The hook of the show was R-rated parenting jokes - good hook - but the content didn't deliver. Weird made-for-Netflix staging, too. Instead of coming onstage to walk on/off each comic, the comics walked off and Schumer returned 30 seconds later to shoot her intro. — PolitiTweet.org

At the Amy Schumer "Parental Advisory" show (mostly bad), it was interesting that a trans comic had a set right between two comics who made pretty hackneyed "don't tell me gender is a construct!" jokes. They weren't joking about trans people, more the pronouns-in-bio folx. — PolitiTweet.org

They're all ineffective! The Senate vote this week won't do anything, either. Battle was lost in 2016 but you can't build a politics around "yeah, shouldn't have lost that one." https://t.co/kRaw0nI40t — PolitiTweet.org

One of the signs made a "la-la land" reference but blotted out some letters and - are you ready for this? - turned it into "HA HA land." — PolitiTweet.org

Saw two acts at the "Netflix is a Joke" festival - hit and miss, best surprise was Nigel Ng. Didn't see anyone buying the merch, which sucked. Real "we already bought all the competition" vibe. https://t.co/UmWdRaPUZs — PolitiTweet.org

@rwlesq @jbarro Netflix cannibalized all the cheap standup from Comedy Central, YouTube made everybody a VJ and obviated the need for MTV. Web 2.0 (I guess that’s what we call it) wrecked the old Viacom channel strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

@jabster42 I don't know who you're trying to bait here. My take is that the 2016 election settled this, and it was clearly to any adult who paid attention that Roe was dead. — PolitiTweet.org

What you end up with is a doom loop - activists staging attention-getting, ineffective protests, media (esp. conservative media) highlighting the craziest things that happen, the party ostensibly aligned with activists distancing itself, activists get pissed off. — PolitiTweet.org

@MSignorile No, it didn't. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans will jujitsu crazy-looking protests into attacks on Democrats; Democrats will apologize. It's another way "Roe" will change things. Dems believe all the screaming during the Kavanaugh confirmation (which obv failed to stop it) hurt them. https://t.co/RJxiscWgCb — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Biden campaign embraced protests in 2020 - remember the DNC? - and Dems have spent the time since apologizing for not condemning their messages, like "defund the police." They're back to the norm, parties distancing themselves from protests. https://t.co/sVwZFuB8kc — PolitiTweet.org
