Bill Burr tells Shaquille O’Neal why he apologizes for hurting people but refuses to bow to fake outrage

Shaquille O’Neal: “Have you ever said a joke that offended somebody?”

Bill Burr: “If it really hurt them, I felt bad and I apologized.”

Shaquille O’Neal: “why”

Bill Burr:

“If I did a joke and someone in the crowd had a kid with special needs, and the term I used really hurt them, I felt terrible about it.”

“I was like, ‘Alright, note to self, that word isn’t just a word to people.’”

“I don’t need to be doing this.”

“There are plenty of other words I can use.”

“I learned something that night.”

“But if it’s just false outrage because it’s trending, I don’t care about that.”

“If someone says, ‘Your joke didn’t make me feel safe in this space,’ I just think, ‘Alright… go find another space.’”

ROB MANFRED: Hey Hal, we're in the middle of a coordinated propaganda campaign to try and convince an unwitting American public that baseball is not very profitable. Make sure you lay low, just for the next year or so

HAL: Oh fuck

Sing to me, O Muse, a story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

you know, at the time, i would have certainly read a story premised around the fact that lindsey graham cared more about a reporter's fashion than a mass shooting

Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises

“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”

“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”

“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”

The online DSAers got it wrong with Platner. Schumer got it wrong with Mills. Maybe this time everyone who is not from Maine just needs to take a seat.

Literally every time fascist marchers show up in DC they cannot figure out the metro. There's always a video. They are fundamentally not built for complex society.
