ever since i was a child i knew i just needed five more minutes

I wrote about the possibility that we live in hell and what it means to "choose happiness" johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/just-be-ha...

what a glorious time capsule of this broken moment we are in

People (and red pandas!) always are curious about the food astronauts eat, so NASA put out this handy graphic:

You do not get credit for all the times you drive sober.

This is the question I wake up with and go to bed with every day and the rest of my real life is just a deserpate and failing attempt to avoid the question, since I have no answer for it. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Santa Claus: Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night! …but you know how to get a good nights sleep? Helix Sleep: use code SANTA15 to receive 15% off of a premium Midnight Luxe mattress, now back to the podcast! So there are 2 sex scenes in the first 15 minutes- Jason Manzoukas: it’s…nutso

Funny how I actively chose to hibernate for the past few weeks but I can still experience loads of FOMO.

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

I’m a big fan of Too Much partly because I like the question of what do you have to do to your classic British romances to make them more Jewish.

Oh.

I'M CRYING LMFAOOOOOO THIS IS HIS ONLY POST ON HERE the LAYERSSSSSSSSSSSS

Eddington is the first movie I’ve been really excited for in maybe a year or more

By cutting off patients and forcing people into an unregulated, poisoned street supply, we’re fueling preventable deaths and punishing the most vulnerable. We need to start listening, caring, and demanding change. reason.com/2025/07/01/t...

happy pride everyone

At long last, my new standup special Positive Reinforcement is coming out on 6/27 on Blonde Medicine's YouTube page! I'm so excited for everyone to get to see these jokes! Click "Remind Me" for a notification when it's live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvN...

I find myself regularly getting into conversations about empathy on here, and folks, you will never change my mind. I’m not saying let people get away with anything with no repercussions, having boundaries and consequences for anti-social behavior is actually the most empathetic thing you can do

Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy you now have an excuse to fully lose your mind 💕

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP. "I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

Trying to explain to liberals why dividing the working class into smaller and smaller groups is unhelpful

I mentioned this in a reply but Bill Maher has been doing comedy professionally for several decades, he has had 20 stand up specials: can anyone remember a single Bill Maher joke?

....hmmm, still no new pope

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I would love a Maintenance Phase episode about the recent swath of medical research claiming weed may be the cause of just about every disease. From the very limited research I’ve done, it feels a bit moral panic-y to me, but I’m very open to being proven wrong

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

this is still my favorite video the onion/clickhole have ever made

Hamilton's newsletter is always so good, but this edition really hits the spot for people who want more justice in the world and feel powerless to help bring it about!! Here's one place to start!

I woke Papi up from his long nap to answer a letter from a concerned reader who says they feel scared and small in the wake of everything these days johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/what-am-i-...

I wish my job was to interview my friends about their special interests and also all my favorite things about them

Don’t quote me on this

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Sometimes I like posts before I read them and that’s my bad honestly I just want to love everyone

Shit sucks and is awful and I’m not about to tell anyone not to despair but I am feeling a weird sense of hope, simply for the fact that we all know the world is broken and now we can maybe put it back together in a better way for all people

apparently i still have the capacity to be pleasantly surprised, who knew?

Dems look like they're bidding on fascism at a silent auction

guy in the 1920s putting a "i bought this before he went crazy" sticker on his Model T

touching grass is no longer enough, I need to see the wealthiest man in the world's empire of fraud reduced to ruin

Cis isn't a slur, unless you get your tone right.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

A lot of Disabled people don't have the privilege of not caring if others like them It can be vital to your survival that you are seen as likeable I've had ppl I depend on threaten to pull services when I didn't respond to deeply invasive questions abt my life in a happy way

broke - Kamala Harris: “i will follow the law when it comes to transgender individuals” woke - Stephen Smith:

not to downplay the ugliness of this but this is the equivalent of busywork. they are giving him executive orders to sign so that it feels like he’s doing something.

It feels like Democrats and Republicans are playing a massive game of tug-of-war, but the Democrats are doing it with their hands tied behind their back

I do this fun thing where I have a high opinion of myself, but absolutely no confidence in my own opinions
