Zelensky: I heard it from Putin

Reply in thread

While talking to zelensky, trump said something like the war in Ukraine could have ended in three days, and zelensky said 'am I crazy or are you quoting Putin right now?'

I'm unwilling to listen to that embarrassing shit show again so that's as accurate as I can get.

Seinfeld says that far left woke mobs have killed comedy. He also dated a 17-year-old.

I think it's just anger about being out of touch. You can't make comedy in a vacuum, it necessarily draws on contemporary culture, and Jerry's probably feeling a bit left in the dust. But he frames it in a way where he feels victimized. That's my reading for most embarrassing or offensive old comedians though, so maybe I'm painting with too broad a brush.

All the women I've been friends with who've worn a hijab did it in part out of faith and in part to free themselves of the male gaze. Not the gaze of Muslim men, but of men in general. All made the choice to start wearing it on their own, as adults, and most of them eventually stopped wearing it. These were all college educated women.
