ICYMI, here’s #SethSimons’s excellent take on #DanHarmon’s post-#JustinRoiland, S7 press tour. https://www.humorism.xyz/dan-harmon-do-more/
If you’ve never watched #JoePera and his act, a kind of combination of #GarrisonKeillor and #MrRogers, with a little of a woke kinda #RonSwanson thrown in, you’re in for a treat: you should watch his special.

Joe Pera: Slow & Steady | Full Comedy Special
#SethSimons has a great column on #DanHarmon's weaseling about #JustinRoiland. https://www.humorism.xyz/dan-harmon-do-more/
Once again, #SethSimons nails it:
“[#RussellBrand] seems to have intentionally cultivated an audience that would remain loyal to him once his true nature came to light…[This] raises an unsettling question. What do we suppose is happening, exactly, in the vast swaths of the entertainment industry where proudly misogynist grifters have always performed for cultish audiences drawn to them precisely for their misogyny and conspiracism?”
#SethSimons’s essay about #LorneMichaels and the abusive culture he enables in #comedy is worth reading. https://longreads.com/2023/08/17/lorne-michaels-saturday-night-live/
