“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” -Mark Twain

Whoever wins this amazing game, hats off to Cabo Verde!

“Almost Independence Day”, Van Morrison. Never gets old. Happy 4th of July Weekend, everyone. youtube.com/watch?v=dUEc...

Just remembered this beautiful Mary Oliver poem, “The Summer Day”, and thought I’d pass it along.

Andrew Weinberg on “Late Night with Conan” years ago as Shoeverine, a rejected X-Men character with shoes for hands. One of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever been really proud of.

Can’t wait to take my mask off. It’s so damn hot up here.

This is Penny. She came up with her own trick. Really hopes you like it, and will repeat it as many times as necessary until you acknowledge that you do. 14/10 (IG: pennycorgipoo)

R.E.M., “World Leader Pretend”, live and acoustic in ‘91. Just the best, thats all. youtube.com/watch?v=nYvT...

Watching the chess hustlers in Washington Square Park and their trash talk would make most NBA players blush.

Waxahatchee’s incredible cover of This Is Lorelei’s “Where’s Your Love Now” live on KEXP. I needed this today. youtube.com/watch?v=8KIB...

Still one of my all-time favorite Onion headlines.

You know you’re a lifelong comedy nerd when you hear “Stayin’ Alive” in an NYC diner and think of “Airplane” before“Saturday Night Fever”.

So this war with Iran will end and re-start, end and re-start, end and re-start as long as Trump and his fellow shameless, infinitely corrupt cronies can profit from it in drone contracts and the stock market? Got it.

Best comedy of the year

This is Reggie. He wanted to show you how he eats watermelon. 14/10 thank you Reggie (IG: reggiethebully5)

"Trump said, 'You know why I [attack the press]? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' Trump said that," Stahl told the audience, adding, "So, put that in your head for a minute." www.cbsnews.com/news/lesley-...

“I still love America. I just don’t know how to get there anymore.” -John Prine discussing his song “The Great Compromise”.

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

The world seems significantly less awful while you’re petting a horse.

Very sorry to hear this. CHEERS is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, and James Burrows was the best director the sitcom form ever saw. R.I.P., sir. Thank you for all the great entertainment.

👏👏👏❤️

This is Beau. He's got a date tonight. Put on his best and only bowtie. Needs you to straighten it for him, if you don't mind. 12/10 (IG: usandourgoldens)

This is Bagel. He has traveled far and wide, experienced many different cultures, seen all kinds of sights, and most importantly, figured out his best angles. 13/10 (IG: livingwithbagel)

Dylan, on life in your 80’s, is incredible. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o...

Thanks to the kind soul who uploaded this compilation of our inexcusable old “Artie Kendall the Ghost Crooner” sketches from “Late Night with Conan”. My apologies again to everyone. #FlashbackFriday youtube.com/watch?v=zetA...

'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' may be over, but in a promising sign for its final award season chances, the Television Critics Association has just nominated Colbert's cancelled CBS series for its most prestigious honor.

Never miss a Patton Oswalt special. Always hilarious. I still remember laughing so hard at home while watching “No Reason To Complain”, that I woke my baby daughter. She’s 24 now and she gets it! 👏👏👏 @pattonoswalt.bsky.social youtu.be/sRFgLNxygC4?...

Congratulations to all my Knick fan friends and neighbors who somehow lived through that amazing 29-point comeback and special shout-out to hero and forever IU Hoosier, OG Anunoby.

I love that they actually thought, “There’s no way this crowd will boo Trump if we cut to him DURING the National Anthem.”

And every sensible person on Earth knows that any deal Trump could possibly get at this point would be much worse than the deal he tore up. What an infinitely corrupt and incompetent clown show.

I’d forgotten how good and scary young Pierce Brosnan is as an IRA hitman in the British crime classic “The Long Good Friday”.

On D-Day, 82 years ago, thousands of brave servicemembers stormed Normandy's beaches with one shared goal: defeat fascism, uphold democracy. Today, we honor those who fought for freedom.

This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10 (TT: rhiannoninthe904)

When you optimistically check the Cubs score and see they lost 18-3.

U2, “Gloria”, live at Red Rocks in ‘83. Never gets old. #FlashbackFriday youtube.com/watch?v=vBOD...

John Prine, “Sam Stone”, live on TV in the early ‘70s. (“Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios…”) #FlashbackFriday youtube.com/watch?v=OLVW...

Even on the worst days, it helps to remember that on “Hey Ladies” the Beastie Boys rhymed “tomfoolery” with “Chuck Woolery”.

Some of my worst fake punching ever. Thanks to Jack McBrayer for trying to make it look at least somewhat realistic.

This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10 (IG: cooperandbaby_corgi)

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Like PBS’ “Frontline”, “60 Minutes” has always represented the finest investigative journalism on TV, but it’s quite clear now, as the heroic Scott Pelley warned before being fired, it’s being destroyed by the people who were installed to destroy it.

Scott Pelley is a true hero for speaking truth to power and he will be remembered and respected long after the craven bootlickers who fired him are gone.

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” ——- Sinclair Lewis

Some fun old bloopers from Late Night with Conan O’Brien” including me as clumsy God. youtube.com/watch?v=JpQW...

“For Everyman”, Jackson Browne. I’ve always loved this song but these days it hits home more and more for me. youtube.com/watch?v=aQK5...

👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆❤️❤️❤️

BREAKING: ‘60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley confronted new EP Nick Bilton during an intro meeting with staff — grilling him about recent firings and Bari Weiss. "She's murdering '60 Minutes.'" "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that."

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)
