saves lives.”

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Q-tip

I won’t tho.

I do not understand why someone would force themselves to listen\watch someone they find dreadful. If you don’t mind me asking, why are you here? It’s very clear what the post is about. Assuming you’re not being held against your will, what’s it like being a masochist? I would assume it also be dreadful, or do you…

I don’t think Donald Trump knows how to sit in a chair.
