I think it’s interesting to contemplate whether Garland’s British-ness is an important consideration, here. Britain has been remarkably resistant to fully committing to any ideology or government type. They clipped the monarchy’s nuts, but not completely, and didn’t get rid of it. They clipped the House of Lords’…

We should try Trump out again and if it doesn’t work, we’ll simply vote him out.

He seems to be trying to bring people from all ideologies into the theater, so his movie will make lots of money, and not just half the money. I wouldn’t read much more into it than that.

THEY’RE TAKING THE COCAINE TO ISENGARD, TO ISENGARD, TO ISENGARD

The world would’ve been a lot better place if Tolkien just kept to shagging other dudes at Oxford instead of writing books. 

“That’s everybody though, you and me, everyone has a form of unconscious bias.”

“how brave of this person to sit on the story”

Correction. He’s never been afraid to tell it like he thinks it is. Which is more and more wrong every year now.

I was once a diehard fan, but have grown disenchanted over the last few years. His insistence on platforming choads like Ben Shapiro, and his rationale for doing so (“I’m willing to dialogue with anyone”) just doesn’t jibe when their half of the dialogue is “dictatorship would be cool if our guy is the dictator” or…

He doesn’t, though. He doesn’t have real conversations. He just puts out his increasingly ridiculous views and has others on to give theirs. It’s usually not a real conversation. He also doesn’t “call bullshit on his own group”. He attacks liberals mostly and mostly just shrugs at conservatives.

A much better late-night host once said (about George W. Bush, to his face) “He believes the same thing on Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened on Tuesday.”

No, he rants about cancel culture and “the left” and cozies up to right-wingers. He’s still anti-Trump and pro-some liberal views, but mostly he’s just an angry old man yelling at clouds these days.

For a moment, I was confused that she didn’t look like the lady who played Shmi Skywalker.

YES. EXACTLY. He’s always fixing his drink or lighting another joint, and he’s so clearly not interested in whatever the guest says. He knows nothing about who’s sitting in front of him. He has no interesting questions or topics of conversation. Charles Manson could be sitting in front of him and he’d ask, “So what’s…

Who the fuck is still watching this asshole?

Tim Heidecker absolutely nails it

I look at him and I just think, "Chlamydia."

Maher sits with the smug satisfaction of a man who loves the smell of his own farts. Atheist, pot-smoking libertarians are still libertarians and libertarians suck.

His podcast sucks. He’s so drunk and stoned, he barely registers as a presence on it.

What a shit ass thing to say
