Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is digging his heels in after videos circulated in which he used racist language, including the n-word.

“I’m un-cancellable,” he said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday. “You don’t cancel me, I cancel you!”

Portnoy was responding to a 2016 Barstool video clip recently reposted by the Twitter account Resist Programming , in which Portnoy took aim at Colin Kaepernick, a football player who made headlines for kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police violence — and still doesn’t have a job because of the backlash.

Portnoy said that when he saw Kaepernick kneeling, he thought he was “an ISIS guy.”

“Throw a head wrap on him, and he’s a terrorist,” he continued. “I thought he had some terrorist, Arab, Arabic theology.”

Before you ask, yes there were two other men in this segment, and yes, they both seemed to think all of this was fine. Apparently they agreed with the reasoning Portnoy offered before embarking on the ISIS rant: “I don’t think if you think something and don’t say or act upon it, you could be called a racist.”

Except, in this case, he very much did say it.

After Resist Programming resurfaced the video, Portnoy defended himself, saying it was taken out of context and mentioning instances in which he defended Kaepernick. But a recently created Twitter account called Expose Barstool Racists quickly clapped back, sharing a video of Portnoy singing along to a song by rapper Ja Rule whose lyrics included the n-word.

Portnoy founded Barstool Sports in 2003 and grew it into a thriving online blog that provides sports coverage and lighter fare such as “Horniest Man Alive Logs on to Twitter and Ranks the Top 370 Porn Stars of All Time.” He’s been accused by some, including the Daily Beast , of cultivating a “culture of online hate” by aggressively attacking critics on social media and encouraging fans to do the same. In an episode of HBO’s “Real Sports,” reporter Soledad O’Brien said that when she tried to interview over a dozen female Barstool Sports employees about their experiences almost all declined, citing fear of “rape threats.”

On June 29, comedic legend Carl Reiner passed away at the age of 98.

The Bronx-born son of Jewish immigrants, Reiner served in the military during WWII and embarked on a long and storied comic career in the postwar era. With fellow jokester Mel Brooks, he formed one half of a hit comedy duo; he also created “The Dick van Dyke Show,” winning five Emmys for his work. In his later years, Reiner wrote novels and cultivated an outspoken political voice: in recent weeks he expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and in some of his last tweets he mourned the election of President Trump. He also emerged as an avuncular and generally menschy figure, known for sharing dinner with Brooks every night during their old age.

It’s no surprise that social media is filled with tributes to Reiner’s artistic legacy, sharp wit and kind heart. Here’s how fellow comedians, entertainers and admirers are remembering him.

Comedian Sarah Silverman said Reiner “embodies the word mensch.”

So sad to hear about @carlreiner Not only did he make my favorite TV& movies (see:Where’s Poppa) but his humanity was beyond compare. His heart was so full of love. Never left his house empty handed- book, space pen, Swiss Army knife. RIP to a man that embodies the word mensch pic.twitter.com/mazBmwznkX — Sarah Silverman (@SarahKSilverman) June 30, 2020

CNN host Jake Tapper posted a picture of Reiner in uniform, presumably dating from his military service during WWII.

Writer and producer David Simon said he was honored to have once been the butt of a Carl Reiner joke.

Already, I am upset to be living in a world without Carl Reiner and I only know the man his public work and essence. But I have one small remembrance of a random encounter that makes me laugh and I’m gonna share: Long time ago I was a newspaper reporter and I had the chance… — David Simon (@AoDespair) June 30, 2020

Actor Josh Gad said the news made an already difficult year even worse.

As if 2020 weren’t cruel enough. Goodbye to one of the greatest comedic minds of all time. Thank you for always making us laugh and for always giving us joy. My deepest condolences go out to the entire Reiner family. RIP #CarlReiner pic.twitter.com/IeJ3RkG2vS — Josh Gad (@joshgad) June 30, 2020

Journalist Dan Rather, one of Reiner’s contemporaries, described the comedian’s life as “a roadmap through American culture.”

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of show business legend Carl Reiner. An innovator, entertainer and beloved icon, his nearly century of life was like a roadmap through American culture. His wit and courage never left him. My heartfelt condolences to his family. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) June 30, 2020

TV personality Ben Mankiewicz shared one of Reiner’s last tweets, written just hours before he died, a criticism of President Trump.

