Yes I do block pretty liberally, in accordance with Scripture

The hidden force:

@JustinSadur I would not want to associate with Lovecraft as he was in real life and insta-block people with his views now but if he had grown up as a well-adjusted normie the literary world would be immeasurably poorer

@SonnyBunch If you want to permanently immunize yourself against this sort of tiresom moralizing, become a fan of Lovecraft. His flaws as a person were so vast and so well known that you will be forced to confront them early on, and judge his work in spite of that.

Separating art and artist is easy. Accepting that an artist has failings and that’s probably part of what makes them great is harder. (See, eg, the Mel Gibson/APOCALYPTO discussion yesterday.)

@rotaborn Well, there was one episode where it was revealed he had a special liquid (a barbecue sauce) that made people horny

@SonnyBunch When The Cosby Show was pulled from syndication, I thought maybe I was odd for not fully getting the logic behind the move. (Though I’m guessing Cosby’s criminal inclinations weren’t essential to his ability to create it.)

I can’t hear anyone talk about Star Wars Day anymore without thinking about this video:

Absolutely incredible. No notes.

He would not fucking say that

I think it's fine if villains attend charity balls because the protagonist can meet them there in an early scene.

i feel like when you say "yeah phones are bad but tbh we should have never even had TV or radio" you're kind of pissing in the wind a bit. they put the simpsons on TV, if you remember

It should be painful to patriots to see America descend into a juvenile farce.

?? 😭

@jonfavs i just think we should consider how liberals would react if a republican walked around with a nazi tattoo, bragged about it years ago, and then apologized once he ran for office. we'd be screaming bloody murder and rightfully so. so...how is it okay when platner does it?

these will be found at the scene

Because I’m getting older, my audience is getting older. They’ve had to stop my shows five times in the last two years because somebody collapses. So they turn the lights on and I say call 911. Nobody has a phone because they put them in those canvas bags with a lock. So I gotta call 911. He says is there a doctor in that room? I said I don’t know. I don’t like crowd work. He goes is the guy breathing? I’ve got the mic so I don’t wanna be too disrespectful to the guy that could be dead. He said can you get close to him? I said I don’t know how long the cord is on the mic. The paramedics arrived. He did die but still I got some good laughs out of it.

if I was in charge of the Met Gala theme I think I’d choose something like Rick Moranis Movies

On the one hand, Trump does say shit like this. On the other, this lady is a huge liar. Skepticism is warranted.

Hate when your browser asks if you want to save a password that you entered wrong. Read the room.

@CJohnsonAELI Also:

@CJohnsonAELI Like that old joke about the German exchange student who when the subject of the Holocaust comes up, solemnly says his grandfather died in a concentration camp... by falling off a guard tower

have to post this every time
