It’s fascinating that Ellen managed to be challenged by her show’s format at some point, but also shitty to her employees.

Anna and Jane were fighting, so I told her to apologize first. 

That’s a good point, but I prefer to think of them as telenovelas for The Worst™ Horror Fans. 

Wait, so he doesn’t like the secret committees and wants to get rid of them, but is angry at The Weeknd for… sharing his views?

Ringo was just so happy to be there that you have to assume he was simultaneously doing the most and least fucked up shit of the four. A kind of Schrödinger’s Beatle, if you will.

I’ll cop to not getting the whole dipshit edge lord “let’s add something evocative of being deadly but not actually harmful to alcohol” thing. Who the fuck wants a memento mori in their alcohol? Alcohol is supposed to be a oblivisci mori et vita.

I’m not saying it should be overlooked, I’m saying that I don’t believe that anti-Semitism in Black communities comes from a place of deep-seated hate for Jews, and as such, I don’t see a lot of value in punishing someone who has apologized for being a proxy to some really shitty hate speech.

“The Daily Beast article also notes that, after the initial incident, Stanfield attended a Clubhouse room run by Jewish educators. In his statement to the room, he thanked the other participants for educating him”

Yeah, Cannon was going on some OT-VIII levels of anti-Semitism and rebounded probably too fast.

For counter programming, just watch That Damn Michael Che, which is better than even good SNL. 

Based on his appearances in pop culture? No. People cast him when they needed a recognizable “rich” person, and the jokes were always on his dick about how rich he was.

I’m not a fan of holding people accountable by proxy, but besides that, what would you have him do to make amends? 

As a Jew, I feel perfectly comfortable accepting this apology. Maybe I’m just not online enough to care about someone deflecting their dereliction from their duty as internet sheriff by using the passive voice.

That seemed like a pretty full-assed apology to me. He didn’t actually say anything (Unlike Cannon), he apologized for not doing anything more to confront it, he accepted responsibility, and expressly condemned anti-Semitism. Short of a trip to Yad Vashem, I’m not sure what else he was supposed to do.

It also has Mike’s evil brother Eddie taking over to riff. I lost it the first Time he just stood up, walked to the corner of the screen, and had a smoke.

“expressed frustration that the HFPA’s reform vote wasn’t unanimous, with roughly 10 percent of the membership voting against or abstaining.”

I’m not the audience for Pearl Jam specifically, but man, I hope this becomes a thing. More bands just need to dump all their recordings online and let the, like, five sociopathic fans who want to go through them go through them.

This kind of contemporary pop culture nihilism where everything people used to like now needs a reckoning where we accept it always sucked is my least favorite kind of nihilism, but we’re all going to die anyway, so I’m giving you a star. 

This deserves an unironic bravo!
