His show was a cultural phenomenon. You've never heard of the least funny comedian. Let's stop the weird Lemmy contrarianism. It makes us look more insanely out of touch than Jerry Seinfeld. (Which is so well known his name is in my auto-correct).

He's a self professed degenerate, and wealthy to boot. He doesn't give a shit what any of us think.
It's nice his dad called and gave him shit though, since his audience is more toxic than he is and he shouldn't be feeding them like that.
I've seen enough of his content to know he's usually pretty quick to shut down talk just like what he got in trouble for so I don't know what got into him that day.
As i got older, I cared more. I uses to listen politely, then I started to look forward to hearing about my friends and family lives. Now I'm one of those guys who calls to ask for updates. 😆
Man of God, everyone...
So what're they gonna do about it?
I think an often overlooked group of Americans are those that just don't give a shit about the middle east. From their perspective it full of assholes led by groups that hurt women and minorities. Religious kooks that are constantly commiting acts of terrorism around the world, and actively regressing year after year. Every attempt to "help" in the area makes everything worse.
I'm from a hugely diverse, well educated, part of the US and growing up the same joke about the middle east was used for the last 40 years. "They should just glass the whole region if they ever want to see peace in the middle east."
It goes without saying everything about that is terrible.
The more well known something is, the more criticism it will receive. Also with movie prices going up and Disney reminding everyone each year how little they care about fans, it's not a surprise people have cooled on their decade old properties.
They are also spending more to make objectively less exciting projects. When the first Avengers movies were coming out it was impressive how well they brought comics to life. It's not impressive any more with so many examples, so they aren't pushing the bounds of expectations anymore. They have to wow people now with writing and performances.
I think the decision makers are also making more diversity choices (in the wrong way) and have the PR teams talk too much about how proud they are of their DEI choices instead of how they like the movie they made.
Black Nick Fury is best Nick Fury. Black Panther was incredibly well received. I felt like Moonknoght was better received than I was expecting. Miles Morales was a very popular Spiderman iteration. So I don't think it's just racism.
They just need to acknowledge who's actually buying tickets. It sometimes feels like the same complaints people make about the WNBA not making a bunch of money.
It's the UN. Why does it fall on the US to do anything while all of the EU kicks back and does nothing as well? Defend your people.
I mean, stadiums don't stay permanent shelters. We use temporary housing pretty often for emergencies, but I could see it turning into "sanctuary city" like structure as well.
As long as it's a temporary stop for the people in it, I think it's ok. It should be safe and comfortable, but also not their best housing option. I would like to see the bottom floor permanently converted into satellite offices for social services as well to better serve these groups, with the goal of getting them the assistance to leave the structure ASAP.
I feel it would be ideal for temporary shelters though. Larger public restrooms. Offices and cubicle partitions likely left over. Climate controls and often small kitchens.
There are lots of articles where I go "I don't give a shit." And I keep it to myself and scroll on. This one makes me actually ask "Who gives a shit?" In a legitimately curious capacity.
Like of all the low stakes, nothing burger, things to ban or get concerned about being banned. It's just too weird for my comprehension.
