Amy Schumer opened Instagram comments today after her nearly 50 pro-Israel feed posts since Oct. 7. These are the most-liked comments so far.


Amy Schumer's most recent Instagram feed post: "Comments on: Couple things. What I want is EVERY HOSTAGE BACK I want safety and freedom from Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis. I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well. Everyone. Just like you. I want peace. You will never see me wishing harm on anyone. Saying I'm Islamophobic or that I like genocide is crazy. So here you go by popular demand. Comments on. Please keep the below in mind. When you say I'm rich please add in 'SELF MADE' I come come [sic] being dirt poor [...] Senator Chuck Schumer is my dads 2nd cousin once rem...
The most-liked comment on Schumer's post with 4,981 likes: "it's so nuts that people, israeli and palestinian alike, are being mercilessly slaughtered and somehow you've made yourself into a martyr. this *actually* might be the first funny thing you've ever said"
The second most-liked comment on Schumer's post: "Messaging a woman of colour and saying she's uneducated, antisemitic and that you'll accept an apology that she absolutely shouldn't give your heinous self is unhinged. We see the posts you delete amy. we've clocked your racism amy. Are you also in Bernice King's dms demanding an apology after twisting her late father's words? We can absolutely see you for who you are."
The third most-liked comment on Schumer's post: "As a Jewish woman, I find your erasure of Jews calling for ceasefire to be disturbing. I truly have empathy for Jews feeling triggered by the Hamas attack and the discourse immediately after. While I understood the intention of much of that discourse was to frame the violence in an often overlooked historical context, I understand it was very painful for many Jews who felt a lack of empathy from parts of their communities. At this point though, as we are faced with more and more horror coming out of Gaza, the centering of not even Israel...
This is the second half of Schumer's statement from today. The second half of Schumer's Instagram statement: "I have never been given any money to support a cause other than tampons. I've never stolen a joke. People calling me a failed comic. I'm the most successful female comedian of all time [...] I'm ugly/fat okay Sorry you aren't attracted to me. I found someone who is. I hope you find someone too. We are all in a lot of pain. What hurts the most is that we all actually love each other. You hate Jews. You don't know why. I still love you."
This thread contains the screenshots of DMs with actress Asia Jackson that the second most-liked comment was referencing.

Russell Brand’s “mainstream media bias” angle is the opposite of what the allegations against him suggest — that mainstream media, which he was enormously successful in, was an enabler in the behavior described by at least five women. thetimes.co.uk/article/russel…
During Brand’s early years on Channel 4, staff alleged Brand asked them to find young female audiences members for him to meet after filming. They allege concerns about this practice were dismissed with “Boys will be boys” rhetoric.

Image
Two former personal assistants who worked for Brand during his mainstream media success said his managers sought them out specifically because they were gay or Brand’s mother’s age — in part because Brand walked around in his underwear or with no underwear.

Three reporters and outlets, years of reporting, and hundreds of sources went into this Russell Brand investigation — one woman alleged he had a 3-month relationship with her when she was 16 and displayed increasingly abusive behavior.
thetimes.co.uk/article/russel…
The woman said when she was 16 a taxi driver begged her not to go into Brand’s house after learning her age. The woman said Brand had her change his name to a woman’s name in her phone to deceive her parents. She said he sexually assaulted her.
Image
Image
The woman said Brand also kissed her mother without consent after her mother dropped her off, leaving her mother “very upset” and pleading for her daughter to come home. The woman hopes the age of consent law can be changed from 16 to 18

“I could never be convinced to join a cult” and “I can spot a manipulator a mile away” and “I could never be abused” are all variations of the same wrong sentiment. Your false belief that you are above manipulation and abuse stems from victim-blaming culture.
Part of the reason this sentiment irks me so much it that it’s based around the fallacy that life is predictive. Even the most psychologically well-adjusted and skeptical person is suspectible to life-altering events and changes that could leave them vulnerable to abuse.
The idea that only stupid, careless, and naive people are abused or recruited into cults or manipulated relies on myths about victimization. Even if you are not vulnerable right now, you were as a child, you will be as an elder, and everything can change in an instant.

A lot of people are defending their in-theater phone use by saying they get bored during long movies. I get that. But here's the thing — boredom is a part of life. Movie theaters are shared spaces. You aren't entitled to distract other people from the art because you're bored.
There's a huge reluctance to be bored, which is staggering in this discussion, because in a movie theater you are constantly being entertained. Just because the entertainment isn't endlessly high-energy doesn't mean you can get on your phone.
You should be bored sometimes! You should be left to nothing but your own thoughts and feelings sometimes! And in movie theaters, even having your phone on "low brightness" is visible to other people. I used to work in a movie theater. It is very obvious to everyone.

Many of our modern woes seem like an extension of bad human behavior, but I’d argue (and research backs me up) that the toxicity on internet spaces is a direct result of bad platform design. These spaces are made by humans, they can be changed by humans. We are not powerless
One of the biggest reasons platforms refuse to take accountability (and shift the burden of bad behaviors onto individuals and victims) is because they make money off the human despair on their platforms. They could change it but they would lose profit. They won’t do that
It would require a lot of work, but Goodreads could make it so that you have to be verified or authorized by authors/publishers to review an unreleased book, instead of relying on the honor system which literally *always* fails in online settings. This is not a people problem

Five days ago, Jonathan Majors’ lawyer asked for his domestic violence misdemeanor charges to be dropped. Although other mens’ DV charges were dropped in court that day, Majors’ weren’t, and a trial was set. And yet, the news has been misconstrued & weaponized against DV victims.
First, this is an AP article about the court appearance. The AP isn’t perfect, but it’s a wire service, so it’s ideally the most neutral, bare bones reporting out there. apnews.com/article/jonath…
In traditional media coverage, the most neutral reporting illustrates ways in which the court system works against DV victims. The more skewed reporting tends to focus on extraneous details that distract from the allegations against Majors or position him as the wronged party.
