He was fired from Community because of his behavior. His apology for the sexual harassment that got him fired came years afterward but he’s now publicly acknowledged that was the issue when he could have let the idea that it was his feud with Chevy Chase continue. That’s been, he says, part of a journey that been…

He did a lot of terrible shit and has been trying to do better. One of the first steps is to acknowledge it.

Also: this seems to be an attempt to hurt a few careers in retaliation for Roseanne. I saw she’s tweeted in support of these campaigns and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were coordinated much like how celebrities will coordinate support for a statement they are planning to post to social media.

Look, you may think I was born on third base but let me tell you how hard I worked to get there. I had to pull myself out of that birth canal, no one was pushing me. Its something only I could have accomplished.

Yeah. I don’t have a problem with Gunn having to answer for his tweets (which he has) but letting someone like MC game some blatantly faked outrage and win is a really stupid move that should get undone.

Does he ever!

He was going after Michael Ian Black for jokes (among others) about pizza under the premise that “pizza” is a code word for child sex trafficking. I wonder if he’s shown a fraction of the compassion for migrant children separated from their parents that they’ve shown for the imaginary children being trafficked in a…

I lose no sleep over Gunn but I do worry about RWers who see “outrage” only as a culture war weapon. An alt-right provocateur who tweets rape jokes clearly only cares about what Gunn said as a cudgel against someone who has different politics. This is the second time he’s created a fake outrage to get someone fired…

By the way, YouTube makes this feature hard to find with a tiny button but in case anyone doesn’t know they can dismiss recommendations (but not search results) here’s how to do it:

From my experience, you don’t even have to show a minor interest in hearing fascists’ viewpoints for the YouTube algorithm to start pushing you in that direction.

I ended up liking Cult but unlike most AHS seasons, the first half drags and all the crazy twists come in the second half. Ironically, where I thought it got good was the part I was dreading — with Lena Dunham’s guest appearance. (She was actually really good.)

I watched her last reality show, Roseanne’s Nuts on Lifetime (see she was trying to turn the Macadamia Farm she purchased into a business so it was a double entendre) she seemed to be in a mental health crisis then and surrounded by people who care but didn’t know to step in because she controls their financial…

Yeah, I think I’d watch clips that show up on unofficial YouTube channels, but I’ll try to avoid to giving this production money just to see how bad it is.

I mean...

Sigh. It’s really a challenge finding treatment. We have add-on insurance that includes mental health coverage but there’s so little information available about the participating providers and all but three are therapists/social workers which (I don’t think?) helps when I think I need to talk to someone if I need some…

In a word, he’s corrupt, and no amount of political experience makes that acceptable. However, since he’s neck deep in the swamp and the swamp protects its own, no liberal or Democrat would dare try to unseat him. Enter Cynthia Nixon. She doesn’t have the experience Cuomo has, no, but she’s been around politics…

Speaking as someone from outside of the state, “experience” feels like a distraction when the opponent with experience seems to be running the state badly, partly because he cares more about politics than managing the state well.

Yeah, I really like Apu, too. I have a lot of affection for the character, I was always happy to see him get an episode. I think the white men who wrote The Simpsons at the time tried to do well with him. But that doesn’t change that the character became a way bullies harassed people like Hari Kondabolu, that the…

As a child, I was a future nerd so whenever my parents went to the mall and I got bored following them around, I’d tell them they could find me at Waldenbooks (or the local bookstore chain that closed in the late 90s). When I got older, I even signed up for their sci-fi readers’ club (there were clubs for different…

I’ve seen them in California and the southwest tho I think nowadays they’re combined Orange Julius/Dairy Queen franchises.
