I wasn’t a fan of how Garofalo was treated but I think it’s a little broad to say
“she was a woman, so everyone hated her.” When she attacked one of Fred Wolff’s sketches as sexist and attacked him it the writer’s room one week, Wolff had a natural right to defend himself. His argument for why his sketch wasn’t sexist…

That’s great, it’s too bad they also run a high kill shelter there. Don’t ever surrender a pet to them, especially a cat.

PETA runs a high kill shelter in Norfolk Virginia called PETA’s Community Animal Project. They got in big trouble for not telling people that there is a very high likelihood that the pet they surrender to the shelter will be killed. If you live in or near Norfolk and can no longer care for your pet, and want your pet…

PETA is a trash organization that cares more about publicity for themselves than animal welfare. They are the nonprofit equivalent of a gutter tabloid. This is the organization that tricked people into surrendering beloved family pets to them and then brutally killed those pets pretty immediately, while lying about it…

Yup. Pete pretty much said what I would’ve said to Daphna. 

98% of the dogs on petfinder:

I agree. I always wonder if they have any kind of real research to show their extreme tactics accomplish anything positive at all.

“If Pete had done his research, he would know that there’s no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, that at least a quarter of dogs in shelters are purebreds, and that Petfinder has listings for homeless dogs of every breed under the sun, including the one he purchased.”

So is Jez’s love affair with everything Pete Davidson finally over or...?

On another note, PETA can absolutely get fucked. As far as I’m concerned, they’re right up there with the Proud Boys in terms of shitty groups of shitty people.

peta is a terrible organization that turns off most people to the idea of animal rights and shouldn’t be calling out individuals just buying a pet. bother farming  corporations and big box pet stores that still sell animals.

Poptimism was/is a curse. It's lifting though.

She’s not solely responsible, but she certainly pushes the ideal.  

Yeah, that doesn’t seem the right way to go about it, particularly if the curator has a bone to pick with the artist they’re highlighting. It’s so easy to cherry-pick the things that prove your point. It’s like Fox News* calling itself “fair and balanced” when we all know they have an obvious agenda.

It’s true, but it still hurts to see it written out 

She has an UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE in Art History, which is exactly what I have and about a million other Americans who were underachieving dilettantes in college.

I wouldn’t say I’m a huge Gadsby fan or detractor, but it is mystifying why anyone would want to highlight her Picasso fixation, which (as a miserable MFA myself) I always though was easily the weakest aspect of Nanette.

Probably should have gotten someone with a degree in art history, agreed.

They’re too busy turning the color of an avocado when he drives down their street in his El Dorado.

I can’t remember the context of the Picasso criticism in Nanette, but mostly what I remember about that special is trying to explain why I hated it as nicely as possible to the person who *very* enthusiastically showed it to me.

You missed the worst 1983 sequel!
