“I’ve never heard of GWAR before today but you can’t disrespect the president like that” is just a great way to kick off a deeply pathetic week.

Oof, what a morning.

I’m grateful today for a good night of rain, grateful that I can call into a meeting from a subway station when I need to, and grateful for a full slate of opportunities to be of service to others this week. #3Gratitudes

Do we know anyone who’s good at coining that kind of phrase?

Today was the International Day of Peace. www.un.org/en/observanc...

YouTube thought I might like to watch an AI slop video about ten horrible people that fooled the world. Number five is celebrated children’s author Rolf Doll.

Technologically advance a band: The Heavily Militarized Police

The first verse of “Loose Fit” by Happy Mondays is all about how loose clothing is good. But then, to drive home the point, the second verse is all about how tight clothing is bad.

alien is about what happens to men when they listen to a computer instead of a woman (they die)

Move over, meme where that guy shoves a stick in his own bicycle wheel. There’s a new kid in town.

Career milestone: Our performance tonight at the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta will be my 2,000th live show!

In a way, you’ve got to hand it to Ivanka Trump. She’s done a pretty great job this year of basically ceasing to exist in public. Whatever the opposite of a publicist is, she’s clearly hired a great one.

I’m grateful today for a quick morning run, grateful for a day out with my wife and kids, and grateful for the Don River. #3Gratitudes

No trip to the mall with your kids is complete without an extraordinarily thorough visit to Claire’s.

The list of people who have compromised themselves in an effort to suck up to Trump is long and pathetic, but I think the funniest example is still the guy from the Village People who put out a statement denying that “Y.M.C.A.” had anything to do with being gay.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

This, re: Charlie Kirk, plus the fact that Trump simply cannot grasp why a person might say something nice about someone who can’t offer you anything in return anymore because they’re dead.

The recent cancelation of visas for Bob Vylan, and the related Glastonbury furor over Kneecap, got me listening to both of them. Both go insanely hard and I'm sad that I can't see Kneecap now.

Except for “What was it like to be in the Garbage Pail Kids?”

I think it’s finally time to retire “They could never get away with making a movie/show like that today.” This is an unapologetically hateful and bigoted time. People are gleefully celebrating the worst in themselves. And the huge companies that make our movies and shows are fully on board with it.

Leaving work at the end of the week with a well-earned feeling of “What the hell was all that about?”

Today’s reminder that phrasing and punctuation are important is the disillusioned Canadian who posted “Elbows up my ass.”

Eisner was the CEO of the Walt Disney Company from 1984 to 2005. You may remember him as the host of “The Wonderful World of Disney.”

The tailors admire the cat’s new cape, which says “meat.”

“Me is Murder?!”

Vince Gasparro is a Toronto MP and the parliamentary secretary to the secretary of state for combatting crime.

Avi Lewis for NDP leader? Yeah, I’d like to learn more about that. That could be great.

Hey Canada, ready to get serious about fighting fascism? Then let's go!! So proud of Avi. See you out there...

I have accepted that I have haters, including people annoyed by the water drinking reminders, and I don't have the time or energy to care about them anymore.

Because there’s no better way to say “These are terrible laws and there’s no other way I could ever hope to pass them without ending up waist deep in chatter challenges” than with the notwithstanding clause.

I’m grateful today for remote work, grateful that I was able to get out and run some long-delayed errands, and grateful for dinner with my kids. #3Gratitudes

Sure, but the problem with boycotting any Marvel property is that you have to have already boycotted like eight or nine other Marvel properties in order to fully appreciate it.

Technically, the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” It’s a fun bit of antiquated language from a simpler time, when laws were made by Congress.

The Bill of Rights isn’t a long document, but even if it were, the part that says “They are allowed to do that” is right at the top.

When Pete Hoekstra complains about Canadians being mean and disrespectful to Americans, I think it’s important to bear in mind that his direct experience is probably less a reflection of how we feel about Americans in general, and more a reflection of how we feel about Pete Hoekstra specifically.

I would argue that Canadians in general are actually more “passionate about the American-Canadian relationship” than they’ve been before in my lifetime - just not in the way the ambassador might have hoped when he took what he thought was going to be an easy job.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Donald Trump asks the United States Supreme Court to make it legal for him to fire an accomplished Black woman he doesn’t like. apnews.com/article/supr...

I definitely think that the main reason Trump is so desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize is because they gave one to a far more popular Black guy.

Trump is a man of a great many faults, but it pays to remember that one of the faults we don’t acknowledge often enough is the fact that he’s a pathetic, insecure wimp.

Heavily identifying with the guy who just drove by gunning drum and bass with the windows down on his minivan.

I’m never happier than when I have a lot of ways to be useful that I’m able to tackle with ease, and for better or worse, it’s been a great couple of days for that sort of thing.

I finally had to bid farewell to my classic red and white health card today. I’ve had it so long that the address I had on file was the house in Scarborough where I grew up.

The cat’s girlfriend is mad that the cat has blown a bubble so large that he’s floating away. The gum store owner, no doubt benefiting from his years of wisdom, has a more philosophical perspective.

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

Disney caving under authoritarian pressure at the earliest opportunity really brings an urgent new meaning to the phrase “Mickey Mouse Bullshit.”

Here’s what Jimmy Kimmel said that prompted the threats made by the FCC chair: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

I’m grateful today to have a lot of support at work, grateful that I was able to do a very busy day remotely, and grateful for a beautiful September evening at the end of it. #3Gratitudes
