Please don’t devolve into what-about-ism. There's plenty of dirt to throw on both. I'd be surprised if Jalopnik hasn't published multiple pieces about Ford.

“So if you’re going to pull a random rant about a dead guy remotely related to cars who used to date underage girls...”
We got two.
If they had such high standards why did they hire him in the first place? These tweets came to light over 5 years ago when he was hired and he apologized then.
It’s amazing to me how many people are butthurt, I mean GENUINELY butthurt, that Nanette wasn’t what they expected to be. Or else they’re trolling. I’m too tired to tell.
Sorry, but there were definitely jokes. You just didn’t find them funny. I’m glad it’s categorized as a comedy special on Netflix, and I happen to appreciate that there are multiple ways to do comedy outside of the traditional stand-up.
I laughed very very hard. Repeatedly. I also cried. If you are also capable of a wide range of emotions you may enjoy it.
If you haven’t seen Nanette, do so immediately. It’s not easy watching, nor should it be given what she talks about, but it is fucking incredible. I had literal goosebumps and cried during the final bit where she returns to her bus stop story and I’ve been thinking about it, and her, since I watched it. I’ll have to…
NEVER EVER THREATEN MASCARA AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE THIRTY-FOUR YEAR OLD MOMS ARE NOT ONES WITH THE MONEY OR TIME FOR EXPENSIVE LASH TREATMENTS. BE CAUTIOUS!
Three games.
Goodbye abortion rights...
FFS, no one erased the books. They just aren’t naming an award after her anymore.
How does changing the name of an award whitewash history? The books she wrote and others about her life still exists by the thousands, as do all the source documents. I don’t think many rely on the name of an award in order to keep history in mind.
To be clear, literally all they did was take her name off a prize.
Oh come off it. No one is censoring her work.
Yeah, we know. Trump was elected because racist people want to keep being racist and celebrate racist people.
Personally, I think it is VERY important that kids see racism, sexism etc in action so they can understand what it looks like and why it’s wrong. I wouldn’t let a kid read these books totally unsupervised, but I wouldn’t rule them out entirely. I got a lot of my love of the outdoors and desire to do things like cook,…
Change the fucking name.
I agree that this is a really clunky slogan that doesn’t make much sense, but I think it’s supposed to be a reference to the book/movie “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)”. It’s still pretty clunky but maybe makes a little more sense in that context?
