lol Yeah! The world! So black and white! No degrees of right and wrong!

No one will ever be able to check all the boxes. So, who gets to determine who we admire or don’t admire? Where is the big book of feminism that has laid out all the rules that they have to meet? Neither of these things exist. So, we each need to determine for ourselves is the answer I guess. Your demarcation

A classic example of how even amazing people rarely fit neatly into our world view. She is a very talented filmmaker. Her movies are provocative and artistically unique. She lives her own life in a way that holds up well to the ideals of feminism, her art however doesn’t always fit in as nicely. So, I do what I

The thing that really grinds my corn is that, inevitably, some gun worshipping wingnut will blame the kid/family for not having “proper education in gun safety”, even though they never owned one. Yet, when actual NRA staffers blow holes in themselves at sanctioned safety events, the gun “just went off”.

Stop this voice of reason. We are here to bash Louis for a skit he probably didn’t write.

You don’t know that. Not everyone who commits suicide shows signs of depression to the public. Very successful people like herself have issues just like everyone else.

This is exactly what I’m looking for. I only knew a little bit about it and wanted to see what you guys knew. Thank you!

You mean the ones originating from an anonymous person saying that their friend/s told them it happened, as reported on Gawker* by (of course) Jordan Sargent? It seems that is what RB was referring to when she said “I’ve heard so many stories”.

From what I recall, there was nothing more than rumors (nobody actually

Hmm... I don’t know what’s worse: a knee-jerk defense of someone or reflexively attacking them (and their fans).

Yeah, I also find it hard to believe that she was the first person ever to come up with the idea of a clown doing a show just for one person.

I have a harder time believing Louis, SNL, or anyone involved would do this on purpose knowing the giant backlash that awaits them on social media. People love to overthrow someone other people like (louis is very popular) in favor of wronged and righteous victim.

Does anyone know how writing credits on SNL work? Everyone keeps calling it “Louis CK’s clown sketch” but do we know if he actually wrote it?

Maybe it’s my trust issues, but I have a tough time believing people who say they played Banjo recently and loved it, especially when they say that they also loved it back when it came out. It wasn’t a terrible game by any means, but in the grand scheme of things it is pretty average. More annoying than outstanding.

“but as a philosophy professor”

Heather, can I just say that I really appreciate that you include the transcript with these videos? I like having the option to read or watch the video (which is largely dictated by whether or not I’m at work or not).

Look, I respect your opinion (not sarcasm) but is *this particular article* really what pushed you over the line? What’s said here is not even an unpopular/hot-takey opinion about this particular game across the internet.

“Slave cabin? Um, I think you mean On-Premise Worker Habitat.”

Persona 5 is not a major award.

Yes, that’s one of the reasons. The 286th reason, actually. I appreciate your acknowledgement of my properly placed priorities, but my name isn’t Mac.

Reason #286 that I’ll never have children.
