So much this. Took my girls (7 and 4) to their first hockey game a few months ago. This was AHL. Before the game we were looking at the Zambonis parked by the side of the rink and the security guard kinda laughed and gave them a little wave. We head back to our seats and about ten minutes later the same dude walks up

This type of thing and little kids getting baseballs at baseball games are the high-water mark of humanity for me.

It is not uncommon to see strangers stop to help a person with a baby stroller carry it down the stairs

yeah i saw comments on wapo and vulture that were like “oh my god, calm down, it’s just jokes, worry about something real” and while i refrain from clapping back there, here i’ll say that that’s not why people are mad— people are mad at him for masquerading as an ally and progressive and the second he gets called to

Yup. So disgusting. I also feel like he’s doing a “fine, I’ll take my ball and go home then!” The “my life is ruined” line tells me this is 100% a conscious fuck you to the people who loved his comedy before. He’s throwing a tantrum, and using survivors of a school shooting as a vehicle for it. 

You’re not interesting because you jerked off in front of women for decades. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting. You didn’t get your career ruined by a vindictive creep. You spent 20 years harassing your colleagues and threatening them with retaliation and now I gotta

He knows the liberal progressive audiences that were once his bread and butter will never fully take him back no matter how well he performed contrition, so he swings the pendulum the other way. It shouldn’t the least bit surprising, I’ve yet to see a repeat abuser opt for self-reflection and accountability over

Yea, it’s the difference between punching up vs, punching down. If all your comedy relies on old harmful tropes, and if you can hear your grandpa yelling it over the thanksgiving dinner table, then it isn’t fucking funny. It’s fucking lazy AND unoriginal.  You are just an asshole that wants a spotlight for your

I wish George Carlin was still alive. I could actually kind of see him saying that one line - “you’re not interesting. You didn’t get shot.” - and spinning it into some good commentary about the media or human nature rather than that unfunny, cringey hack job Louis CK gave us.  Carlin was the master of shocking you

I’m closer to a decade older and I thank my lucky stars that my soul hasn’t rotted me from the inside out like his is apparently doing.

Hi! Sorry your experience at Jezebel was less than perfect. We’re working on correcting the typo, and we’d like to invite you and your friends back, on the house. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

This evening, my friends and I wanted to really experience the feminist side of the internet so we went to Jezebel. There aren’t enough words to describe how awful it was.

I’m 5 years older than him.

We’re the same age and I’m cracking up. I may have more grey hairs now but at least they’re miiiiiine hahahah.

I (smugly) can't believe that I'm four years older than this dude.

THREE pints of babies blood!

Miller feelin’ so fine about his appearance today he’s probably going to celebrate tonight by killing two hookers.

Thanks for this. I think Britney speaks for all of us. If I were a more cynical person, I might think that this whole Seacrest thing is a story created to affirm his heterosexuality while capitalizing on the Me Too movement. I notice he doesn’t plan to sue her for defamation.

She is a treasure.

Being gay doesn’t mean a guy can’t sexually harass a woman. Some of the worst misogynists out there are gay men.
