Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





quote:

The show’s announcement followed his beef with UKTV for removing an episode of his show Faulty Towers from streaming for its use of racial slurs in 2020.

without looking im going to guess: its the episode with the Germans, because the Major tells a bizarre story about the only date he ever went on getting into an argument with him about what slur they should call the Indians at a cricket match

if you gave the story to Frank Reynolds on Sunny you wouldnt need to change a word, but you would need any characters within earshot to go "what the gently caress are you talking about you insane bigot" which notably does not happen on the Fawlty Towers episode

the Makaya McCraven Gil Scott-Heron album is on Spotify and its very good.

Do you think that after, or maybe before, someone goes on a date with Taylor Swift a record label guy shows up and gives them a big bag of money and instructions on when to cheat to maximize song writing angst?

Do you think Swift knows about it or is she slowly losing her mind about everyone shes ever dated cheating on her or otherwise breaking up?

Good morning, still vibing off of Taylor, I like that Down Bad song. Really drives home the point that I'm the same age as her and she like gets me man.

I was reminded of another band that's similar but different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjZuykKY1I

I was then informed that they had a 20th Anniversary (ahhhh I'm old) where Ed Sheeran guest sang Love Is Only A Feeling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzhJ4y1iFgg

Lookit these misshapen British men with beautiful voices. Ah best Glam Rock Revival band in the whole game.

Saw the People's Joker last night, absolutely recommend it if you can see it. The basic premise is that Vera Drew plays "herself" as a small boy who lives in Smallville and moves to Gotham to become a UCB Joker, a parody of SNL run by a CGI Lorne Michaels voiced by Maria Bamford. The only way you can be a comedian is by joining UCB after Batman outlawed all other comedy. They end up forming an anti-comedy troupe with The Penguin and fall in love with Mistah J, Jason Todd, and deciding to go from Clown to Harlequin and perform illegal comedy. It's a discussion of her experience as a trans woman and the places they look for acceptance like bad relationships and cult-like comedy groups. Experimental, low production during covid so there are scenes that are obviously filmed separately and put together. Sometimes it swaps to animation, a lot of things filmed in front of green screens, poison ivy and Lorne Michaels are both terrible cgi as a creative choice. It can be uneven but helps ad to the surrealist nature.

Also David Liebe Hart plays Ra's Al Ghoul except he's the most famous comedian in the world and has an obvious Borat parody called "Ra's Al Ghouls foreign man"

Manhattan Turn, a 25-year-old Swiftie in Alberta, Canada, says she’s walked away from friendships with the feeling that no one “gets it.” Turn started listening to Swift in 2020 while going through a difficult situationship. After her college best friend went through her own breakup in 2021, Turn suggested that she, too, listen to Swift. “But every time I played Taylor’s songs, she’d roll her eyes or change the subject,” she says. Tension built in the friendship after Turn’s now-ex-friend called her “stupid” for flying to Europe for Swift’s tour. When she didn’t come to Turn’s 25th-birthday party in April 2023, their ten-year friendship was over.

At least there are the friends who can overcome their Swifterences. One 28-year-old from New York who we’ll call Oliver got into a heated debate with his brother’s girlfriend last year over a comparison she made about Swift. While out at a bar, she broached the topic of Swift by saying she had a “hot take” to share. Then she blurted out: “Taylor Swift is to white women what Drake is to Black men.” Both Oliver and his brother were taken aback. They immediately started defending Drake, even though Oliver didn’t want to be “that guy” and didn’t even consider himself a loyal Drake fan. “It ruined the rest of the evening and it was the sheer power of Taylor Swift,” he says, adding that he views her as a “litmus test” for society: “She’s someone who can reap all the benefits of identity politics and never have to legitimately put their neck out.”





I get the comparison. Drake is exclusively for white women to listen to as well

If the take results in your audience defending Drake against the comparison, how is your conclusion a victory for Swift

It sounds more like associating Drake with Swift came off as an attack on him rather than a positive for her
