A lot of "you couldn't do x today" commentary is "you can't do x today and have people tell you it's awesome" and those are actually two very different things.

If we all realized you just need to call yourself a comedian and no one expects you to act like a decent human being, I expect the field would me more crowded. https://t.co/mahbXOFiag

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

Unless they’re demanding the government silence him, I have a solution to your tearing problem:

Realize that free speech includes freedom to not host some content and the freedom to call on others to not host that content.

That is the “more speech” response to “bad speech” https://t.co/yHS1xHy7UY

It’s hard to keep hearing Rogan defenders smear anyone who dared criticize him. Some of the stuff he did was crap, something he’s finally admitting. Maybe it’s time for his defenders to admit that they defended too much of that crap, not that this was solely about free speech. https://t.co/7kxUj5LHnO

The Whoopi Goldberg case features woke progressives giving weight to intent and context regarding a statement that some interpreted as racist, accepting an apology, and opposing professional sanction over the statement; the very things their critics say they need to do. https://t.co/M1JV6HKWdn

I'll be honest the best part of Black history month is watching racists be angry for the entire 28 days.... pic.twitter.com/Gu8RCUooAq

Amy Coney Barrett never tried a case to verdict or argued an appeal in any court, and had only 2 years’ experience practicing law when she was confirmed to SCOTUS. I don’t want to hear another word about whether the Black woman Biden will nominate is qualified for the job.

Did I mention how America has the best most tremendous healthcare system ever and if you don't believe this you are a raging Communist Marxist Liberal Radical Left Pedophile Treasonous Nazi? https://t.co/4tT8JvTYH2

Um… he speaks. A lot. To a lot of people. All the time. And he gets paid handsomely to do so. And he has countless defenders. But no one must feel obligated to be associated with him if they believe what he’s doing is wrong, or even harmful. This isn’t hard. https://t.co/yHnCd3AlCO

I love how people who want to wear masks are derided as “living in fear” by people who want to carry guns
