Reilly: “There’s no clean way to get stuff done. The Coup’s first album came out on EMI Records, which was a major international megacorporation. I’ve never been out there pushing, ‘Let’s make a gentler capitalism,’ or trying to get people to buy from Peet’s instead of Starbucks. The small capitalists are trying to be…
No, they’re chastising him *specifically* because he said “All we can do is encourage people to talk.” and Reilly’s point, as well as Mary Kate’s point, is that people HAVE talked. Primarily on the union side. The AMPTP has not “talked”, they have lectured and repeatedly rejected efforts to negotiate, which is…
Former history teacher here, well said. I sure as shit taught US labor struggles in my classes. But anti-union propaganda is strong in this country of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
this is a good example of full-on internet poisoning.
I’m begging you, please, read a book, ANY book, about the labor movement. The most famous labor song in American history is called “Which Side Are You On?”. The thrust of that song is that if you do not take a stand and support workers you are supporting bosses and an unjust status quo. Americans are so fucking…
This is the stupidest thing I’ve read all week, and the fact that you thought it was actually smart makes it hilarious.
This is a weird take - AMPTP is transparently trying to exploit essentially all its laborers. Have you seen some of the residuals checks these folks are getting from streaming media? You can try to “see both sides” based on how sad Bob Iger is that Disney can’t make movies right now, but you’d reaaaaally have to reach…
Sure, I guess this take makes sense if you don’t understand how systems work and/or are a tedious bore.
So long as it’s cash up front....
You don’t think that average includes the tons of Tesla sales? You think it’s just a couple Lucids tipping the scales?
If this were a totally fictional story, and it was just a random character that was given a large prosthetic nose to broadly signal Jewishness, that’s “jewface” (which is problematic). In this case, an actor is using prosthetics to more closely resemble Bernstein, an actual person who had a prominent nose. AND…
Damn. Hittin me with facts. Facts got hands.
He didnt win an Oscar.
I don’t get why the author is trying to call into doubt whether or not Sandra Bullock knew about this situation. How would she know? She was given a script, and probably met the woman she pretended to be a few times in controlled situations where that woman would have been pretending to be great.
The $170K figure includes the non-monetary benefits... AWESOME Heath Coverage, 401(k), excellent vacation time. This is about $50K of the value in the overall wage.
This dumbfuck thinks he’s going to convince people who read this site that it’s a totally different thing than it is.
I did watch it, and he’s obviously a talented dude, and in the context of a coming out story rather than comedy special, it’s pretty great, but I want a comedy special to leave me in pain from laughing, and it was not at all that.
I expected to see Amy Schumer. But then we’d have to see commenters saying awful things about her, trying to be funny.
Yep, pretty much. I’m put off by a lot of Chappelle’s recent stuff (his fixation on trans people) but his “Killin’ Them Softly” special from way back (even before Chappelle’s Show) is better than a lot of stuff on this list. And a Louis CK special is deserving too (take your pick from Shameless up through 2017), in…
Look, we know he’s a terrible human being now, and it’s become all of the rage to say “Oh, Bill Cosby was never funny”... but, c’mon. There’s no way Bill Cosby Himself doesn’t make this list.
