Thanks, Great Mother!

"The great @NationalMom produced a standup special on Showtime, "Women of a Certain Age," where older female comics got to do about 10 min. But HONESTLY- Showtime should have asked Carol to produce an hour for EACH OF THESE LADIES: http://www.womenofacertainagecomedy.com/cast.html 

Instead, these headliners are chopped into tiny bits, meanwhile an MMA fighter with limited standup experience got a FULL HOUR ON SHOWTIME. (And good for him, seriously!). BUT WHY isn't Carol the next Barry Katz? Why are these EXPERIENCED HEADLINING WOMEN turned into 10 min sets when MMA fighters get a full 60? (Don't answer, we all know why.) Mad respect to @NationalMom and all the ladies! THEY DESERVE MORE! I pay for HBO. FIN."

AND

"Congrats to Rob S who stayed famous because his male friends who got movie deals kept putting him in their male movies that got green lit because men men men men men, I guess I’ll be the dead parent comic with a dead parent tweet legacy, how could I, a female, want more? Btw, this is the pandemic tweeting, not me. Gen X female standup twitter is awake. Half the male standups on streaming platforms are Biden's age. You ppl love Kamala's energy? We're your comedy Kamalas. We're out here, Zooming new shit to crap audio, even though the industry hates us! #COVIDTweetingNotMe LITERALLY a rapist and a pedophile pitched and sold a prank show, while Jackie and me more like as good/dedicated as us are out here asking ppl to mute their speakers so their audio doesn't fuck up our ZOOM show WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK"
