By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.

The character Pie'o'pah from Clive Barker's Imajica has a sort of "third" genitalia which can both penetrate and be penetrated. Through the story, the main character is kind of magically seduced by this, initially revolted, but it becomes a point of personal growth which helps unlock his true potential. It's a really cool and weird (and long) story with some pretty ahead-of-its time pontification on trans and non-binary identities.

Look around to see if I can rummage up the necessary implements to brew a pot of tea.

Well, see... The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn't support will as well.

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It's funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it's hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

I've had a guy tell me he votes for Trump because he's trying to take a balanced centrist view of things. But dude, if Trump is the center, wtf are your extremes?

Isn't the core of jazz improvisation and breaking the "rules" of music? If that's what they're doing, why would we disqualify it as jazz? A lot of folks had this opinion of Miles Davis doing jazz fusion in the 70s on Bitches Brew and Live/Evil with his squeaky, borderline abusive trumpeting, or of Herbie Hancock doing weird space synth stuff on Sextant and funk fusion on Headhunters. I don't see how what you're saying isn't just gatekeeping that's not really in the spirit of jazz.
