Marcus had used his page to donate money to groups like Planned Parenthood and No Kid Hungry, as part of what he calls an effort to “troll for good.” (His Instagram bio includes a description from a former follower: “You’re like if John Oliver made a meme page. “During a pandemic that is raging out of control in our state because no one believes in science, this was the legislation they decided to pursue,” the writer messaged Marcus, adding, “As a survivor of sexual assault, waking up the past few days to see your fundraiser for Planned Parenthood has literally made my week.” On Friday, the organization secured a court order that will keep it from going into effect. Planned Parenthood immediately sued over the law. “I finally felt heard and safe.”Īnother wrote in to condemn South Carolina for passing, on Thursday, a law that would ban abortion after just six weeks of pregnancy-before many people even know they’re pregnant. “They made me feel less alone and never judged,” one person wrote. Marcus has also taken to posting some of the direct messages he’s received from Planned Parenthood supporters. “If we’re going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch,” said Limbaugh, who later apologized after a furious backlash. Infamously in 2012, Limbaugh denounced Sandra Fluke, then a Georgetown University law student, after she testified in Congress in support of health insurance coverage for birth control, by calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute.” “Require that each one occur with a gun.” “You know how to stop abortion?” he once remarked. Limbaugh liked to take particular aim at feminists-or, as he called them, “feminazis.” ![]() “He is really, to me, the embodiment of Trump’s America, of hatred, of the division that we see in our country right now.” “Rush Limbaugh has been someone who’s spent decades clogging the airwaves with sexist, homophobic, racist, endlessly discriminatory propaganda,” said Marcus, who singled out Limbaugh’s track record of mocking AIDS and those who died from it as particularly offensive. Before launching the fundraiser, he’d posted several memes that, if they didn’t outright celebrate Limbaugh’s death, made it clear that Marcus was not sorry that the conservative icon was dead.

One of my own fondest moviegoing experiences was in 1992 or 1993 when (drop, names, drop!) QT took Julia Sweeney, Kathy Griffin and a few others ( David Cross? Janeane Garofalo? Phil LaMarr? Margaret Cho? I can't remember who all was there that day.) and me to see Jackie Chan in "Supercop" (aka "Police Story 3") at the Laemmle in Santa Monica. ![]() I mean, who else would even do something like this? The guy demonstrates again and again that he lives and breathes movies. A predictably eclectic list of QT's favorite films that have been made since he started directing in 1992.
