Someone's back in the comedy newsletter game fromthecomicscomic.com/2025/11/06/l...

Whether it was MeToo in 2017, Obama in 2008, or Reconstruction in 1865; the possibility of social reckoning prompts a backlash to these waves of progress, which somehow always overwhelms us with a tsunami of bad men (and the women who support them)

Billionaires would rather burn their riches than allow any of the money they fleeced from the 99 percent go back to keep the masses alive and well

In April 2020, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social gave his empty pandemic campaign office on Steinway to my friend Macaela as a home for her new Astoria Food Pantry. Five 1/2 years later, the pantry is still a vital source for mutual aid, and Mamdani is going to be Mayor! www.astoriafoodpantry.com

You promise? Good riddance

“Wasssssup?” “My wiiiiiife!” “Six sevvvvven” “That’s what she said”

I’m begging MLB broadcasters to stop trumpeting all-time “postseason” stats when there’s so much more postseason since 1995

Hearing the Blue Jays visas have been revoked

Do you think Donald is watching this? #WorldSeries

With all due respect, MLB broadcasters and press need to stop citing “all-time postseason” leaders since anyone who played before 1994 never enjoyed wild-card or division series to pad their stats. Postseason stats should be limited to World Series only.

Did you want to see a live comedy show in NYC this week or next? fromthecomicscomic.com/live-comedy-...

Rooted for Seattle, but the way George Springer immediately said postgame that he was playing for “this country” says so much about 2025

Well at least 60 Minutes hasn’t succumbed to the CBS slop…watches Jared Kushner pro-Zionist puff piece…welp

We knew the NFL had become too powerful once broadcasts began promoting games on other networks

Today is the day everyone finally learns how to spell diarrhea

U.S. media: This is why this is bad for Biden

Why are all of these SNL sketches with Sabrina referencing Taylor lyrics from the new album? Rhetorical trick question

They could be spending all of this money on housing, food, and medicine; instead they’d rather overwhelm us with weapons and weaponized police and tech that only poisons humanity further. That’s how little the rich care about us, or about anything that doesn’t enrich their portfolios.

No Kings No AI No Genocide No X No Substack No Spotify No Fascists No Compromise

So let me get this shit straight. Y'all are... (checks notes)... pro-fascism and pro-king?

Almost every commercial during this baseball telecast is infuriating to a different degree of disappointment

Weird times at the other other SS, as I’m getting a slew of notifications of new followers — not subscribers but followers— of my zombie Substack. Time to shepherd this flock to a better place.

I’ve known Robby for 20 years. He deserves your support!

If I could go back to October 2013 when we were both wondering why we were at a small comedy festival in Edmonton and tell Tim Meadows how things would turn around for him a dozen years later

An amazing album from an amazing artist. RIP D’Angelo music.apple.com/us/album/bla...

New @lastweektonight.com on Bari Weiss, David Ellison, and billionaire opinion usurping journalistic judgment www.thedailybeast.com/john-oliver-...

Feels like SNL is writing all of this season’s sketches in reverse. OK, we’ve got the KPop Demon Hunters singers, how do we shoehorn them in? Tina Fey says she can play Kristi Noem? Perfect! Our cold open will now write itself!?

As a former Seattle resident during the glory years who covered the team’s 2000 playoff run for the paper in Kitsap, I’m delighted for them right now

If you're not anti-fascist, then you're pro-fascist

But Alex Garland told us Texas was going to be on the good side of Civil War

Forgive me, but is this supposed to be a good look for ARod's makeup line?

We wanted meritocracy. We got morontocracy.

So Ezra’s just gonna keep talking through it

That Vladdy soaring dive at the plate should be hung as a poster by morning

How much of our disinformation disaster might be blamed on people still relying on media brands that have become zombies through enshittification, takeovers, and AI

Lots of people girl bossing too close to the sun. Many such cases.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Please don’t share deepfake “AI” videos. Even as a joke. Not cute.

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss" is the exact same deal as "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth"

How are all of these comedians so badly fumbling the bag they so badly grabbed to perform for Saudi royals?

David Cross folks.

New: My chat with Australian comedian Lou Wall, who has made a mockery out of our terminal online behaviors, and is running their diabolical one-person show this week at @sohoplayhousenyc.bsky.social fromthecomicscomic.com/2025/09/29/l...

When does Better Than Ezra get the big listening bump out of all of this punditry malarkey

New: @lastweektonight.com's main story reminds us all about Benjamin Netanyahu's career path and his extremist government. But first, this zinging segment about Trump's pick to go after Comey... www.thedailybeast.com/john-oliver-...
