I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Good news! I’ve sold 51 tickets. Which is closer to selling 0 tickets than it is to being sold out. November 18th. My comedy special taping. New York City. 7pm. The Cutting Room. Tickets VERY MUCH available.

“defund the police was a bad slogan”

This is my neighborhood. Our son’s best friend lives just up the hill. I delivered the mail on this route. Thousands live within yards of that gas.

ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER (2025) Also 😭 bye American Cement Building

This was such a great interview and it was so cool to hear Brendan's story along with Marc's.

I talked with my old pal @marcmaron.bsky.social and his producer and (non-romantic) partner Brendan about the end of WTF for @bullseye.maximumfun.org . Because actually? WTF is a friendship story. youtu.be/RDoUqyNLy2g?...

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

😭

We're having a moving sale! We're selling physical items like vintage MFD gifts but we're also selling weird stuff like compliments. If you'd like an overly specific compliment from a MaxFun staff member go to maximumfun.org/movingday and get one for $10. Thanks to Imogen, who bought the first one!

Big surprise: MaxFunHQ is moving! Not so surprising: moving is expensive! If you want to help us out, we're selling vintage MaxFunDrive gifts and merch, as well as naming rights to just about everything in the new office. These are going fast--we're already out of toilets--so act now if you want in!

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Small gig: I'm looking for someone to help me locally archive my mom's Typepad blogs before they're taken down. She is moving the content to Wordpress but I want to save the current HTML structure / images / etc. I tried wget but it's beyond me. Can pay for time spent. DM me if you're interested!

number one comfort food?

I want everyone to take a step back for a second, remember why she was fired from New York and juxtapose this w/ all the high profile media folks that have recently lost *their* jobs. *Some* people are allowed to fail upwards. It's mesmerizing.

That TOMMY BOY line "I make car parts for the American working man because that's who I am and that's who I care about." But instead, "we make podcasts for human beings who like listening to other human beings. Because that's who we are and that's who we care about."

Johnny H. has spoken

Let me add that it’s pretty revolting that THR, an outlet that employs real writers, obediently labels this “a stable of AI talent.” This is a lie. This is not what talent means.

Can we please call them slopcasts

My sister sent me this

Hi, anti-depressant user. It's preventing. Hope this helps.

I hate this but also? Here's an idea. Let's ban everyone from owning guns.

give me a bag of these and you don't even have to worry about the money

This is niche for anyone who, like me, never stopped thinking about lockdown-era a specific Stay F Homekins podcast episode. But… YOU MIGHT BE PAZUZU! weekendwater.substack.com/p/you-might-...

No one is doing it like the onion

My favorite Bluesky moment…

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

Hi. Hey. Mike here. When media companies cancel Late Night shows to appease fascist presidents, America fucking ends.

Stephen Miller: Notably booed by his classmates during a racism-fueled speech. Known by his school board as the kid trying to end bilingual education. Always a bootlicking bigot, out of touch with this city. Yes, LA is imperfect. But I love this city, I love my neighbors, and I am scared for us all.

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview

i want a covid booster tbh

I will say, most of my friends that work for NPR are woke banana slugs.

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

that game made me so mad

Made a short video about why the phrase “Wherever you get Podcasts” is so rare and great these days, and why podcasts are the Horseshoe Crab of the internet 🐴👟🦀 youtube.com/shorts/VM4wu...

P.S. Nutsy says trans rights

Don’t do it for me. Do it for Shelly in accounting. Her cubicle is right next to the kitchenette, and she is way too nice to say anything.

Most of the money MaxFun members contribute to shows goes directly to the creators. What do they do with it? We’re too polite (or in some cases afraid) to ask. But we don’t mind telling you what we do with our share. Part of it goes to basic business costs: payroll, rent, equipment, all that. 🧵⬇️

if you like number go up, this is your moment maximumfun.org/join

It's the #maxfundrive & spring is sprang. We hear from listeners all the time that our show offers light when the world is dark and cold. If you feel the same, will you join Maximum Fun? If you joined Maximum Fun for the first time, tell us why! maximumfun.org/join
