a pathetic show from a man who won many hearts defending 9/11 responders, many of whom were harmed by inadequate respiratory protection; such a shame that not only did stewart fail to internalize the grim reality that gvmts shirk responsibility, abandon victims, but that he’s joined in the derision.
Dear Jon Stewart c/o @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
I recently watched, with great surprise and disappointment, a weeklyshowpodcast segment in which you and other "personalities," gleefully mocked and derided the relatively small subset of individuals who continue to wear a face mask in public.

I NEED to stop my earbuds from activating Voice Control, and apparently turning off the “Voice Control” slider isn’t doing it.
Yesterday my phone hit me with “Do you want to call [ex roommate you have beef with] or [hookup from six years ago]?”
