He did, by his own admission, know “enough to say something” about Harvey Weinstein. I don’t think that’s atypical for people in his position, but that doesn’t excuse him either.

Tarantino seems to have had the same problem as a few other people, such as Kevin Smith: he was so grateful to Weinstein for basically starting his career that it partially blinded him to Weinstein's depredations. It's another element of why Weinstein went unpunished for as long as he did.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was actually in reference to some completely random episode that had nothing to do with cops, but they came back from the break and started making fun of how the WA police had bought ad time on a previous episode — about on par with that one time where Bloomberg tried to advertise on Worst Year Ever and they just spent the entire time roasting the gently caress out of him as a candidate.

Unfortunately 'true crime' can refer to a lot of things, and the majority of the most popular stuff (especially when it comes to podcasts) is of the, "trust no one, buy a security system, never help a stranger, put your DNA in a database, always cooperate with cops, it's wine o'clock somewhere!" variety. It sucks because everyone knows the best episodes of Forensic Files are the ones where it turns out the cops lacked basic competence and couldn't stop accusing the same guy for no reason even as an absurd amount of evidence piled up to the contrary.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

i mean so are alot of true crime podcasts to varying degrees outside that sword and scale fuckhead.

the only one i like is last podcast on the left and they are way way broader then true crime and outside their like first year or so, genuinly well made and interesting.

Robert mentioning Ben Garrison today made me think he could make for a good episode. Although I'm sure he's not terribly impressive or interesting, his comics are rife for ridicule (also of course you'll want to be sure to mention the cum edits)

And then thinking about that rear end in a top hat made me realize there's a much better cartoonist target: Scott Adams. Now that would make for a good episode. What the gently caress happened to Dilbert's Dad to make him such a fuckwit?? I'd love to hear that story covered by Robert

An episode on terrible political cartoonists could be pretty interesting. I don't think Garrison or Adams could fill an episode, but throw in someone like Lester and maybe you have one!

The problem with doing an episode on cartoonists is how much time you could end up spending on describing a cartoon that the audience can't see.

How lame is it when Alex Jones spends a bunch of time talking about a meme he printed out and framed but you can't see so he just crappily describes it?

The difference could be if there are enough cartoonists with real world lovely elements to their lives like Bruce Tinsley's drunk driving.

In 2006, Tinsley was arrested twice for driving while intoxicated, once in August and again in December, both Class A misdemeanors. After the December incident, he attacked the sentencing judge, Roderick McGillivray, in several of his comics.

Oh yeah, he's a regular Michael Crichton.

But there maybe isn't enough on just Bruce Tinsley (or Michael Crichton) for a full episode... But if you could string together a few more lovely people then maybe.

Came up in the Politoons thread

quote:


REPEAT AFTER ME, VACCINES ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE UNTIL THEY’RE NOT

Scott Adams, the creator of the popular comic strip ‘Dilbert,’ defended getting vaccinated against Covid because he believes in science. Apparently the cartoonist and self-proclaimed hypnotist was himself hypnotized by the legacy media and corrupt medical experts such as Fauci. They convinced him to get the jabs. Had he carried out any kind of independent research, he might have made a smarter decision.

I didn’t know any of this since I no longer follow Adams, and he blocked GrrrGraphics on his twitter feed back in 2019, but I came across a disturbing video that he posted on YouTube. He may be experiencing some injection remorse, but his pride will not let him admit it. Not completely. He begrudgingly said we anti-vax types may be right, but we were right ‘accidentally’ and we’re still stupid compared to him. Fine—that’s his opinion and he’s entitled to it.

What disturbed me most was watching him launch into a blistering, purple-faced tirade while using extremely foul language—just because some woman on the streaming comment section questioned his wisdom for getting the experimental and grossly under-tested mRNA pokes. He called the woman the ‘C’ word and insulted her husband and family. It was grotesque to hear him say these things and I will not repost his words here.

Then he seemed to collect himself and I even thought he would apologize to the lady and his audience, but no. He seem to take satisfaction with his foul-mouthed performance. He said it would cost him about $1,000 because YouTube would no doubt demonetize his segment, but he said it was ‘worth it.’ At this point the little respect I had for Adams plummeted. Does he have any idea how many conservatives have been demonetized then banned completely from social media just because they did their research and were trying to tell the truth about the vaccines? Isn’t it telling that Adams was thinking at that moment not of the health or free speech of others but rather the money he might lose? Adams is a millionaire fifty times over and he’s married to a supermodel half his age, yet THAT was his concern? Dogbert would not approve.

4chan’s ‘/pol’ promptly raked Adams through the coals and I know what that’s like, but Adams truly deserved their rebuke. Adams fancies himself a man of brilliance, but he failed to do his homework on the Covid vaccines, which are neither safe nor effective. They are killing a great many.

I’m three months older than Adams, but this isn’t a Boomer thing. It’s a vax cult vs. vax freedom and we will probably see the divide widened still further as time goes on. The pro-vax camp tends to demonize the anti-vaxxers. Apparently their vaccines won’t work until everyone has had them.

I will never take the jabs and I have natural immunity, having had Covid last summer. Scott appears to be in good physical shape. With all his millions of dollars he can certainly afford to got to the gym and work on his tan. That’s great. He could easily survive Covid like I did, but he instead chose to get dangerous substances jammed into his arm. Good luck with that, decision, Scott. I think we should have the freedom of choice and once we relinquish that the totalitarians will control our health for us. I want the final say about what goes into my body, but people such as Fauci and Gates want to make that decision for us.

If Adams is truly are as smart as he says he is, he will admit he made a mistake. Oh—and have more respect for women. C’mon, man…apologize.

— Ben Garrison
