He got canceled, came back to make a movie that got canceled because Bill Murray was being a massive creep on set, and THEN ruined his ACTUAL big comeback with beloved actors Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, and Keke Palmer to do a quick set for Saudi Arabia. he’s addicted to fucking up

It felt like Aziz Nasari was mostly free of his MeToo rep but then he does Riyadh it's so funny it's like he got used to be being cancelled and couldn't live without it like Brooks on the outside in Shawshank Redemption lol

The two extremes of early Gothic literature:
Anne Radcliffe - all these seemingly supernatural events, while significant and important, were really just mundane
Matthew Gregory Lewis - look, it's the Actual Devil

this is the classic power move of a manager who works about an hour a day but wants to create the impression they are working from sunrise to sunset

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
