I like that the tweet is from the Libertarian Party and there is no irony to be detected.

The assassin didn't kill Trump but he might have killed Tenacious D

It's amazing how since childhood the Nietzschean "beware when fighting monsters that you don't become a monster" concept has been drilled in from every direction. If nothing else but to save your soul. Not even in a religious sense. Yet a shocking amount of people decided to reveal their deep rooted ugliness.

it's because everyone has lived through the absolute best of times for their entire lives

we don't have a modern first world generation that ALL experienced war, either firsthand or having to scrimp and save to support the troops

it changes the baseline for "the worst thing you've ever experienced" which for most is "I got called a naughty name and that's literally violence"

it's the most "violence" anyone's ever seen and becomes the new thing to eliminate at all costs, as well as the ultimate expression YOU can make, so of course you wield it carelessly

Hard to be disgusted by comedians when we live in a world where Republican attack ads aren't complete unless they feature candidates firing AR's at targets and blowing things up while soundbytes about how they're going to "destroy Joe Biden's plan for America" or "take out the competition" play in the background. Comedian's job is to entertain, politician's job is to lead, somewhere along the way that expectation was reversed.

Jack Black was a presenter at the Biden fundraiser and getting bigger and bigger roles in Hollywood these days.
He tossed his 'best friend' Kyle Gass in front of the bus as quick has he could to protect his own career just as he dipped his toes into politics. 
Which is worse than anything Kyle Gass did.

It was obvious Kyle was joking, I don't see any reason to cancel him.

Eeehhhhhhhh... we might not have had an actual world war, but we've had three 'once in a generation' global recessions, a once in a century pandemic, at least one entirely new technological paradigm that has caused societal upheaval, while we're very likely looking down the barrel of another - I still hold the belief that objectively in aggregate things are better for more people than ever, but its not all blowjobs and rainbows and I think its worth acknowledging there is some pretty fucking unprecedented economic and societal post millennium tension swirling around

That's about other people, not me.

Be like Trump and turn the other cheek

[HaughtyFrank]

It's funny seeing both sides angrily claim that they're sick of turning the other cheek. It's like no one actually turns the other cheek but they keep thinking they do

I mean 12 years ago was Clint Eastwood talking to a stool.

It's kinda beautiful that he couldn't rip the shirt off in one motion.

But does he think about the Roman Empire?
