A cameo for skinny prewar Steve Rogers? That would be fun

Fitz-Simmons, the best Marvel couple, are sadly separated and I do not favor this. However, badass Jemma in survival/ reprisal mode is something that I enjoy quite a bit as well. I liked Daisy (has she always been the emotional heart of the team?) trying to reconnect with the distant, struggling Jemma and almost doing…

The one thing nagging at me is that Hydra didn’t infiltrate SHIELD through the Malick family, at least not at first; it infiltrated through *Arnim Zola*, who is in Europe right now rising up through the ranks of the Reich. Pulling the Malick “thread” won’t prevent Operation Paperclip from happening; either FDR or…

I’m submitting this piece for a Pulitzer.

The Cosby v. Murphy war of words has been going on for decades. It actually would have been odd had Murphy not dipped into that well in his monologue. The fact that Cosby took offense is pretty much inconsequential — who really cares what Bill Cosby thinks at this point, other than his lawyer?

Pryor certainly did more for comics, but it’s hard to understate the significance of Cosby - especially during the 80s and 90s - per trailblazing.

“Richard Pryor: Do the people laugh when you say what you say?
Eddie: Yes.
Richard: Do you get paid?
Eddie: Yes.
Richard. Then tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up, the jello-pudding-eating motherfucker.”

Two things.

Bill Cosby needs to have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

I believe this is because of a well-known psychological concept called transference. Basically, you attribute to others the very thing you are in fact guilty of. See also: Donald Trump.

What gets me the most is this self-aggrandizing assumption by Cosby (through his spokescroney) that Eddie Murphy couldn’t possibly have found success if Cosby hadn’t “broken barriers” for him. Anyone who says Eddie Murphy isn’t a comedy genius is a miserable, lying trash-heap. If Cosby hadn’t broken barriers... Eddie…

More than one Black comic has a negative story to tell about Cosby along with all the other people besides his rape victims to come and say ‘America’s Dad’ was/is really an asshole. He’s an elitist who took joy shitting on his own. One of those crabs in barrel who believes there can only be ONE. His fame and money…

I guess here's where Bill has a Coke and a smile and shuts the fuck up

Hell, George Carlin probably had more influence on Murphy than Cosby.

The poster child for respectability politics and “uplift suasion” is calling someone else a “coon?”

Eddie Murphy literally said nothing that directly criticized Cosby, nor did he call him any names. He simply pointed out the irony that the fucker is in jail, which is nothing but a cold hard fact. Cosby can’t handle people saying that fact out loud in front of an audience; what does that say about the fragility of…

I’m going to head out on a limb and suggest that Richard Pryor blazed a trail for Murphy far more than Cosby did.

So his spokesmen defense was that Cosby did a few ground breaking things in entertainment so we should give him a pass for the stuff he’s done.

Bitter, party of one.

Bill needs to have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.