Carl Reiner’s last tweet - sent the day he died - is a reflection of his spirit and the indefatigable patriotism of a World War II veteran. https://t.co/WMrbbHsBOp — Ben Mankiewicz (@BenMank77) June 30, 2020

Actor Max Brooks, the son of Reiner’s longtime partner-in-comedy Mel Brooks, said the news was “a loss for me, a loss for my family, a loss for all of us.”

I’ve known Carl Reiner my whole life and I can’t imagine a world without him. A loss for me, a loss for my family, a loss for all of us. — Max Brooks (@maxbrooksauthor) June 30, 2020

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer paid tribute to the comedian, who was one of his constituents.

Honoring the hilarious life of Carl Reiner, Bronx born and raised, he played the Broadway stage and helped make New Rochelle famous as the home of Rob and Laura Petrie. He was one of the true legends of American comedy. https://t.co/eJbz71dDmI — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 30, 2020

Jason Alexander, aka “Seinfeld’s” George Costanza, said Reiner’s contributions to comedy are “eternal.”

Carl Reiner was comedy genius. Often that genius made other funny people even funnier. But give him a stage and he could spin laughter out of any moment. I watched him do it time and again. His contributions to comedy are eternal. And a lovely man, as well. #ripCarlReiner — jason alexander (@IJasonAlexander) June 30, 2020

TV host Joy Reid shared a photo of Reiner taking a knee.

Carl Reiner was a truly great man. Brilliant and inspired as a creative, which thankfully we all got to enjoy, and clearly also just a good person.

Bette Midler fondly remembered her days working with Reiner.

Political analyst Bill Kristol shared a vote-by-mail advertisement in which Reiner participated just weeks before his death.

I’m so sorry to hear of Carl Reiner’s death. What a life!
I want to say how proud we are that he was featured, just six weeks ago, in our vote by mail ad. Carl won’t be there to vote safely in November, as he wished—but he’ll be with us in spirit.
May his memory be a blessing. pic.twitter.com/xRjw3WqpI4 — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) June 30, 2020

Comedian Steve Martin called Reiner “my greatest mentor.”

Twitter’s newest trend is a twisted travel game for the quarantine era.

It’s the “I know a spot” meme: people suggest a “cool” place to go, which turns out to be a destination you don’t want to visit. For example:

men be like “i know a spot” & then take you to rock bottom — ratatouille (@nussyrox) June 26, 2020

Meme-tracking website “Know Your Meme” traced “I know a spot” to a June 22 tweet mocking unimaginative date spots. Just eight days later, everyone on Twitter wants to take you somewhere. People are using the meme to heap adoration on their favorite K-pop stars, take unsubtle potshots at ex-partners and, of course, remind followers to stay home:

Dr. Fauci be like “I know a place” and then tells you it’s your home. — Jesus Jiménez (@jesus_jimz) June 30, 2020

It should come as no surprise that the Internet’s Jews know a lot of spots and are very insistent you go to all of them, right now. Here’s a selection of their best suggestions.

These (in)famous Biblical locales.

Just two months after parting ways with his last poolside makeout partner, Timothée Chalamet seems to have found himself another.

Photos released by the Daily Mail on Tuesday showed Chalamet, looking like he could stand to eat a few more of the New York bagels he purportedly enjoys , enjoying an unmistakably un-platonic afternoon with Mexican actress Eiza González in Cabo San Lucas. Guitars were strummed. Hair was petted. Light canoodling occurred.

Timothée and Eiza González in Mexico recently • #timothéechalamet #timotheechalamet

A post shared by Timothée Chalamet Updates (@tchalamet.updates) on Jun 23, 2020 at 5:59pm PDT

If you feel like you’ve already seen these snapshots, that’s probably because they’re situationally indistinguishable from the year and a half of waterside make-out photos we enjoyed during Chalamet’s PDA-heavy relationship with fellow waif-let Lily-Rose Depp. Famous for literally munching on each other’s faces while on yachts, Depp and Chalamet reportedly split in April. While most millennials would be distraught to find themselves newly single in the midst of a global pandemic, this is Timothée Chalamet, so the rules don’t apply — coronavirus or no, the courting rituals of bikini-clad starlets must go on.

González, 30, is famous for her role in the televnovela “Lola: Érase una vez.” A household name in her native Mexico, she broke into the American film scene by starring in films like “Baby Driver” and “Alita: Battle Angel.” Chalamet is famous for crawling all over Armie Hammer in “Call Me By Your Name” and having bone structure so exquisite that even this bowl cut kind of works for him.

