Jon Stewart, who normally hosts the Monday edition of "The Daily Show," will host on Thursday, presumably to address the Jimmy Kimmel suspension.

      Hopefully more hosts follow and point out the major hypocrisy from MAGA. The fact that ABC/Disney flinched from such a small jab really shows how stupid this entire thing is.

        That will do nothing. They enjoy their own hypocrisy. They don’t care about consistency of principles and are quite happy to just want everything their way while no one else gets anything. They’re quite happy to abuse language by saying whatever suits them in the moment. It drives their opponents crazy as they try to point out how inconsistent and irrational they’re being. The fascists don’t care, but they do love to see you get frustrated. It’s just part of their sadistic fun: messing with people, playing with their prey until they are ready to exterminate them.

        To complain that fascists are hypocritical or inconsistent is to miss the point of fascism, at least if your hope is to shock them into being more reasonable. I know this quote from Sartre is everywhere but he said it well:

        Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

          Pointing out the hypocrisy is not supposed to suddenly convince the actual fascists that they’re wrong, it’s to convince the people they’ve duped into following them that they’re both wrong and evil.

              Fascists depend in large part on vast numbers of naive people who take them at their word and don’t follow politics closely. Maybe it’s hard to imagine, but it really shouldn’t be: vast numbers of people only interact with politics through biased sources, or in very small amounts. You should easily be able to work out there are literally millions of people in the US who don’t draw any connection between republicans today talking about suppressing disrespectful speech, and democrats talking about similar things for the last several years which those same republicans vehemently criticised.

      I wouldn’t count on it. Stewart has done a LOT of tone policing of the left over the years and just a few days ago (?) criticized people for cheering over the death of a nazi.

      Which lines up. Stewart has ALWAYS been a “both sides” kind of guy. His coverage tends to involve facts which means it leans left but there is a reason he had carlson and the like on his show back in the day. So his politics are very much going to disappoint. Just going to be a question of if his hatred of censoring comedians (no matter how shitty) takes precedence.

      I think Oliver is more likely to go off on Saturday/Sunday. But you can bet that Business Daddy is talking to him constantly and he does have a whole team he needs to provide for so…

        It’s tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese. Delicious. Since the one of the first recorded uses of the word “pizza” is for a round bread flavored with rose water & sugar as the toppings, I think “tomato soup in a bread bowl with cheese” is close enough to qualify.

        Bring together 2lbs flour, 2oz yeast starter, 4oz breadcrumb soaked in warm water, and enough salt. When the dough is made, let it rest, covered in a warm place to rise, as is done with bread. Then knead it again on the table for a half hour, adding in, little by little, 2lbs fresh (unsalted) butter. Knead until all of the butter has been worked into the dough and it has become soft, split the dough up into two or three pieces, and with each make the pizza in a tourte pan which has fresh butter in it. Bake it in an oven with melted butter on top. Make several holes on top with the tip of a knife so it will not puff up too much. When it is nearly done, sprinkle with sugar and rosewater. This pastry should be baked slowly and serve it hot.
