Perhaps the likes of Chappelle, Ansari and CK felt there was less at stake because, by their own estimation, they have already suffered cancellation. Except that their exile from public life appears to include fresh Netflix specials and Grammy awards. Louis CK should count himself lucky; if he’d been caught with his dick in his hand in Najd, rather than Colorado, he may well have retained neither of those appendages (punitive limb amputation is an actual thing).

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

And my last piece of work for the week:

For my @xtramagazine.com monthly column, I wrote about Bari Weiss' new job at CBS News and how its emblematic of the media industry's decade long disintegration: xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Bari Weiss’s hiring at CBS signals a much bigger problem | Xtra Magazine

CBS is crumbling under the weight of a billionaire and his favourite news lackey. This is emblematic of the larger issues facing U.S. media

That man is in a bind. A double or triple bind. He’s so stuck.

It’s not great. We can maintain all the pressure we possibly can (this is going better than I expected!) and he can’t respond to it.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Today my trans existence is resistance shirt has gotten me:
1) a smile and nod from a woman ~my age.
2) a really unsubtle side-eye/glare from a priest (or guy in a priest's collar).
3) an exclamation from the woman who sold me pizza - "I love your shirt!" She repeated the message to her co-workers.

Bearded bespectacled white trans guy in a purple shirt at the airport. Shirt reads "trans existence is resistance" in white lettering.

You can tell that neither Noem or her stylist was worried one bit about violence while she was in Portland . She wore no helmet, no vest, heck not even safety eyewear ANYWHERE in Portland even while on the roof of the ice facility, surrounded by taller buildings. Bless her heart

🐸“You look at Portland and you see fires all over the place,” Trump said. “You see fights, I mean, just violence. It’s so crazy.…It’s so crazy. It’s like the movies you see for the kids, where you have these bombed-out cities and these bombed-out people.”🐸