Chalamet’s fandom is almost as robust as his thick, thick eyebrows, and their reaction to the abrupt end of his bachelor status is best encapsulated by this GIF of Florence Pugh (Timmy’s Little Women co-star, who spends most of the movie throwing herself at his feet the way fans wish they could in real life) sobbing her heart out.

We’d say their mothers are equally sad to lose this nice(ish) Jewish boy just as he got back on the market, except that a) we suspect that the name Timothée Chalamet means nothing to most of them and b) international travel, maskless hangouts, and midsummer sun exposure may be three of the biggest mom nightmares right now.

Not all opponents of the unconfirmed relationship are motivated by jealousy. Hours after pictures of the unconfirmed couple circulated yesterday, fans resurfaced photos of González wearing blackface during a 2007 episode of “Lola,” when she was 15.

timothée chalamet be like black lives matter but also my girlfriend did blackface — $faithevelyns (@faithchalamet) June 24, 2020

Shortly after, González apologized publicly, saying that it wasn’t her decision to wear the offensive costume. “I am deeply sorry and ashamed about having worn blackface makeup shown in the images circulating. As a 15-year-old child actor on my first job in a Mexican telenovela, I was pressured against my will, and with no negotiating power, I could not advocate for myself in the situation,” she told Page Six.

Caroline Calloway, the only person on the internet who can’t be cancelled (so it seems), is at it again with an curious explanation of latent anti-Semitism in her unstoppable social media presence.

For the uninitiated, Calloway is an influencer making a name from her somewhat hate-able and extremely watchable online behavior. She’s gained (and embraced) a reputation as a “scammer” after accepting payment for and then failing to deliver both a book and a “creativity tour” for her acolytes. For the past year, Calloway and her former amanuensis/ghostwriter, Natalie Beach, have been feuding via cryptic Instagram posts and biting personal essays . Predictable scorn and approbation followed these public debacles, but literally nothing can or will deter Calloway from cultivating (or fans from consuming) a social media presence she describes as a “24/7 reality show” broadcasting her “consciousness.”

A post shared by Caroline Calloway (@carolinecalloway) on May 12, 2020 at 4:44pm PDT

On Thursday, Calloway live-streamed an hour-long interview with the Cambridge Union, a debating society at ye olde Cambridge University that prides itself on being the oldest such club in the world.

Towards the end of a discussion of influencer culture that lasted about 50 more minutes than it should have, interviewer Hussein Kesvani asked Calloway to explain a meme she’d posted in April, which showed a hook-nosed man relaxing on a palanquin and dangling money in front of the two shabbily-dressed servants struggling to carry it.

Antisemitic meme posting. pic.twitter.com/qlRUlHiPOj — easy bake coven 👹 (@ro_town_) June 18, 2020

Calloway acknowledged the meme’s anti-Semitic connotations and said she’d apologized after several people pointed them out. Then she offered an unusual, but not totally illogical, explanation for posting it in the first place: she’d become inured to anti-Semitic imagery through her favorite children’s books and movies.

“As a lover of Harry Potter, and a girl who was raised on Disney, I’ve been really desensitized to the idea of hook-nosed villains, whether it was a Disney witch or the goblins at Gringotts,” she said. Calloway was referring to the unsettling creatures who control the banking world in J.K. Rowling’s beloved series, who do indeed have hooked noses and care primarily about money (this critique of the Harry Potter universe is the single thing on earth Caroline Calloway and my mother have in common).

“I take full responsibility for those associations. It’s a privilege I didn’t have to learn about them because they didn’t affect me,” she said.

For a hot second, it seemed like we were witnessing that rarest of online phenomena: a public figure offering a cogent analysis of her own screw-ups.

BUT. Just a minute later, Calloway proceeded to double down on several other questionable posts. In an Instagram story during the coronavirus pandemic, Calloway posted an image from a 17th-century Japanese erotic art tradition called shunga , which depicted a woman having sex with a bat. The caption read , “the first human case of the corona outbreak, but make it porn.” At a time when many, including American lawmakers , were blaming coronavirus outbreaks on culinary practices in Wuhan markets and stoking prejudice about Chinese culture, the post seemed callous at best, affirmatively racist at worst.

But this, it seems, is where Calloway’s appetite for self-education ends: despite the caption, she insisted she wasn’t responsible to any conclusions viewers drew from a piece of art she posted.

Furthermore, she dared anyone to come at her over the post. “I don’t apologize for things I’m not sorry for,” she said.

OK, Caroline. Thank you for examining your schnozz stereotypes, but come back to the Schmooze when your newfound goodwill towards Jews extends to other cultures as well.
