It’s weird, because I never said Musk was an evil dangerous man. I pointed out his hypocrisy. I’m not sure I’m the one who’s losing their mind here....

Surprised no one else here has commented on the “No one has to be on this week’s show” proclamation from Lorne...happened to coincide with all of the cast’s moms being invited for the opening sketch.

I’m sure some others have noted this, but doctors/psychiatrists stopped using “Aspergers” about a decade ago and that condition has been reclassified as high functioning autism and adhd. It may not seem like a big deal, but the the word “autsitic” carries a lot of baggage and weight; and if celebrities and those in…

Iceland has become something of a vacation destination in the last ten years or so, so a lot of comedy writers are coming back from there feeling the need to write it into shows like this.

Instead of laughing at the Grogu sketch I was just sitting there wondering “Are they referring to him as ‘Baby Yoda’ because that’s what they know the audience knows him as, are they doing it because they legally can’t say his name, or is it just because they don’t know his name?”

Important to note, if you go to the linked article, the former employee who complained about Musky’s hypocrisy was NOT getting high at work. She was a medical marijuana patient who used it off hours as prescribed, but when she was drug tested, tested positive because that’s how THC works.

“If it’s positive, then what’s the problem?” ~ Me, just before getting fired

As someone who’s also autistic, it’s worth mentioning that Hans Asperger was a Nazi collaborator and a fascist (https://gizmodo.com/pioneering-psychologist-hans-asperger-was-a-nazi-sympat-1825384091).

I liked the new short format this week where it was just all Miley songs and nothing else. Made for a tight, entertaining show.

I’m on the spectrum myself and got the same feeling. At best it could explain how he goes about some things, but certainly not the why. Neurodiversity is cool and we certainly shouldn’t try to all act in the same way (much as society may try to pressure us all) but we can still be decent human beings.

“a public announcement that should, if nothing else, throw some much-needed attention toward that often misunderstood condition.”

Right? Thank you. Fellow Jew here, too. He apologized - maybe he could have done so more quickly, but I’m accepting the apology and view it as sincere. Show me where he specifically said something and maybe we can talk about it more but while I think we can have a lot of conversations about how to build better bridges…

I always watch SNL the day after. Doesn’t seem to make sense to watch it ‘live’ when most of the hosts (at least) are already dead inside.

I dunno, I think I’ll be able to escape the episode itself just fine.

Something I’m wondering that’s tangentially related to this: did Trump ever actually have a good sense of humor? I think that, even though people always knew he was an egomaniac, there used to be a perception that he was capable of making fun of himself(I thought the first SNL episode he hosted was pretty funny).

Oh hey an actual apology. No doubling down, no ignoring your fans who feel hurt, no accepting lovebombings from bigoted abusers, no shouting “cancel culture” at every opportunity while calling your critics “wokescolds” and “Diet Nazis” for asking you to not be an exculusionist asshole while saying that your YouTube…

Yeah with Cannon he specifically brought up the Rothschilds, something only deep anti-semites give a shit about.

I generally agree with your sentiment, but I think Stanfield’s specific situation is a bit different. This doesn’t appear to be him straight up saying antisemtic garbage as we’ve seen with other celebrities over the last year or so (Ice Cube, Nick Cannon, NBA player Stephen Jackson, NFL player Desean Jackson, the…

As a Jew, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.  He didn’t say anything anti-semitic and condemned hate speech.  What do you want him to do?

Time Chasers was a surprisingly depressing movie, but still somehow fun
