Could not care less about some trust fund kids.
Paul F Tompkins is great!
He’s a principal on my beloved Thrilling Adventure Hour, a new-time stage show and podcast in the style of old-time radio. I’ve seen them live twice.
His very excellent improv comedy podcast SPONTANEANATION! with tons of great guests. Link to a live show video.
He had his own fake news show with puppets briefly, No You Shut Up!
He was main cast on Bajillion Dollar Properties, a fake reality show about Hollywood real estate agents.
PFT was in Tangled with a minor part as Short Thug, a passable rap name.
He and his longtime friend Tawny Newsome (who plays Mariner Beckett) co-host the official Star Trek podcast.
Plus he’s basically the king of podcast guesting. He has been in everyone else’s show. And who can forget his impeccable style.
I love Paul F. Tompkins. He pops up EVERYWHERE.
For example, did you know he was in There Will Be Blood!?
I did not! Did you know he’s the MC in Tenacious D: The pick of Destiny?
I’ve actually never seen it, but I guess I should. I discovered him through Mr. Show and then his YouTube series Speakeasy, which was really great. His chemistry with Bob Odenkirk was really fun to watch.
This is just racism against rich people.
No, I will not be explaining my thoughts further. I will simply be collecting my check from the WSJ.
Paul F. Tompkins is excellent and ‘No You Shut Up’ should have gone on for 20 more seasons
I miss Dead Authors Podcast but I’m happy for his success.
Whatever, piss pig
What about Hitler’s kids and kids of his family members?
Ah, they made their choice to never have kids.
I kinda think they don’t need to do that, they are different persons with different backgrounds who’d act differently being knowledgeable of what Germany did there.
But I want this question to hang over the heads of these CEOs, their peers and families. I want them to question themselves.
I am not at all worried about his kids. His kids are set for life.
I am worried about other kids- and adults- suffering due to a much less discerning and less accurate copycat vigilante. It hasn’t happened so far, but it is something that greatly concerns me.
Thompson’s children, like every other human, aren’t just neutral moral agents. Like their father, their position depends on our monstrous system. Sure they could overcome this and adopt good politics, but it will be harder for them than people who earn money honestly.
Remember that the capitalists are always class-conscious and usually show class-solidarity.
Thompson also please guilty to drunk driving in 2017, spent a couple days in jail, became CEO the same month.
Osama bin Laden had kids. Heck one of his kids was shot in the raid that killed him too.
Not one of these news outlets called for a moment of remembering the humanity of them, right?
Murder is wrong, murdering a murder isn’t good, but let’s not pretend to have principles on the matter if we don’t have them
This assumes the kids didn’t already hate his guts.
Literally fatherless behavior

Man. Keep the kids out of the discourse. Have a little class.
I’m sure that seems like the right way to feel. But honestly his kids will grow up to hurt poor people just like their dad.
Jfc. You people are gaslighting his children, whose father was murdered weeks ago.
Get a fucking grip.
Not what gaslighting means…
To manipulate a murdered person’s sons to reevaluate their perception of their own father because of some public lynching?
No one is being manipulated? Their father was the head of an objectively evil corporation (by any ethical philosophy I can think of) and people were celebrating that he was dead, 99% of whom had never heard of him before. Probably worth evaluating why at some point.
No one is hunting down his kids and screaming “YOUR FATHER PERSONALLY MURDERED MY FAMILY”.
