My complicated thoughts on a complicated situation. Also I call Trump a monkey at a typewriter, and I make a bunch of jokes at Marco Rubio’s expense.

Trump’s favorite network CBS having technical difficulties during its LIVE New Years Eve broadcast is a perfect way to end 2025. I’m blaming Bari Weiss.🤣

Stephen A. Smith talking politics. LEAVE IT BEHIND IN 2025! We don’t need it. What else do you want to leave behind in 2025? Tell me in the comments.

Far too many people in my inbox treating today like a regular Monday.😬

Happy Kwanzaa Eve!

A round up of all the ways 2025 is going out as disappointing as it came in. 😬 open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

An autographed copy of my first book has been at Walden Pond Books on Grand Avenue in Oakland for yeeeeeears. If you are in the Town come get it for someone you love, so I don’t have to feel awkward every time I see it.😬 Happy Holidays!

This is booth from the convention for Charlie Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA.😳 If Charlie Kirk is supposed to be White MLK in what universe does White Coretta Scott King do this? These are not serious people, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take them seriously.

Here is a small selection of my favorite books sent to me this year. As you a scrambling for gifts, maybe hit up a local bookstore & pick up one of these. There are lighter reads, heavier reads, a couple cookbooks, the definitive Bruce Lee biography, & even a novel. Or get ‘em from @bookshop.org.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA! THIS Saturday, December 20 at 3pm, I’ll be at the Punch Line with Nato Green! Get your tickets at the link: www.ticketmaster.com/w-kamau-bell....

I say this with all due respect.

This sounds more like a cry for help than an advertisement for A.I. Maybe that’s how you’re using ChatGPT, buddy. But not I.😬 Read the rest of my thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

Sam Alt_Man tried to act like a human on The Tonight Show. It did not go well. Also, I think it was the first time I’ve ever seen Jimmy Fallon legitimately laugh.😬

Common sense gun reform in a nonsensical country? The USA & Australia. Two countries. Two totally different responses to a mass shooting over the same weekend. Check out www.livefreeusa.org and @bradyunited.org for more information on gun violence prevention & common sense gun law reform.

San Francisco Punchline, December 20, 3pm Just a few tickets left! Get ‘em here: www.ticketmaster.com/w-kamau-bell...

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

ROCHESTER, NY, see you at the Nazareth University Arts Center, THIS Saturday night, DECEMBER 6th at 7:30pm! BAY AREA! I’ll be back in time for a NEW DATE at the San Francisco Punch Line on DECEMBER 20th at 3pm! Tix here: linktr.ee/WKamauBell

Remember how after Disney bought the Star Wars IP we went from like six Star Wars movies to like a million? This is gonna be like that but times a billion.

Some thoughts on The New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman calling Louis CK’s recent work “underexamined”.👀😬

I fixed your headline, New York Times! You’re welcome!

Let’s blackout Black Tuesday! Let’s skip Cyber Monday!

Take this with you to Thanksgiving. You might run into someone who needs it.😬

Second episode of my short form new series WHO’S WITH ME… AT THE FOOD BANK? We are at the Alameda County Community in Oakland. Watch it below. Less than 3 minutes, but it is so filled with goodness it will feel longer… or shorter… depending on what you want.😬

I never believed in the concept of an “Alpha male” until now.

I posted today around 7am PST. By nightfall, Marjorie Taylor Greene had resigned. You’re welcome.

It is much easier to understand Marjorie Taylor Greene’s apology if you use professional wrestling terms. I encourage you not to invite the vampire in.

After Trump calling Bloomberg News journalist Catherine Lucey a “piggy”, it seems like a good time to re-up my piece from last week. Aging like a fine wine… unlike Trump.😬

Some of you never paid enough attention to professional wrestling and it shows. A surprising “face turn” always, always, ALWAYS ends back in a return to “heel”. This is of course a post about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

So excited to share my brand new project. I’m back out in the world talking to people. Like United Shades of America but in shorter bursts and with more hope. This one is “WHO’S WITH ME AT THE FOOD BANK?”

Or… and hang with me here… Did The New York Times Ruin Opinions?😬

Only two more stand-up comedy shows left this year! November 22, 3pm in San Francisco at the Punchline as part of Fall of Freedom protest. December 6 in Rochester, NY Get your tickets at wkamaubell.com.

Congrats to @zohrankmamdani! And also, I feel bad for you. That job sucks. For more of my thoughts go here.😬 open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

I wish only the best for Zohran Mamdani and New York City, but I also remember the exact moment when I realized that being the mayor of New York City was a job that totally sucks. It rhymes with the word dillbeldasio.

SAN FRANCISCO! I’m back! At the Punch Line Comedy Club on Saturday, November 22 at the very reasonable time of 3pm in the afternoon. Perfect for people like me who like to go out and get a full night of sleep. Tickets here: www.ticketmaster.com/w-kamau-bell...

The whole title is “The Scariest Thing This Halloween is Donald Trump’s Hatred for Children: At Least Freddy Kreuger, Jason, Pennywise, and Michael Myers Didn’t Take Food Away From Kids” Enjoy.

The shocking part is that this isn’t shocking at all. It’s Trump vs. The World. Tomorrow, mainstream journalists will pretzel themselves—in order to keep their jobs—by saying that this is NBD.🤷🏿‍♂️😬
