This morning on Cracked (too lazy to fix Kinja links, I’m sure a search engine could get you there), a pair of article headlines back to back:

It’s not remotely surprising. Aside from Marc Maron, virtually every stand-up went radio silent when Louis C.K. admitted he’s an abuser, but they all of course had plenty to say about his right to return to the stage less than a year later.

The WGA reacted angrily to the announcement, saying: “Comedy Central forcing Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert back on the air will not give the viewers the quality shows they’ve come to expect.”

I fully acknowledge that I don’t know the mechanics of unions and striking as I’ve never had a union job, but I don’t see how this isn’t scabbing, and I don’t see how she even attempted to explain how this isn’t scabbing. “We were made for sensitive times”? Okay...but you’re making a show that previously employed…

What kind of cultural currency do either of those people possess at this time?

I figure the argument is pretty simple; someone is getting paid for the success of the show on streaming media. Why shouldn’t it be the people who made it?

This is basically how comic companies treated their writers all the way from the 1930s till more recently.  It’s part of why Bill Finger, co-creator of Batman, died in poverty.

To all the people I’ve seen say things like “you got paid for your work, stop complaining!,” I offer you this:

You go to work at Big Button Push factory and you push the Big Button. This creates a thing that BBP sells. They pay you a minute percentage of that sale. Easy, right?

Aaron Paul pushed the Big Button once, and…

Ross and Rachel deserved each other in a save the rest of the world from Typhoid Mary by locking her up kind of way by pairing them off and hence sparing everyone else from either of them.

Why would he write a book and shit on her to this extent? How awful for her to read this now.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?

I thought her being awful and awkward with everyone including Ross was the entire point...!

Legend has it you’re still in the theater watching it to this day

Funny, I’ve always disliked Wiig even though she’s clearly talented - couldn’t get into her in SNL, didn’t like Bridesmaids. But I really enjoyed Barb and Star, it felt like a modern Bill and Ted or Wayne’s World, and I laughed a bunch and was smiling through the whole thing. Just depends how things hit you with…

Palm Springs is one of the best comedies of the past decade, absolutely.

Tbh just watch it with your kids or like any nieces or nephews. I hadn’t seen it in a while, and though I absolutely adored it (it’s part of the reason my brother and I both wanted dogs our whole lives), it was more fun to watch it with someone’s new perspective as well. They weren’t as amused as I expected, but they…

You didn’t like Homeward Bound? Jesus... 

yeah i see this movie championed a lot and i don’t get it. i don’t even dislike it, but i don’t like it very much either. palm springs is a funnier, equally high concept recent comedy that seems to have basically already been memory-holed.
