Yes I do block pretty liberally, in accordance with Scripture

such an appetite for "humble everyman humiliates PROVES EXPERTS wrong" stories that people will invent them whole cloth, and it really distorts people's view of reality. Frito Lay food scientists invented hot Cheetos, but a guy who just straight up lied about doing so got a movie

It’s cool that Afroman is a Free Speech Warrior but not in the “I want to say the R-Word” kind of way, but “I want to write funny songs about my local police office” kind of way.

The name of Marc Andreessen's memoir:

Whoever it was who said, "Cancel Culture will end when it comes for them," deserves to be knighted.

The Maine Senate race is kind of a perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party's problem. The establishment gathering around an old, not especially popular party stalwart and the activists gathering around a highly flawed charismatic newcomer. Anyway, congrats Susan Collins.

@ZODIAC_MF Maybe next he's got a real knee-slapper about how movie blankets go up to the shoulders on women but only the torso on men

HACK SHIT RICHARD. SERIOUS HACK SHIT

When I looked up this thread to add to it I listened to "that's biology" again. I know these guys are pros but I don't know how they continued the episode after that. If I'd been in that room I'd have ruptured a kidney

Andrew "Lord" Webber is such a great character because like 70% of the humor has nothing to do with the real ALW, it's just Tompkins' caricature of a pretentious British man

The inability of the Comedy Bang Bang crew to hide their laughter at each other's improvs is paradoxically the show's best asset

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it

You don't see broke people wearing barrels with suspenders anymore

2000 Mules? You mean the movie that led to: - a large defamation settlement - the distributor issuing a public apology & pulling the film from distribution after admitting its key assertions weren't backed by evidence - Dinesh D'Souza apologizing in 2024 to a man falsely portrayed as a "mule," where he publicly acknowledged that parts of the film were based on inaccurate information & faulty analysis (like unlinked surveillance videos and geolocation data)? I have seen it. But its entire evidentiary foundation has been widely debunked by investigations, independent fact checks, Republican election officials, and again, D'Souza himself admitting significant flaws in how the evidence was presented. So ya, 2000 Mules changes nothing about my opinion on election fraud. This was proven to be an embarrassing grift.

there already was. they tortured that hairdresser and it was like, at most, 2 days of outrage

I can think of a certain unprogressive sexual predator who got off the hook

"we will not innovate our way out of disease" has me so perplexed because like

I dare you to guess what this is in response to
