YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!
cancel culture isn’t even a real thing so it’s handwringing about a mostly empty threat.

which is usually how handwringing goes granted

the thing is, despite the doomsaying bullshit the only people who have ever been ~cancelled~ were for legit awful things, no one is actually getting their career ruined because some dork dug up the time the made a lame joker on twitter.

we can't do anything about dan crensaw getting lionized, but we can get a mid-level comedian fired for making fun of chinese food, so let's focus on that instead

moderately annoying

one of the greatest plights in comedy today is the fact that people can go back, look at things that comedians have said in the past and call them assholes for saying it. this is an entirely new phenomenon known as "cancel culture" and comedy as a field is still trying to come to terms with it.

No, it was "Mueller, Baby" and it's not close. SNL is so weird because 1/4th of the sketches are really really brilliant and a lot of people think the 90s/early 2000s were good when they really weren't at all, but 3/4 of the sketches now are so abysmal #sponcon that it drags the rest of the show down.

Weekend Update is, however, at its peak smug worst, and only Pete Davidson saves it when he's on WU.

yeah thats pretty good


What's with the woke astrology thing? Like I know what happened in terms of timeline but like Reagan and Murdoch are perfectly comfortable with astrology, it's less threatening to traditional power structures than tax cuts and action movies.
