Chaser:
It seems that Disney has a serious pedophile problem in its ranks.
I guess a business that deals so much with children attracts a certain kind of person.
I think I’m going to attach a giant slide to my woodchipper for Disney to make it into a proper theme park ride for employees.
Chris Rock is a professional comedian and I came up with better comebacks…
“That was a GI Jane joke. If I wanted to make fun of your wife’s illness I would have said the upside of having a wife with alopecia is that the carpet matches the drapes.”
“Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.”
“She’s already been in the mouths of half the people on this room, how the fuck does one more make a difference.”
Chris Rock built his career on snappy comebacks and when he really needed some he waffled.
Sad.
There are lots of people trying to somehow tie that Will Smith did to Chris Rock to Trump.
Because they are all fundamentally broken people.
One got close, but then blew it.
I present you Steve Schmidt:
The Oscars have demonstrated the power of group psychology. The room is a hermetically sealed bubble where all mores can be eradicated in a second. Do you want to understand how Trump happened? Watch the Oscars and the crowd reaction. The pull to belong is very powerful. The

Pull to conform to what is happening around you is a powerful tide. Applause for assault in a tuxedo in California is the same as applause for assault while wearing a red hat in Alabama. That was a crime. There was no virtue attached to it. None whatsoever.

I actually agree with most of his first Tweet.
The reason we got Trump is Hollywood is a hermetically sealed bubble.
From the outside we see drug addicts, rapists, pedophiles, and vacuous shallow assholes who have no idea what life is like for people who don’t make millions of dollars and have an entourage of people catering to them all the time.
Yet these people tell the rest of us how to live.
And Hillary Clinton had countless celebrity endorsements.
Anywhere else in America, if someone punched a coworker over a joke made about his wife, he’d be fired and escorted outside to the police by security.
But tyr sane Academy that gave awards to child rapists and sexual predators gave Will Smith an award that sane evening and let him go to a star studded after party.
We got Trump because we were tired of an elite class that played by totally different rules and treated the rest of us as ignorant peasants.
Last night Will Smith only widened that gulf.
I want a President who not just doesn’t rely on celebrity endorsements, but runs on a platform of investigating Hollywood and prosecuting its pedophiles and sex traffickers.
I’d love to watch the FBI just host a major sex trafficking sting at the Academy Awards. Just doing a perp walk down the red carpet.
It’s been a busy week, I’ve fallen behind in meme gathering.
There have been several videos posed online by people who generally have been on the Right that show Ukrainian soldiers torturing and executing Russian POWs.
There has been a subset of the Right that has reflexively decided to come out against Ukraine simply because the Left has gone ball to the wall in support of Ukraine.
These videos are not going to make me feel bad for the Russians.
Here is the thing, and I need to make this perfectly crystal fucking clear:
I do not give a single solitary, tiniest iota of a fuck what Ukrainian soldiers do to Russian soldiers.
Go read your history of the Holodomor, and the Russian Revolution, and the Decembrist Revolution, and the Crimean War before that.
Go read about the Gulags and Highway of Bones.
Go read about how German women were raped en masse by the Red Army as they defeated the Nazis on the eastern front.
The Russians have always engaged in inhumane tactics and atrocities.
The Russian army is currently shooting women and children.
The idea of law abiding gentlemanly combat is really something that only exists in the modern Anglosphere.
So the Ukrainians are committing atrocities against the Russians who committed atrocities against them since Stalin invaded in 1919 all the way through 1991 and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Okay, so there are no good guys in this war. Neither side is as pure and clean as the driven snow.
That’s still not a justification for Russia to invade Ukraine or for Ukrainians not to want to repel invaders.
So what that a Ukrainian soldier kneecaps a Russian POW with an AK. That Russian was probably the great grandson of the Russian soldier that shot the Ukrainian soldier’s great grandmother’s siblings and raped her because they were picking kernels of wheat off the dirt after the Red Army took their entire crop yield.
This is me not giving a fuck.
This is why I say I don’t want to put boots on the ground there.
When armies that commit war crimes have war crimes committed against them, I’m just going to sit back with some popcorn and watch from a safe distance.
Bill Gates: Rich nations should move to "100 percent synthetic beef" https://t.co/zDe9ewiBFU pic.twitter.com/i92qJWGLPb

From the article linked in the Tweet:
Bill Gates recently said that he believes rich nations would help the global fight against climate change by consuming only plant-based meat products instead of beef.
In a recent interview with Technology Review, Gates discussed his new book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” and emphasized the benefits rich nations could produce by moving to “100% synthetic beef.”
“You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time.”
No, I am not going to get used to the taste. I’m not going to eat that shit at all.
I can’t fathom what goes on in the heads if these sociopathic, megalomaniac billionaires that they make money and decide they are God-emperors who have the ability to tell the rest of how to live and what to eat.
Cattle have been domesticated and used as a foodsource for over 10,000 years, and this guy makes a bunch of money and decides single handedly to change the entire course of human food consumption.
Bill Gates can get fucked with a howitzer.
I will not live in a pod and I will not eat the fake meat.
I approve.
You want to see me pissed off while you bleed profusely? Mess with my wife in any way, shape or form.
And how desperate were the Oscar organizers who actually used Dollar Store Spike Lee in its broadcast? Chris Rock peaked as actor in New Jack City as the crack addict and has gone downhill ever since.
UPDATE: I just saw this.
