John Mulaney says Michael Jackson wasn’t the only person who grew up without a childhood, because nobody born before 1910 had one perhaps not unique
John: “People always go, ‘Oh, poor Michael Jackson, he had no childhood.’ But you know who else didn’t? Anyone born before 1910.”
“And they didn’t marry children with a giraffe as a witness.”
Conan: “We now know why John was not asked to give the eulogy at Michael Jackson’s funeral.”
John: “I had a nice version. I was perfectly willing to call an audible and switch it on the fly.”

JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces. Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies?
Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws.

RFK Jr.'s a disgusting racist. We all know that.
But as Anti-Arab and Islamophobic hate rises, and as this vile rhetoric puts people in danger, we must all speak out louder than the hate. We will not let these fascists win.

"The purpose of the harassing comments is to silence women, to keep us from existing publicly. Poki is a lightning rod. A lot of people commenting on the situation aren't necessarily fans of Atrioc, they're just misogynistis on the internet who do not miss any opportunity".

pokimane does not owe atrioc forgiveness nor does she need to justify her feelings regarding a situation in which SHE was violated and victimized by non-consensual sexual images of her. As a reminder, digital deepfakes of this kind are the most common, mostly target women and girls, and are classified as a form of digital tech- enabled sexual abuse. Just because the images and videos are “fake” does not mean that the harm isn’t real.
“He apologized, he took accountability” great! Perhaps though in your endless well of charitably for the man who caused this harm, you can reserve some of that empathy for the women who were victimized by those damaging actions.
hi everyone, i want to clarify some things about what i said on stream yesterday.
1) when he was first caught looking at paywalled, deepfake content of female streamers, it seems people forgot that the specific page shown on his stream was of me.
i didn't say much at the time because i was so uncomfortable, publicly humiliated, and i didn't think it needed explaining because it was so obviously wrong.
2) i appreciate that he spent thousands of dollars helping remove ai/df content (3000$ of which was offered to me specifically), but i've had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars towards that same effort. regardless, no amount of money undoes what happened.
3) i'm not trying to cancel anyone or be the arbiter of who can do what. i'm simply sharing my feelings about something that publicly happened to me, and the ways in which it's affecting me today.
as he's become more involved in events and with people close to me, i've grown particularly uncomfortable. as far as i know, no one has really checked in with the women affected about how it makes them feel. other people forgiving him is their choice, but it doesn't mean i can't share my perspective on it as well.
one thing i've seen happen far too often is the rewriting of history, particularly as it pertains to issues like these, so i prefer to stand my ground so the narrative doesn't get twisted. hope this clarifies things!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OP downplays actions taken saying Atrioc has ”spent thousands but she has spent hundreds of thousands.” Atrioc has spent $122k to take down deepfakes via Ceartas. He's also donated 60k to to the Morrison Rothman law firm to help female streamers targeted by deepfakes.

victim blaming a 12 year old rape victim, these people deserve to be in prison, not running for office
Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign releases a statement on ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother:
"We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor."

This genuinely is a sign of rising conservatism what do you mean nudity was scrapped from the revival of the violence and nudity franchise
Crystal Lake showrunner Brad Caleb Kane says he tried to get more explicit nudity into the series
"I tried. That’s America. You can give the kids the violence, but God forbid they see some breasts."

Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah
“How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’”
“And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant”
“And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”

This past Valentine’s Day, 71-year-old Brad Reese, proud grandson of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups inventor H. B. Reese, posted a scathing open letter to the manager of corporate brand and editorial at Hershey, accusing the company of unforgivably altering many Reese’s products by replacing real chocolate with compound chocolate — basically using vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter to lower costs and replacing real peanut butter with “peanut-butter-style crèmes.”
“And Reese wasn’t alone in feeling like everything was getting worse,” writes Rachel Handler. “Everyone in my life I spoke to agreed that something was amiss, that Reese’s — and commercial chocolate in general — didn’t taste the way it used to.”
Handler would spend the next several months tumbling down a chocolate vortex, encountering dozens of eccentric characters, all disagreeing about the fundamental question of what chocolate even is and who it should be for.
“I learned that — not to sound like a LinkedIn guy — what’s going on with chocolate is a parable for the modern world. That at this particularly bleak end stage of capitalism, everything we once treasured has or will lose its essential essence and MrBeast will always be involved somehow.”
For our cover story, Handler takes a deep dive into the molten belly of the chocolate world. Read it in full: nymag.visitlink.me/vKKky_

Dude was in over 400 movies. He did EVERYTHING. Big action films, indie horror, tv.
Before Ari Aster broke in, Richard Riehle would lead one of his short films the same year he was in 13 movies. He could hold his own with any A-lister.
One of the most reliable men in Hollywood

It’s always struck me for years on end how Rorschach is modeled after something synonymous with free, nonlinear interpretation, yet he ultimately meets his end because he simply cannot stomach the idea of living in a world without objective, black and white moral standards.

Ask any kid if homeless people should be fed and housed, if everyone deserves healthcare, if bombing families is wrong, if racism is bad, if air and water should be clean, if trees and nature are good...
