REad it - it is fascinating.

Ray Lewis! Idiots from both sides of the punditocracy! More.

And let's just say that many. many, MANY so-called "influencers" just had their gravy train blown off the rails.

I got kind of excited when I received a notification on Twitter that Ryan Adams is a new follower.

But, it was a different Ryan Adams.

I'm peak Dad after work when I still have my white v-neck undershirt on, and a pair of athletic shorts. Bare feet, son.

Jay Feely's apparently getting a lot of grief over this tweet and has even apologized.



I think it's pretty funny.

It's funny. I am sure all parties involved we okay with it. Had he been scoping out the prom venue with an AR, then I would understand any outrage.

I think I saw as many feminists comments as I did anti-gun comments. Also ... kinda imagine being that kid's parents?

So?

One of these days Alice...POW! Riiiight in the kisser!

That was once funny, too. Then...it became OK for women to speak up about domestic abuse, and all of a sudden...not so funny anymore.

Feely made a joke involving a gun, implying a threat to a high school student.

The kick is up...(and it clanks off the uprights...)

You can have my dad jokes when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

ETA: While I still don't care about the joke in the slightest, this is the correct take

Eh. John Hughes once had jokes involving rape imbedded in his movies from the 80s. Times change. What was once funny can evolve to become cringeworthy today. That said, while I get the meaning of the joke, the incredible tone deafness is what draws its deserved criticism.
