“Comedians shouldn’t be allowed” is where thoughts like this are headed.

I’d really suggest devoting time elsewhere.

Okay, I kind of get the feeling you’re just trying to pick an argument here, but I’m genuinely curious about what this apparently unique POC take on this issue is, since from what I’ve seen they generally seem to fall into being some variation on the same three categories as everyone else’s, namely:

  • Will Smith is a violent monster who should have had his Oscar stripped away, and charges pressed

And, really, we could leave it right there (Maybe for good! That would be nice!)

Yep, that’s exactly my argument!

“even Carreyrou has been clear that he doesn’t really know what motivated Holmes regarding certain decisions.”

The line that grabbed me was “But The Dropout floundered when navigating the murky details of her early life, falling back on TV tropes to try and find that spark of humanity.”

Eh, she didn’t have decades of failed businesses and tabloid cover stories behind her like Trump did. For those of us who were paying attention it was obviously a scam considering the vast majority of blood test experts said what she was proposing was impossible.

Yeah, that pull quote jumped out at me as another example of Randall seemingly not getting the whole Theranos situation. The only real mystery is when Holmes would have had to realize that the machine was never going to work, at least in the way that she’d been promising all along; “never” is an option, because one of

Building a mythology around her ‘inscrutability’ doesn’t help anyone either, it just encourages people like her.

“It represents the need to try and make sense of this inscrutable woman, who is either the simplest person to ever exist or the most complex.”

I find the story fascinating, but I don’t find an exploration of Elizabeth Holmes interesting because I don’t find her actions all that deep. She’s a con-woman that selfishly wanted fame and fortune, and was willing to bend the truth and step over people to do it. That’s the long and short of it.

Is it possible that this was NOT a joke that she crafted to be told during an Oscars hosting gig, and was, in fact, a joke that was purposely terrible and created just for a bit about Oscars jokes that were cut?

Agree with the other criticisms but...

Still, we’re all grateful that Schumer didn’t tell that joke on stage, especially considering Hutchins’ name was barely visible during the ceremony’s bizarre, overly complicated In Memoriam segment.

You get that a standup joke premise isn't necessarily literally true, right?

Oh no, you didn’t like a joke in an act you didn’t actually see. Can you do some concert reviews based on reddit posts about them?

Quite a stroke of good fortune for Louis.

Moss:  “Maybe.  I’ll need at least three raw super-close ups every episode, one crying scene...oh, and to direct.”
