Lee’s recent pandering depends on ignoring stories like these. People are telling me they’re cancelling their tickets to his upcoming shows. If I were them, I would keep the tickets—I’m not going to support the removal of a comedian’s ability to make a living, as Stuart happily does for me—but I would try and use the opportunity to ask him these questions in a venue where he can’t hide.

Norman fucking Mailer they’ve done now

Once again, might it be too much to ask our intellectual class to start taking seriously the threat to our freedom of speech from this generation of authoritarian pricks?

“An invertebrate castato void of horror”

Patton Oswalt’s despicable cowardice continues to play terribly.

Gad Saad @GadSaad

Dear @pattonoswalt, you allowed the Woke Taliban to intimidate you into soiling your loyalty to & friendship with @DaveChappelle. Dave is not transphobic. You are an invertebrate castrato void of honor. There was nothing for you to apologize for.

And this is very revealing.

Ted Trembley @Ted_Trembley

When the woke crowd went for Shane Gillis's career, @pattonoswalt egged them on. But when the crowd turned on Chappelle, Oswalt declared he's not "done evolving, learning." Interesting.🧐

Many of these women are on Gettr

This is a #BarberThread about the fact that Twitter regularly suspends and bans feminists for the crime of fighting against sexism and for sex-based rights. Proof will follow. #TwitterIsSexist #WarOnWomen https://t.co/dUAjQICYc7

Join to reconnect with them! Here’s Holly Lawford Smith, Meghan Murphy, and Posie Parker for a start.

And here’s me and RevStu. How do we get verified?

Are the Taliban trying to move up on the Stonewall index?

Zia Shahreyar l ضیا شهریار @ziashahreyar

This is Herat where the Taliban authorities have asked clothing shops to behead all “female mannequins” calling them “un-Islamic”. Herat was called “the pearl of Khurasan” by Rumi and has been considered the cultural capital of #Afghanistan.

Preschool teacher 😳

Does anyone know why Stuart lee targeted Nimco Ali?

I want to make sure I understand the left wing/Oxford-educated argument that POC who campaign for an end to violence against women are somehow worthy of the bin. Does anyone know what that argument is?

Does she, like Jennifer Sieland, and unlike Ash Sarkar, know that that the struggles of black people are in no way analagous to those of crossdressing white men?

It’s a fantastic rebuttal of this grotesque point, do read it.

Gillian Phillip on the cowardice of the publishing industry.

Feminists might think about joining the Free Speech Union, by the way. It may not be their primary focus, but they’ve won a few notable victories for women this year.

Gillian Phillip, who lost her book contract when she tweeted #IStandWithJKRowling, laments the state of the publishing industry and its utter spinelessness in the face of outrage mobs on Twitter

Men with the name ‘Duncan’ seem to know what’s what

Boy George bends the knee

I was like “where’s the little fella off to?”

…until a friend said “It's trying to escape or hide. Fish will try to 'hide' in the corners of tanks.” I’m so fucking stupid oh my God.

Ronen Segev @ronen_segev

I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & @MatanSamina w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (authors.elsevier.com/a/1eEnubrwfBCwg).

Aaron is running out of road

Another good question for Stuart Lee, incidentally.
