It’s her only available remedy under the law, and you feel for her, so why did you also feel the need to label her perfectly reasonable and understandable action “creepy”?

1. Heche’s kids didn’t earn that money. It’s appropriate for debts to be paid from the estate before the heirs get what’s left.

“Heche’s kids weren’t the ones who were negligent.” Right. But why should they get a big inheritance and benefit financially from the accident, while the victim is left out in the cold? When Anne Heche died, she left a lot of money behind. Giving it all to her kids without giving any to the victim seems pretty…

When someone says “I’m as leftist as one can be...” you know you’re about to hear the most MAGA-ass opinion you’ve heard all day. It’s just another version of “I’m not racist, but...”

Ah yes I’m sure someone who says “Jew friends” is totally a leftist. 

Chappelle has straight-up said in some bits that, essentially, other marginalized groups in America need to line up behind Black people before they can air their grievances. I believe he said as much in the 2016 post-election show, in the context of feminism.

No one needs to be told why they’re less disadvantaged bc there’s people out there who aren’t. You can acknowledge both when there’s a time & place for them. That’s like saying I’m depressed but there’s people with terrible lives in the world and my depression is less depressed/of value than others. You don’t ever…

I think the problem people have with your view (or more the way you present it) is you do so as a logic problem where everything is a zero-sum game. It misses the entire problem in the debate which is a lack of empathy or willingness to look for empathy. It’s the desire to score points off the other guy, to reduce it…

Well... I walked in expecting transphobia, it was subtly still there, but I mostly got antisemitism and a rich man defending two other rich men who are angry they are worth less because of there own stupidity. Dave, maybe don’t defend someone who adored Hitler and who doesn't believe the holocaust ever happened…

You’re right. He explicitly said that Jews do not control Hollywood. And then spent ten minutes implying that in fact they do.

So Ye’s mistake wasn’t spouting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, it was speaking the truth out loud? Holy shit - I already thought Chapelle was an asshole, but it looks like he’s ascended to a whole new level. Anyone who decides to continue giving this guy a platform can go fuck themselves.

“White transgender people (which were, at one point I shall endeavor to remind - white men).” I believe you don’t understand what the word “transgender” means, or indeed, based on that sentence, the word “people”.

“Punching up” by making fun of racists is fine. Punching down by attacking Jewish people and the LGBTQIA+ community (the term is “transgender”, not “transgendered”, btw) who are also regularly attacked or even killed for simply existing is not. That’s being a bully. That’s Kanye and Chappelle losing every shrapnel of…

“He’s allowed to do it because he’s a great comedian” may actually be the stupidest argument I’ve seen on the internet in the past week, so... congrats on sliding under that incredibly low bar, I guess?

Really pleased to see The Eurythmics here. Such a shame that people don’t know who they (or Lenox) is.

Agreed! There’s not really a bad Eurythmics album, but I feel as though the three years’ run of “Be Yourself Tonight” (1985) “Revenge” (1986) and “Savage” (1987) ranks among the strongest consecutive album trio of pretty much any performer or band.

Duran Duran described their sound as “Chic meets the Sex Pistols,”

Wrong! She has a very distinctive, lovely voice that fits her music well. Bob Dylan isn't a good singer, but look what he accomplished. 

With regards to Eurythmics - I’d throw another album of theirs into the mix - Savage. It’s a, well, naughtily experimental album by Stewart and Lennox, wasn’t as successful as their previous albums but still gave us some really solid performances with songs like You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart, I Need a Man (don’t…

Here’s your star, Dad.
