A miracle happened to Louis C.K. in Brooklyn
We like Louis C.K. The crowd likes Louis C.K. Even Brooklyn—home of judgy, mouth agape in consternation hipsters—likes Louis C.K. When the man was taken down, fans didn’t really want to see him go.

David Letterman to Kanye West: “you don’t have a say in this”
It’s not about Trump or political ideology. It’s about freedom of expression and freedom of creativity. Kanye is doing what all good artists do—he’s pushing boundaries. All of us would benefit from being more like Kanye. Perhaps then we wouldn’t be so scared to say what we truly feel.

The straight pride parade confirms that our culture is a parody of itself
Ever since the election of Trump we’ve been subject to Orwellian inversion after Orwellian inversion. In 1984, it’s “freedom is slavery, war is peace, ignorance is strength.” In 2019, it’s language is violence, segregation is inclusive, and straight is queer. Perhaps it’s time to try sanity.
No, there’s no rise in hate; there’s a rise in panic

BuzzFeed slimes a 14-year-old girl in the name of internet safety
