        Amy & Jerry get how to do comedy. Louis CK does not. I put him in the same comedy category as Dennis Miller. No longer funny, sounds only like a bully. It's an art to be a Dave Chappelle or @pattonoswalt

        Dave Chappelle’s new stuff also involves unfunny jokes about trans people unfortunately

        Kings' employing jesters not for distraction but for hearing truths they won't hear from courtiers may be fiction, but we've taken "every man a king" too far when we elevate laughing over helping. If a comedy club becomes unsafe, any man who laughs instead of helping is complicit

        I didn't delve into the comments, wonder how many people didn't see the sarcasm?

        "The words in jokes are just words, but the words that criticize jokes are basically murder." I'm dying! Thank you for this. 🤣

        Replying to @IjeomaOluo

        I was JUST thinking about this watching Ellen’s new Netflix special. She made a joke about people needing emotional support animals and actually used the word “crazy” in her punchline. And the rest of her set, she’s talking about the need for us to be kinder to one another...

        I’ve lived with suicidal ideation since I was nine years old. If I need to bring a dog with me everywhere to cope with that, who the hell is she to judge?
