ok but this last episode of doom patrol really said 'we're doing uncomfortable camp bc even we can't keep up real quirky when it comes to fucked up relationships with fathers'

#by this last episode I mean the Dorothy ep I just realized I haven't watched this last one I think #they really don't fuck around when it comes to dads it's always been hard hitters #I feel like execs pushed this episode or the format on them and everyone went girls at party staring dot jaypeg #bc all of the other episodes where fathers are directly discussed have been extremely heavy #everything with cliff and his daughter and related how Dorothy was placed above clara and how cliff has to try to build a relationship when #30 years have been stolen #everything with Kay and Miranda and Jane especially we saw during her split into existence how that affects the system #Larry as an emotionally distant and critical father and then entirely absent was like. the plot or at least two episodes #and then we get this. dead eyed 'space case is on the case. I guess' 'yeah no I want to stop actively try killing my dad even tho my dad #literally just tried to kill me' #literally Maura lee korupt was sooooo over it. all of us felt ur pain in this episode miss Maura lee #I'm so sorry they put you thru that but them making Abigail Shapiro say love always wins (potentially hundreds of times) is like. beautiful #karmic punishment that I couldn't do better if I tried

The Astrology of Candace Owens

A new direction for Candace Owens as she leaves the Daily Wire.

Right-wing commentator Candace Owens has been trending recently for her very public disagreement with fellow YouTuber Ben Shapiro’s stance over Israel, ultimately resulting in Candace quitting the Daily Wire. While we won’t be getting into the specifics of their disagreement here, Candace Owens is in the spotlight. So, let’s check the specs of her cosmic engine. What do the stars have to say…

I’m camping and this is a queued post.

I watched big joel’s “conservative comedy ruined my life” in bits and pieces last weekend. or the weekend before? I don’t remember. part of me just thinks I’m getting old and running out of patience for, like, elevated react content. another part of me is thinking, “no! it’s laziness you can’t stand!” i know joel is a capable guy – I think “twitter and empathy” is an excellent video essay. i more or less know how YouTube sponsors work in a way that disincentivizes being thorough – “get it out by may 10th, or you’re not getting $200”. all that. maybe this was best practiced as a labor of love rather than a professional career, but I won’t digress

I think what my issues with it are stem from two questions that weren’t engaged with at all:

what makes comedy work?

what is a conservative? it’s a regionally variant thing in how it presents, after all.

If you’d like to hear me ramble, it’s under the cut. if not, i hope everything goes well for you today, and we’ll leave it at that.

alright. now the true reader time has kicked in. im getting dirty.

a lot of the framework I think joel is using here is from this out of context george carlin clip that’s shared en-masse whenever a comedian is in hot water for a tasteless joke. but I honestly think he and most people are interpreting it wrong – it’s somewhat backhanded advice from one professional to another. even if andrew dice clay meant his diceman character as a parody, he’s risking an audience who may not get that, and probably won’t think particularly high of him when they find out his surname by birth is silverman.

the work people remember of carlin’s is anti-establishment and anti-consumerism, yes. but the shtick in that era of his career is mostly about being curmudgeonly. he wasn’t trying to establish an over-arching theory of comedy via one larry king interview. and I guess, while we’re thinking about carlin, we ought to remember that he was arrested for cursing in public at his shows, like, multiple times in the 70s. his attitude towards political correctness (& supposedly what we’d call “wokeness” now) is deeply informed by this. he’d probably call a lot of the posts you’ve endorsed newfangled yuppie shit. don’t invoke the dead unless you know what they were about.

sorry for that digression, but I do think it matters. specifically in the case of joel, who I think leaned into the out of context clip and… developed a nonsense theory of comedy because of that. he says something to the effect of “comedy enforces social norms” when he isn’t talking about comedians. he’s talking about bullies. bullies and their patchwork of social allies aren’t funny. everyone thinks they’re trying too hard in a meaningless and pathetic race.

comedy is often predicated on surprise. if you pay attention, you’ll be a more intelligent person for it. and a more surprising one. funny how that works. I don’t personally believe this neo-breadtube space is inhabited by smart people. I don’t care how many masters degrees they’ll try to break my nose with pointing this out.

okay, getting to the point – the daily wire is not anywhere near the go-to source of conservative bile. their traffic has taken a massive hit since facebook de-emphasized viral news. Imagine making something criticizing “conservative comedy” and not mentioning greg gutfeld at all. fox’s viewership dwarfs that of the daily wire, but the daily wire gets undue legitimacy by way of being terminally online. if I said “Ben Shapiro” to my parents, they’d assume this is the name of some guy that worked with me rather than a pundit. 

