Bring in Sean Patrick Flanery. He’s already played Young Indiana Jones, now he can play old Indiana Jones. He’s in his mid-50s, so he can pick up around the mid 1950s and we can remake Kingdom of the Crystal Skull without all the aliens, CGI monkeys, and Shias LaBeouf.
Sorry if I gave the impression that I was trying to say that Chappelle, alone, uniquely, was directly causing violence. If he were the lone voice in the wilderness, that’d be a whole different thing. But he’s not.
My concern is that he is a very loud, very powerful voice who is (rightfully) revered for his…
Cool dude. For me, “The Nazis did this too” is a pretty strong argument against doing something, but setting that aside (for some reason) there’s extensive evidence that public figures bagging on marginalized groups increases those groups chances of being the victims of violence. Anti-asian hate crimes following the…
Sure. This guy is rocking my ideal personal style, though, so I definitely see this as style win for fat dudes that favor band shirts and jean jackets. I believe he looks a lot better (and, I’d argue, more respectable) than if he’d just shown up in some kakis and a polo.

So, coupla things:
Normalizing bigotry emboldens violent actions. To believe contrary is to ignore the fucking entirety of human history, but especially, let’s say, the last 400 years or so, and certainly the last 6 years.
Oh, no question, there are lots of bigoted, hack comedians recycling a lot of the same, tired premises. You can go to any “Chuckle Hut” on a Tuesday night and hear some shitty comic trying to be the next Andrew Dice Clay or Howard Stern. I guess my question is, should someone making millions and millions of dollars…
If a dog has puppies, the ones that have penises are male and the ones with vaginas and uteruses are female. It’s like this through most of the animal kingdom.
Is Dave Chapelle the only comedian you’ve ever seen or heard? Because there are lots and lots and lots of very funny people who manage to do entire standup routines without once saying using “I agree with bigots trying to subjugate a marginalized group of people” as the premise of at least one section of every special…
Some of us are just fat people for whom formal wear is prohibitively expensive. But, yes, even I own one nice suit.
Why would you say “I consider myself part of a group of people that works to actively limit the civil rights of trans people” if you weren’t that?
Songwriting credits are often absurd. Most Beatles songs are credited to Lennon/McCartney, whether they were written by one or the other, or co-written and arranged with Harrison, Starr, and George Martin. Barry took the theme and made it his own, but it would not exist as we know it without Norman’s initial work.
I hate this so much. Radio Shack was a godsend for me as a kid, trying to fix up yard sale stereos and buying loads of esoteric adapters. Seeing their Twitter Account being used as a shock-jock shill is just gross.
Man, y’all retained a lot more of Avatar than I did.
I’ll cop to never having read the L&K comic, but the show strikes a good balance between creepy and delightful.
Word is Tenoch Huerta will be big-badding in that one as Namor. I’m quietly hoping Coel will be playing Storm, but that seems really unlikely.
Y is tragically skippable, but I’ve really enjoyed Locke & Key. Seems like this one would be hard to screw up, but so did Preacher, Walking Dead, and Y, so who knows.
