No, you’re right. “Stay away from comedy” is the wrong answer. The right answer is: don’t take jokes completely out of context. If you do that, you lose the ability to actually understand the point of the joke, which is to deconstruct and examine something about life or society.

Just a reminder that there is no genuine track record of Satanist child abuse anywhere in the world.

Christianity’s record, however...

Jen Kirkman also stated on her podcast that it wasn’t Louis CK she was calling out, and that Jezebel were terrible journalists for running the story after she asked them not to.

Does Tig Notaro exist solely to slam other comedians? Whenever she’s in the news, it’s to talk about how someone else did something she disagrees with.

I saw her on CNN yesterday,and she said they have a friend who is having a serious health problem and she’s been using her “15 minutes” to hilight the fund-raiser they are having to raise money to help pay his medical bills.

She’s been his handler for years and he’s the only one who can talk him down—it’s no coincidence this conference took place when he was tired and sundowning and they weren’t there.

I was told, as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, that I was not allowed to talk about this in a Facebook thread yesterday. It was upsetting. I was accused of trying to steal the spotlight and that I have never experienced violence as a Jew (which is incorrect - I was physically assaulted for being Jewish as a…

They were carrying swastikas; I really feel like no one has any business silencing a Jewish person on this one.

Probably something with blood coming out of it’s whatever

Even the language here is dehumanizing! It makes them sounds like sheep! Dude!

I don’t like this. I think it’s very possible that you’re underestimating the intelligence of the children.

I mean, it’s pretty clear that there was a camera involved during this. As in, it was a type of camera test, and part of what they were looking for was a kid who could perform (in this case, tell a lie, as directed—though what kind of lie was unspecified), without either freezing up before the camera, or looking…