he also does some idiot magic here where he calls matt stone and trey parker conservatives. they aren’t, they’re libertarians. these sorts of distinctions matter to people who care about gay shit like accuracy. he mostly looks at “team america: world police” as reference and says something to the effect of “they accepted the war on terror as it is”. like are you honestly kidding dude. have you seen the south park movie? they not only characterized the army as incompetent, but actively racist on top of that.

you have to wonder if he has a selective memory about the “team america” movie as well, because he frames it so strangely. because the version of the song where they’re shouting out the names of corporations as a joke is in the end credits only and…

oh. alright. you didn’t watch it. damn. that’s sad. couldn’t even ask you to sit for two hours without picking up your phone like a fidgety little rat.

and… like. as much as I do not like to pull the “I’m bipolar!! I find this gross!!” card, I’m doing it. at the end of this video, joel shows a video of a Roseanne Barr routine where she’s very blatantly wrote while having a manic episode. He calls it interesting, I personally don’t find this all that interesting. I’ve been there. It’s dumb. It’s needlessly scaremongering and dramatic. It isn’t interesting. It makes me feel uncomfortable while I watch it. I was never a conspiracy theorist type but the requisite nonsensical yapping is all too clear to me.

Uhh. That’s what I have to say. Don’t think I got my whole rant out, but this will do for now

I’ve already posted about my big theories for nerdy prudes, but I just wanted to get my personal hopes and mini predictions down in a neat little list before I finally see the digital ticket on Tuesday! I will reblog this with a completed checklist once I’ve seen it (obviously with spoilers tagged) CANT WAIT!!

so, in no particular order:

paul and emma cameo. I think paul is confirmed based on this one post I saw but the photo was very blurry so it could be someone else… still both lauren and jon are in the show, they had a cameo in black friday - I just think they deserve to be together and happy in every universe until they inevitably die or break up horribly and I would squee so hard if they really showed up

ted cameo where he immediately dies. because come on. you can’t not do it you just can’t

stephski kiss. I just think they’re neat

HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE. HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLOD

the book they get the ritual from is the black book which is how miss holloway (as the student counsellor miss holiday) ties in.

grace gets a solo song and also a lethal weapon.

grace canonically has a crush on steph. idk I’m very happy with the “we’re besties” “I hate you and want you dead” dynamic but also “I’m madly in love with you and obsessed with you and also a repressed christian teenager” “I hate you and want you dead and also have a boyfriend” has potential

bill and alice cameo. corey and mariah have played father and daughter twice and I think they could get some quality jokes out of that even if just for one scene

the apocalypse happens and everyone dies just like in the other two musicals - otherwise I think it would pretty much just feel like a nightmare time episode scaled up to 10 which doesn’t sound bad, just not what fans are looking for in a full fledged hatchetfield musical

detective shapiro will be an undercover peip agent or at least connected to them in some way

it’s set in the same universe as abstinence camp (therefore ted is alive, grace steph and pete have established dynamics with each other, they know about weird shit in hatchetfield, etc)

my theories end up being correct. or at least blinky is the major villain and the murderer is being controlled by him and “larry” is an important character

HERE IS HOW GENERAL MACNAMARA CAN STILL WIN-

Ellen Greenberg

The family of a teacher who was found brutally stabbed in her home in what was deemed a suicide by authorities have demanded that the city's mayor reopen her case amid claims the governor had a conflict of interest.Ellen Greenberg was 27 years old when her fiancé Sam Goldberg found her dead in the kitchen of her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011; she had 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of the head and neck.

Her parents have been on a journey ever since to get what they say would be justice for their daughter, who they claim was being abused by Goldberg - whose family allegedly donated to then-attorney general Josh Shapiro, now the state's governor. Ellen's father Dr. Josh Greenberg told Fox News Digital his daughter had injuries on her body 'consisted with abuse.''That's what I think the whole issue of this story,' the grieving father added. 'Somebody didn't want Ellen's abuse to get out there … and that's why she's dead.'

Ellen Greenberg was 27 years old when her iancé Sam Goldberg found her dead in the kitchen of her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandee believe their daughter was killed and have spent years dedicated to finding out the truth behind her deathBack in 2022, independent journalist Gavin Fish claimed in a YouTube video that then AG Shapiro had a 'clear conflict of interest' in the case and that Goldberg's family were campaign donors. Then-AG Shapiro recused himself from the case three days after the video was published, as reported by Fox News.At the time, the AG's office denied the conflict of interest was real.'While the Office of Attorney General does not have an actual conflict in this matter, circumstances beyond our control have created the appearance of a conflict and our involvement is no longer serving one of the primary purposes of the District Attorney’s original conflict referral,' Shapiro's office told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

In July 2023, Dr Greenberg claimed Ellen's autopsy report said she suffered a huge laceration in the back of her head and that she was covered in bruises in different stages of healing. 'That's what I think the whole issue of this story,' he told Fox News Digital. 'Somebody didn't want Ellen's abuse to get out there … and that's why she's dead.' Ellen's death was initially ruled a homicide but the medical examiner's office then changed it to suicide after a meeting with police and prosecutors, per her family.

