    Now? This is what he’s been doing for his whole career.

    This hacky, unfunny, shallow routine is just a symptom of how people are afraid to feel empathy. It’s much easier to laugh at our most vulnerable than to look at their pain directly & show them love and concern. Louis CK is all fear and bitterness now. He can’t look inward.

    I agree with Robby: Louis CK's new routines sound like his old routines. What changed isn't the comedy; it's how people see the comic.

    Oh and here I thought the worst, most boring kind of comedy was the kind where older white men tell everyone what they can or cannot say anymore.

    You know what’s the worst, most boring kind of comedy? The kind where older white men are angry that older white men can’t do or say whatever the fuck they want anymore.

    Bolsonaro is similar to Saudi Arabia’s crown prince. Both men are willing to aggressively support U.S. regional and strategic goals. At the same time, both leaders have authoritarian personalities that will undermine these goals if left unchecked.”

    1) At the heart of so many small, rural towns is a cadre of citizens willing to sacrifice personal time to participate in civic life: heading school boards, serving as leaders, helping local community colleges. My hometown of Parsons, KS just lost such a citizen.

    "haha your friend is dead!" he tweeted while wiping the kale chip dust off his mutton chops onto his $900 Canada Goose parka, satisfied at his defense of the oppressed.

    Eva worked at a Nicaraguan state broadcaster, telling me she was made to report lies when anti-government protests began. And so she quit. That's when the death threats began. My latest for , on the dangerous state of journalism under Daniel Ortega.

    Very similar to Nazi ideology of blaming Jews for the world’s ills. And this is the regime that some Western advocates believe will “reform” and “moderate.”

    آماده سازی افکار عمومی برای سرکوب بیشتر بهائیان. سپاه یک مصاحبه ساختگی با یکنفر که مدعی است قبلا بهائی بوده منتشر کرده که آنان را به کنترل اقتصاد ایران، خرابی بازار ارز و سکه، مسئول فتنه 88 و تلاش برای کنترل جهان متهم میکند. شبیه اتهاتی که نازی ها علیه یهودیان متشر میکردند
