I watched Matt Rife's crowd work on TikTok and found him charming and funny. After watching his new Netflix special, which has caused him to be widely and sharply criticized, I regret giving him my attention. If you don't know who Matt Rife is, consider yourself lucky. — Read the rest

Antivegetable crusader Jordan Peterson has a new edition of one of this books out, and the best thing about it is how it misrepresents quotes from negative reviews as blurbs.

The book cover quoted a line from the Times saying the book was "a philosophy of the meaning of life".

Self-help guru and alt-right darling Jordan B. Peterson is making the rounds again—but not for his usual waffle about how chaos is an inherently feminine quality or asserting that certain races are smarter than others (both real claims he's made). — Read the rest

You have to give it to him.

Fans of @GreyDeLisle reading Trump's tweets as Princess Azula and @PresVillain photoshopping Trump quotes into comics will enjoy Skeletor reciting far-right personality Jordan Peterson's "I'd Rather Die Than Delete Truthful Tweet For Cancel Creeps" response to being banned from Twitter for making disparaging comments about actor Elliott Page. — Read the rest

Twitter presence Jordan Peterson claimed that Elliot Page's top surgery and the doctor performing it was "criminal". He's now admitting he was incorrect, even as he compares such procedures to Nazi experimentation, and says he has "post-coital, so to speak, regrets" about the remark. — Read the rest

Canadian pop psychologist Jordan Peterson's feelings were hurt so much by people making fun of him for body-shaming a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model that he announced he is backing away from Twitter. On May 16, Peterson posted a photo of model Yumi Nu on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the comment "Sorry. — Read the rest

In this footage: Jordan Peterson, looking like he's been chained to a radiator in a Hezbollah safe house for two years, is challenged by right-wing provocateur Andy Ngo to explain why Antifa is bad. Peterson is discursive in his thoughts, but concludes that Antifa are 1) worse than animals and 2) taking revenge against God for the crime of Being. — Read the rest

Marvel's beloved supervillain, Red Skull, is posed as a comically reactionary lifestyle guru in his latest comic-book incarnation, authored by Te Nahesi Coates. Jordan Petersen, the comically reactionary lifestyle guru, regards it as a parody of him specifically, and is mad about it online. — Read the rest

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian academic whose mysticism-soaked misogyny revolves around the social hierarchy of some lobster species and the literal existence of witches and dragons; somehow, when this rubbish is blended with anodyne life advice for angry manbabies, it creates a potent elixir that transforms internet dudes into an army of argumentative internet assholes.

Jordan Peterson, the Jungian psychologist, vaguely Gorean guru of the "masculine spirit" and crusader against political correctness, has threatened to sue author Kate Manne and Vox.com over an interview where she described portions of his book as sexist.

Manne is an author and Cornell University assistant professor. — Read the rest

Natalie Wynn, creator of the Contrapoints YouTube channel, is a lapsed academic well-versed in the lingo of both 4chan and Tumblr, making her the perfect person to construct an entertaining takedown of Jordan Peterson.

Jordan Peterson is really easy to make fun of — what with the mystical nonsense and the pseudoscientific evolutionary biology — but there are millions of (largely white, largely young, largely male) readers who've found his "12 Rules for Life" to be a balm for their souls and a rallying cry for a movement that has legitimized the most murderous strains of toxic masculinity.

Alt-right darling Jordan Peterson is a big fan of hierarchies, which he says are innate to the human condition, something he knows because lobsters have social hierarchies.

The New York Times was just for starters: Something Awful got the real deal from manhood's true savior.

Misinformation and false curses abound in the age of COVID-19–ivermectin, anyone?–no one has been doing it quite like Utah resident Gordon Pedersen, which sounds like what you'd name a failed clone of Jordan Peterson.

Pedersen proudly donned a lab coat and appeared in a series of YouTube videos advertising what he called 'structural alkaline silver' to cure COVID-19, and has finally been arrested by Utah County authorities after three years of searching following him skipping out on court back in 2020. — Read the rest

Elon Musk continues to strip Twitter of features used to make fun of him. Next up on the chopping block? The public Likes tab, as well as the brand new Subscriptions tab.
