so the critics still want to yell at dave chappelle. legendary comedian just released a new netflix special and you know what that means. once again, it's time to get mad at jokes. true, critics in the media are bluer in the face than a choking smurf. you remember back in 2021 the usual suspects were outraged that chappelle dared to joke about transgender people in his act. trans people were a gassed at the professional comedian, who makes fun at everybody, made fun of them. which seems strange not making fun of you seems the opposite of inclusion. still netflix employees staged a walkout. they demanded content warnings to protect their precious feelings when really they're the ones who should come with a content warning and have it tattooed on their foreheads that reads, handle with care, we're [bleep].

the lives of individuals like alpheus chappell.in fact, the first american novel about hypodermic use drug addiction was published 1881, featured as its protagonist, a morphine addicted civil war veteran, not someone else. of course, today this is a huge genre of american literature. books like dopesick regularly make the new york times bestseller list. the first one of these portrayed the civil war during the progressive era in 1914, when congress debated creating for the time ever federal regulations on drugs like opium and other narcotics, civil war veterans came up over, over and over again as a congressman debated these new and far reaching laws on the floor of the house. when they referred to this phenomenon as the so-called soldier's disease, the pervasiveness of the addicted civil war veteran is surprising, however, to historians of drugs because it runs counter to the narrative of what is called drug history. the story of drug use and abuse and regulation in the united states. typically, when historians of opiate addiction