A petition asking mayor Jim Kenney to to reopen and investigate Ellen’s case has collected more than 150,000 signatures.Officials have for years said they have found no evidence of foul play in Ellen's death.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner also previously recused himself from reinvestigating the death after having previously worked with the Greenbergs.

At the time, police claimed that the door of Greenberg's apartment was locked from the inside and there were no signs of a struggle.Goldberg told investigators he came home in 2011, kicked the door, and found his fiancé dead with a knife clinging to her chest.

In a chilling 911 call, he told police Greenberg had stabbed herself. 'Help!... My fiancé's on the floor with blood everywhere.'He later added, 'I can't see anything... there's nothing broken... Ellie!... I think she hit her head.''Oh my god! She stabbed herself... she fell on a knife... there is a knife sticking out of her heart.'

The Chester County District Attorney's Office began an outside investigation into Ellen's death last year, but now governor Shapira had been sitting on the case for years while he was attorney general.'He stole four years from us, holding the case in his office, and we have no evidence of him doing anything,' said Ellen's mother Sandee Greenberg.

Then-AG Shapiro's office, however, previously said it had undertaken 'an exhaustive review and conducted new forensic analysis' but their additional efforts did not bring 'more closure to the questions around [Ellen's] death.'Chester County officials have said their investigation into the case is ongoing.The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General alleged that several death and suicide- related searches has been performed on Greenberg's laptop in the weeks leading up to her death.But a lawyer hired by the Goldbergs said the hard-drive was subsequently examined by the FBI lab in 2011 and no such searches were found.

In the weeks prior to her death, Greenbergs parents, Josh and Sandee, said something had been troubling their daughter.However, they did not believe she was suicidal.A couple of weeks before her death Greenberg told her parents that she wanted to quit her job and 'come home.' They said she could come home if she needed to, but they wanted her to seek help for her anxiety.She told them it was the stress of organizing a wedding – she was due to marry that August and had sent out 'Save the Date' cards just four days before her death - and that work was particularly busy.Her father said, 'Something was amiss. Her personality was changed. She played it off that work was too much but when the teacher who took on Ellen's class saw her books and marking she said everything was perfect.'

Greenberg saw a therapist who prescribed her Ambien and Klonopin for anxiety. Police pointed to this as further support for a finding of suicide. But psychiatrist Dr Ellen Berman, who saw Greenberg three times before her death, was clear that her new patient was not suicidal.

Samuel Goldberg is now 40 and a married father of two living in New York. He remained in contact with the family for a year or so following Greenberg's death.

Komödie

Komödie ist dasjenige Drama, das von Leuten handelt. Sie handelt von denen, von denen immer etwas absteht, zum Beispiel Haare, Fäden, Ohren oder Schnürsenkel. In der Komödie sprechen die Leute abschweifend, dort spricht man keine Hochsprache, man spricht dort Dialekt, in Tönen, die für nichts ganz, nicht ganz gerade stehen. Man spricht dort Hessisch oder Kanack oder sagt wenigstens mal oi wey. Die Komödie steht den Leuten nicht, lässt sie lächerlich erscheinen. Sie steht den Leuten ab. In der Komödie tauchen Abstehende und eingebildete Kranke, also Abgestandene auf. Komische Leute: eine Tautologie, die einschließt, widersprüchlich zu sein.

In der Komödie sind alle Seiten falsch und am Ende ist alles zerstiebt, zersteubt (alles andere bestäubt oder verstaubt), alles zerstoben. Die talentiertesten Melancholiker fühlen sich in der Komödie am wohlsten. Da schunkelt es so. Hat einer immer noch keinen Witz, kann seine Melancholie so doll nicht sein. Die Kömödie zerstreut nichts, was nicht zerstreut wäre; sie expliziert Zerstreuung, die spätestens seit Blaise Pascal zu den Kültürtechniken der Souveränität gehört (auch oder weil die Leute, das Personal der Komödie, gerade nicht souverän sind).

Larry David ist Komödiant. Die oben abgebildete Passage ist eine Referenz. Sie ist eine Referenz zu etwas und an etwas. Sie ist Referenz an Martin Heideggers Text über den Ursprung des Kunstwerkes, an eine Replik von Meyer Shapiro, an Jacques Derridas Text Restitutionen/ von der Wahrheit nach Maß und an Carlo Bordonis Heidegger und ein Paar Schuhe. Spätestens jetzt ist diese Passage eine Referenz, die an diesen Texten hängt, weil sie mit diesen Texten assoziiert ist. Die Passage formuliert die Frage nach dem Eignen, nach dem Eigenen, nach dem Eigentum und nach dem Eigentümlichen als Frage danach, wem (die) Schuhe gehören. Larry David ist ein Mime, er stellt in dieser Passage Larry David nach.

