"Don’t tell me what I can and can’t say." Veteran journalist Taylor Ferber wrote this in her unprecedented Playboy feature, challenging the idea that brains and beauty are mutually exclusive, as the only woman who both posed and was a featured writer. After years as Hollywood's "Celebrity Whisperer" who interviewed and humanized the biggest A-listers at every major event, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules around wokeism, conservatism, men, women, media, and culture, getting big guests (like Blake Shelton, Dave Portnoy, Lake Bell) to say what they really think.

I'd take a savage old lady over a phony "Momala" Harris any day.

Easy (and understandable) to pin these situations to: has been v...
It's October 7th 2.0 on college campuses and beyond across the states. Our leaders, who have cherry-picked standards through the cultural conversation, seem to be confused. But it's really not that complicated. Racism is racism. And free speech is free speech. Period.
