What opinions need to be given a voice? Can you tell us more about the opinions stifled and needing to be aired more fully?

I still just can’t get over watching Musk and his little angel investor pals show how completely, absolutely, horrifyingly clueless they are about how businesses WORK.

What’s that? Having a bunch of money doesn’t magically make you smarter than everyone? No way! But don’t worry, making a few million a year off…

It’s supposed to be funny, particularly if you read to the end to see the flipped take, but it doesn’t do a lot for me. Which is fine, as an article doesn’t need to, but I think they felt like it’d read better than it does since the vibe just ends up being exhausting for the first half. Oh well.

If you’re a marginalized person with not a hell of a lot by way of community - or just a bit of a loner socially - social networks may be fucking hellscapes, but it’s still better than absolutely nothing. “Find a Discord!” “Go to Mastodon” is also just useless advice to people who don’t *know folks*.

I had a great…

I think there are a lot of folks who think that, in Ye’s case, getting better will mean he’s magically no longer a bigot.

It’s not going to be how that works.

It’s the kind of interesting thing here - I know some folks have charitably wondered if he was referencing an idea of Keanu we had a long time ago, but Keanu was a punchline for perceptions about his acting abilities (in Shakespeare and in Dracula, mainly) but as someone who’s been a fan of his since, well, Speed -…

I wonder if all Depp’s checks to her even cleared? Yeesh.

I really, really need people to get this - I keep seeing “well, she signed a waiver” and waivers are not get out of jail free cards. 

It can totally depend. I had an abuser go through several moments when his abuse was made extremely public and he didn’t seem stressed about it, but then at a later point when it was revealed to a specific sort of audience he’d been cultivating with a different persona, yeah, uh, he suddenly admitted that maybe he had…

You mean to tell me that a cis guy who is a sexual predator going after teenage girls was able to just do it without being trans? Wow, weird, I thought the whole reason we had to make sure trans people stop existing is because of vague, weird, hypothetical threats we think trans women might pose to the world even as…

I almost corrected you and then thought “no, I bet you read that too fast, why would they be wrong?” and sure enough. I’ve never heard of that in my life, let alone someone getting it and being mad that there are whites. What on earth.

Who on this planet likes this guy’s comedy? No one ever admits to it!

It’s extremely frustrating that serial predators are built up as some sort of unknowable deviant masterminds we can’t possibly crack when the reality is just: police really, really, really, really, really, really, really suck at their jobs. 

For the love of god montresor if you have to preface your article with a cutting remark about the level of drama, can you just stop and think whether or not the article needs to be written? What even IS this? This is nothing. What the fuck is Jez anymore, really?

The article mentions this, but the weirdest damn thing to me is that they already tried once to “attack” him with this voicemail - it came out right around the election, I thought? And the response then was quite fairly what it is now: what the fuck is wrong with anyone who wants to laugh at this?

I think Biden’s an…

Don’t mind me, I’m just thinking back to the A/V club comments about cancel culture going too far and ruining poor Bill here because it obviously couldn’t be serious, as if these people have never heard anything about Bill in their entire lives. 

I’m not exactly sure what the point of your comment is, then, if you’re admonishing us to not respond to Lizzo’s statement in any way yet you’ve slid yours in right off the bat to say “I don’t have a feeling either way, but should she have said it?”

Does it matter that she said it? This is a woman who gets shit for…

Valley is Jewish, and the reason for disliking him is wholly rooted in upholding Israel as an apartheid state. It’s as simple as that; Valley’s just pissed off a lot of people by not supporting Israel. Many Jews feel that those of us who do not espouse Zionist beliefs are not real or good Jews or that we are…

You may dislike him, but plenty of other Jews appreciate Eli. Was what he said in this case incorrect?

We’ve been saying for years that the anti-Semitism was getting more and more overt and for years I was told I was “looking for reasons to be divisive” or imagining it. Plenty of liberal folks very eager to tell me their racist-ass relatives weren’t actually so bad. Economic anxiety my ass. I’m so frustrated and the…

Glad we waited for the last paragraph to actually mention that he’s a goddamn sexual predator. Excellent! But about that on-set decorum,
