  • When asked to make a birthday wish on stage during a live performance he joked “Don’t miss trump next time”. Because of the comedic nature of the show and the political right’s famously thick skin (compared to the snowflakes on the left) the joke was taken in good stride and nothing else of note happened.

    Of course that’s bullshit. Right leaning news-entertainment media lost their collective minds that someone would dare say something so heartless about a poor disenfranchised millionaire manchild. And (I’m severely paraphrasing here) that instead of making terrible remarks about the lord and saviour/second coming of Jesus you should save the hateful rhetoric for minorities and the chosen hated religious groups.

    My understanding is that Kyle essentially lost his career over the remark (cancel culture’s out of control!!) and Jack Black distanced himself from Kyle and they cancelled the rest of their tour.










  • I’m currently going through a pretty bad divorce where my wife cheated on me, drained my accounts, lawyered up and send a letter demanding $280,000 and isn’t signing documents or responding to her legal council.

    I’d love to get it all finalised and end that chapter of my life but realistically I can’t force her to do anything. I can’t make her sign documents, I can’t make her talk to her lawyer. So ultimately it is what it is.

    Frankly, that saying has (since our separation) become an anthem to me. I can understand why you’d think it’s defeatism etc if it’s someone speaking of something they can legitimately do something about but truely sometimes it really is what it is.









  • …legislation that would force women seeking an abortion after 27 weeks and six days – an extremely rare occurrence – to be induced, to deliver the child alive.

    Emphasis mine.

    That’s 10 weeks early. I’m far from an expert but that’s extremely premature, right? Like, that baby is going to be in a very precarious place for a significant amount of time, yeah?

    Again, I’m far from an expert but that seems horrible for literally everyone involved, especially the child! Possibly leading to lifelong health and developmental issues.

    [Ben Hood] has previously said that, once born, if the baby “isn’t compatible with life”, it would then be given palliative care.

    Takes “born to die” to the extreme.
