My new book on 2000s Hollywood comedies, Funny Business, will be available on October 6 and is officially up for pre-order right now. In my wholly objective opinion, you and every person in your family should do that. You can order your copy at the link below.

PitchCon starts TOMORROW! Our full schedule for the event, starting at 11 AM ET on Twitch! twitch.tv/pitcherlist

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

Shortly after this day, five years ago, @anthonydelcol.bsky.social, @walthickey.bsky.social, and I produced this comic documenting the events of January 6th. Back then, it was universally understood what happened. Since then, it seems as though half of the US has completely forgotten.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Driving for Christmas and I got a little too excited seeing a @beetlemoses.bsky.social “Big Binky and the Banana Boys” bumper sticker in middle-of-nowhere NW Ohio.

Sometimes I feel like Gavin Newsom is the answer to the question "what would AI be like if it were a human being?"

Annual Sufjan affirmation day

Had a dream where I was telling members of the band CHVRCHES why I enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man, so I guess I enjoyed it on a subliminal level as well.

Happy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Day to all who celebrate!

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.

Saw One Battle After Another last night… 5/5 small beers.

Have this random baseball card in my office featuring Wade Boggs (My mom’s favorite baseball player) + Mike Greenwell. Too young to really remember watching him play, but I’ve always known his name.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is streaming on Disney+. It doesn’t reach the heights of the book by any means, but you can feel the soul of the novel and it’s a solid way to spend 90 minutes.

Couldn’t pass up a clearance Bartman figure. A reminder of the 90s when he was everywhere.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Been awhile, so I’m going to try to watch an episode of The X-Files every day this September/October.

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

It’s time for another round of Sell Some Prints, Pay The Rent! If I sell just 10 prints a day for the next few days I’ll be a very happy, and much relieved, girl. Any more than that and maybe I’ll buy myself a sandwich. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

2018. Scott was alive, we tolerated Elon Musk as a goofball, and we got paid to write ridiculous shit like this. birthmoviesdeath.com/2018/01/29/n...

“But we were sleeping. I've been sleeping. And I've been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face. There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here.”

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Only Chrono Trigger and Simpsons fans can make sense of the mad genius here www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTGD...

Cinema!

A Scooby Doo point-and-click game that's basically 2 episodes of the show. Amazing stuff.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Ten million posts about the state of AI and they’re all just iterations on a Shel Silverstein poem written when the Atari 400 cost half as much as a used car

At least it was AFTER the coffee was gone…

Happy birthday to my exceptional friend, Sarah. open.substack.com/pub/lindseya...

about to drop these screenshots into IG/FB that I normally reserve for sharing kid pictures to see what happens...

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Andor S2E1 Review: Andor still good! Lots of really great moments that catch us up on where everyone is and teases future developments. Really liked how there were several shots in the episode that felt like we the audience were eavesdropping or spying on what was happening.

2024's press release is identical to 2025's... with one big exception.

The Prestige is an Easter movie.

Most exciting screencap in the new Mission: Impossible trailer:

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

I am officially on board with this. Pitch perfect tone/gags.

I had recently been wondering what Joon was up to and this announcement is such welcome news. So excited to see what's coming next!

In just over 30 minutes, a dream @nickpollack.pitcherlist.com had finally comes to fruition. The opportunity to watch baseball games with a community and sit in as the announcer with friends from the industry. That's what we're doing at Playback. Today's all-day event starts at 2:45 EST!

With Opening Day coming up on Thursday, I made a Bluesky feed of MLB Writers. More updates coming, but for right now it's National and Beat writers. bsky.app/profile/did:...