Klingt alles erfunden, ist es auch, ändert aber kein Fitzelchen an dem, was daran wahr und real ist. David braucht Schuhe und findet welche in einem Haufen. Diese Schuhe werden nicht mehr als das gebraucht, als das die hergestellt wurden. Ihren eigentliche Sinn und ihre eigentliche Funktion wird in dem haufen nicht wahrgenommen. In dem Haufen erinnern sie an den Holocaust oder die Shoa, dafür sind Schuhe eigentlich nicht gemacht. Also nimmt David ein Paar aus dem Haufen. Ohne Aneignung eignet sich wenig, nicht die Komödie, nicht, wenn sie anfangen will, dann muss auch die Eignung anfangen.

#eignen #restituieren #komödie #haufenbildung als strukturprinzip

George Shapiro, the legendary comedy manager and even more legendary nice guy in an eat-your own business, passed away at 91 the other day. Here’s a story I’ve told about him in just about every interview I’ve ever  done, and it bears repeating at least one more time....

In 1988, I happened to have a good set at the Improv one night. As I came off stage, a man walked up to me and gave me his card. He said, “I’m George Shapiro, Jerry Seinfeld’s manager....” As if that was his last name JerrySeinfeld’sManager. In 1988, Jerry was just the best stand-up working. He had not yet joined forces with Larry David to become Jerry Seinfeld the Show, the Industry, the Icon. 

George Shapiro continued, “Do you ever get out to LA?” 

“Only when I absolutely have to,” I said. Which was the kind of thing I said a lot in those days, to the endearment of the industry.

“Well, next time, you’re out there, let me know,” he said, “I’d like to see you work again. I think I’d like to work with you.” He gave me his card.

You have to believe me. In 1988, the most people said things like that to me was never.

Three months later, I’m at LAX. It’s a Monday. Two days before, I had been in Houston and there was a message on my machine that they wanted to know if I could tape “Evening at the Improv” the following Tuesday. You have to believe me, the most I got calls like that back then was never. I called back, said yes, and put in for a spot on Monday so I could work out my 10 minute set. I rebooked my flight out of Houston to LAX and got in Monday around noon. 

The first thing I do after I get my luggage is call the Improv and see if I got a spot. I did. That night , 8:30 at the Melrose club. Beautiful. I had no idea who I was going to stay with, but I had enough friends I could crash a couple nights before flying back. 

As I started thinking about who I would impose on, the thought came to me, “George Shapiro wanted to see you the next time you’re in LA. This is the next time! Call him!” Oh, how great it would have been to have his card on me. But the most I carried other people’s business cards on me back then was never. 

The first two comics I called didn’t have his number, but John Mendoza said, “He’s in Hollywood. Call information.” 

So, I call information. “Yeah, hi. Hollywood? George Shapiro?” I figure there’d be at least 20, but I would do the leg work. 

The operator comes back on, “I have one listing for George Shapiro in Hollywood.” One? Beautiful. She gives me the number. I call.

HERE NOW IS THE TEXT OF THAT CONVERSATION....

Man: Hello?

Me: Hello. George Shapiro?

Man: This is George.

Me: Hi, this is Bill Scheft. You saw me at the Improv in New York three months ago and told me to call you the next time I was in LA. I’m sorry this is such short notice, but I have a spot tonight at the Improv on Melrose at 8:30. I’m doing Evening at the Improv Tuesday. Again, I’m sorry this is such short notice, but I just landed and I just found out about the spot. And I’m hoping you could come and maybe see my set.

Man: Oh.... You must want George Shapiro the manager.

Me: Who are you?

Man: I’m George Shapiro, the food broker. George Shapiro the manager is in Beverly Hills. I think the company is Shapiro-West.

Me; Oh my God, I am so sorry, I am so humiliated. I forgot the card he gave me, so I called information, and there was only one listing and I called and I am so sorry. Just forget that I called.

Man: No problem. This isn’t the first time it’s happened.

Me: Thank you for being so understanding.

Man: No problem.... Say....What time did you say you were going on tonight at the Improv?

Me: 8:30.

Man: Hey, can you leave me 4 tickets?

Me: Uh, okay....

Man: Great. Good luck!

Epilogue: I called Shapiro-West in Beverly Hills. George Shapiro the manager was out on the road with Jerry. Maybe next time.

Epilogue II: There never was a next time.

Epilogue III: George Shapiro the food broker and his party of 4 never showed.
