Why did the Riyadh Comedy Festival result in so much controversy?

My friend and comedian believes there’s a very simple explanation:

“The reason why it’s a big deal is because their fans care. I think if it was only us snowflakes and social justice warriors, Bill Burr wouldn’t feel the need to address it on his podcast.”

Full interview available on my Substack.

Yes, this is real. Date and location TBD. Exhibition, obviously.

Had the opportunity to catch the remastered ‘Ran’ in a movie theater. This is the masterpiece by my personal favorite movie director, Akira Kurosawa (I mention this a lot). Every time I see this movie I see or feel something different than the last viewing experience. This time it occurred to me how much Kurosawa locks you into the dialogue. If you miss even a little, an important part of the story is lost and the movie makes less sense. Yet it’s also a verbally dense film. It’s rare to see a script so lengthy yet so rich and absolutely critical for storytelling. Good art should force you to wrestle with it like this. love this movie so much.

Martin Luther King in 1965 marching for the establishment of DC home rule. The ability for this city to control its own affairs was a Civil Rights era victory. Hands of DC, now and forever.

The poster for Super Rizin 4 is one of the best fight posters in MMA I’ve seen in quite some time. And yes, I used the PRIDE theme music because I can’t find Rizin music in the system.

The amount of people who claim to be very patriotic while desecrating the American flag has long been a pet peeve of mine. This is especially true on July 4th. You aren’t under obligation to respect the flag, but if you claim that’s something that matters to you, there are guidelines on how it can be used and displayed. Please consider them on a day like today. Be safe out there, folks.

There’s a record store I found on Pennsylvania Ave devoted strictly to DC music, e.g. punk and go-go. What a gem. It’s really a place to preserve the culture of the city. It was encyclopedic in scope and brought me such joy to see.

Visit if you’re ever in the area. So cool.

It’s a good time and very fun at Substack. If you’re like me and you want to talk to people who actually have interesting things to say or produce work that isn’t constrained by algorithms, give it a try. We’re doing something different over there.
