Skimmed a bit of the diary at the link: one part he’s talking about setting up the bakery in a factory, next paragraph he’s talking about how much he hates the Jerries (Germans) and nobody in his baking unit would take a prisoner, he’s itching to slit one of their throats. He calls the Jerries “he.”
Friend, it’s a comedy special. He’s a comedian. It’s not like when one of these bigots says a bunch of biggoted shit and then tries to escape responsibility by saying they were just joking. Dave Chapelle is actually telling jokes, though.
And get this…you don’t need to laugh at it. But the special you’re quoting from was filmed in front of a live show and was a smash hit, and that’s to be expected because dude fairly consistently brings the house down wherever he goes. The crowds have voted. There’s no such thing as a successful comedian who isn’t funny to most people and plenty of Chappelle fans, comedy fans, and comedians, say Dave Chappelle is the living GOAT.
You’ve taken every quote out of context and in doing so you’ve obviously killed all the jokes and maligned the comedian. Stick to your day job you don’t know shit about funny.
I often hear science-adjacent folks stating that a tree needs to be 30 years old before it starts absorbing CO₂, usually paired with the statement that it’s therefore pointless to start planting tons of trees now for slowing climate change....
Ehh, cannabis is a woody annual. At least that’s what I’d call it. It dies every season. In some places a stand can reseed itself or a mother plant or two may overwinter for a maximum of one season by being buried under it’s daughter plants after they collapse from senescence, essentially cellular death from old age, which varies by species.
That’s true of Amber Alerts everywhere. The purpose is to find a fleeing abductor right away. It also requires a basis to believe the child is in danger, so you would not usually see Amber Alerts in cases of a parent abduction, absent some known threat.

I’ll buy that when one these “conservative legal scholars” aka moron federalists can produce a single primary source document that uses the phrase bear arms outside of a strictly military context involving uniformed, regimented troops, and instead refers expressly to an individual right of self defense.
Cool citations for things said after the amendment was passed. Curious why the convention voted down unanimously an amendment that included an express individual right.
Any citations from before 1776 describing an individual right to bear arms in the common law?
The bill of rights does not add any new right did not already then exist at common law.
Now do the writings from the other 100 mass shooters this year… Oh yeah they are Trump loving America-First nut jobs and their writing mimics the conspiracy theories and racism of Republican leadership. Let’s see the writings of the Trump supporter to stabbed a six year old fifty times just like two weeks ago.
If they were as accessible and available as guns such that in the mind of many Americans they represent solutions to problems instead of the problem itself, no I would feel the same. They aren’t though and it’s not a smart analogy.
Oh I know. Crowder and Shapiro and all of them get a fax every morning with daily, far-right talking points. It’s easy to coordinate and organize your messaging when your benefactors have unlimited money.
Apparently it’s still widely popular for a new generation. I haven’t watched in years but used to watch every week and usually nightly reruns, as a kid.
Who cares if it’s different now? People are still watching and laughing at the jokes.
I wrote about this exactly thing in college philosophy coursework 20 years ago.
I concluded that homer had an abuser mentality, that he would have understood his abuse “as tough love.” There’s an episode where he strangles Bart and gets all sad about “why do you make me strangle you?” or something to that effect. And another where he starts strangling Bart but then realizes Bart actually did the right thing, and he stops strangling him and they have a nice father son moment.
My takeaway is that Homer is a complicated guy. He’s both good and bad, as I suspect are we all. Also hurt people, hurt people.
This is what fascists do. They co-opt the language of their political opponents, and divorce any meaning from the word.
The strategy is to deny their opponents the vocabulary they need to organize. This is part of the same strategy as burning books that teach black history and banning students from saying the word gay.
The fifth Amendment would not apply to the allegations in the civil complaint. It’s still applies to his testimony with regard to uncharged criminal conduct. In other words, he cannot be required to testify in the civil case to something that would incriminate him in an uncharged criminal matter. At least that’s my understanding as an attorney, however, I admit I never have to deal with this issue and the one time it almost came up, the other lawyer never asked my witness the right questions.
He said something too about that there was some old lady that needed news glasses and she got confused and thought he looked like the guy that had shot the clerk.
