Actor Samuel L. Jackson is having none of Joe Rogan's flimsy explanations for his repeated use of the n-word on his podcast.

Rogan, who has drawn a large amount of negative attention over the past few months due to his use of his platform to spread anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, has been using the word rather liberally over the course of his podcast. A compilation video of him fully saying the word is available on YouTube.

Though Rogan says he is done using the word, people, including Jackson, are not so quick to move on from past transgressions.




Jackson said of Rogan's use of the word:

“He is saying nobody understood the context when he said it.”
“But he shouldn’t have said it."
"It’s not the context, dude — it’s that he was comfortable doing it."
"Say that you’re sorry because you want to keep your money, but you were having fun and you say you did it because it was entertaining.”




Jackson is not under any delusion that there is appropriate context to say the n-word, however; he just thinks Joe Rogan's podcast isn't it.

But on Django Unchained, a movie about slavery in the racist 19th century Southern USA, Leonardo DiCaprio was forced to say the word a number of times. When he expressed reservations about the script, Jackson told him he "[had] to" say it to tell the story correctly.

Ultimately DiCaprio chose to say the word because Jackson and Jamie Foxx forced him, with Foxx explaining to the actor that it was a function of his job.





In response to Rogan's spread of misinformation, several artists, including Joni Mitchell and Neil Diamond, have pulled their discographies from Spotify.

The podcast remains on the air.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
