Maybe his next Netflix special will take place in the East Bay or Riverside County and he can rant for 75 minutes about the evils of multi family housing and how developers are out to censor him?

The last piece of Dave Chappelle material I saw was from one of his Netflix specials a few years ago. I hadn't seen anything he had done in the past decade, but a coworker and I watched a clip of his new (at the time) standup expecting a laugh. The whole bit was about how "men need to stop pretending there's such a thing as good 34 year old pussy, because there isn't" (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the premise). He goes on for a few minutes about how it's pointless and stupid to have sex with a woman who is out of her twenties because it's just "not good pussy" anymore. Sure it was offensive on it's face, but I'm not that easily offended. I was offended by how incredibly stupid it was. Like, seriously? That was the punchline? And there wasn't even a punchline, just lazy complaining that he delivered with a bemused "guys, back me up on this" expression. I couldn't believe how empty and uninspired it was.


I didn't watch The Closer just like I haven't watched any of his other recent specials because I have absolutely zero interest in him as a comedian. He's a wealthy, sheltered, aging man who is scared of fading away, trying to cling to relevancy by doing the absolute least amount of work possible. It's obvious that he doesn't have anything of substance to say. His brand has fully tapped into mainstreaming that red pill/men's rights mentality. It's not about 'having a sense of humor about each other'. It's about signaling out to other sheltered, scared men who feel that they are entitled to a certain way of life and are threatened by the possibility that the freedoms they enjoy could be extended to others. They will watch him to see their fragile, indefensible views acknowledged and legitimized. They're an easy audience to play to. Chappelle will get paid. The end.

I've been to Dayton twice to visit the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson. The second time while passing through from a trip backpacking in Kentucky. It's a world class museum for an aviation buff, and the Wright historic sites are interesting too.

It's certainly a vanity project in the same way that tea cafe in Highland Park was for Billy Corgan: so when either have a brain fart of an idea they can walk down the street and try it out.

Wow, I haven't seen it but that's just pathetic. Sounds like a guy whose wife won't fuck him any more, hence the pussy is "no good."

Why do shitty lovers tell on themselves so hard?
