For the love of God, please stop with the “but he has black friends” defense. It means you’ve never grappled with the complexity of race. Stop it. Please. Maybe Rogan isn’t racist. But that defense doesn’t help us answer that. FYI: One of Dylann Roof’s best friends was black. https://t.co/PSUfjFRDjm

Discouraging vaccination with inaccurate info & white people using the n-word both bother many people.
You can think they're wrong to be bothered, or dislike how they're expressing it. But you can stop searching for a hidden alternate motive. Those things really do bother people.

I don’t like the term vaccine skeptics. We already had a term for these people: assholes.

Rogan comes out and apologizes for bad behavior and pledges to do better, acknowledged that - gulp - he has done some things he regrets. Telling that that seems alarming to many of his defenders. https://t.co/B0RUbvrfwn

Didn’t you work to make a few Oberlin students mildly criticizing a cafeteria dish into a national story two weeks after the San Bernardino attack, when the US was fighting in Afghanistan, Russia intervened in Syria, unemployment was rising, climate change was getting worse, etc? https://t.co/cJ5Q2nFFf8

On the scale of tsuris suffered by the Jews over the past… kind of forever, no it’s not *that* awful. The Nazis, Babylonians, and Romans kind of fill the top billion spots.

But it is shitty and I have little sympathy for a dude getting matzos on his arm when he wanted strength. https://t.co/OcgVGcAVY9
