Happy New Year!

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social Remember doing "Amazing Stories?" This writeup is my first hearing of it. Can you explain, uh, anything about it? treehousedetective.substack.com/p/the-absolu...

It's even more awesome than you'd expect from the title!

BEHOLD! My latest work of comedy genius! The abridged script spoof of The Running Man (1987): The Abridged Script url:https://www.the-editing-room.com/the-running-man-1987.html !

Imagine thinking that opening investigations into your political opponents regarding the Epstein files will distract people from wondering if you’re in them.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Guess it’s true what they say: You either die a war criminal or you live long enough to get a heart transplant, disapprove of the current regime publicly only after it attacks your daughter despite having supported it in 2016, then die a war criminal 13 years later.

October 18 is a day to stand tall against tyranny. No Crowns. No Thrones. #NoKings. Join the movement—find a No Kings Day protest near you and make your voice heard. nokings.org

If Trump’s advisers were smart, they'd point out that his work on Gaza has come in a little late because of how hard it is, and that he's a shoo-in for next year's #NobelPeacePrize. But they're not, so they won't. Also, hopefully he doesn't stop caring about actual peace in Gaza because of this.

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

Hey networks, Donnie isn't going to stop because you fed him, he'll get worse. #JimmyKimmel You don't beat fascism by kowtowing to it and settling for selling out your top talent. You win by fighting them, as Harvard and the NYT are doing. Disney should have listened to one of their own characters:

"You act like a bitch, she'll treat you like a bitch."

My left leg just got 5 stars on the mosquito TripAdvisor.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

I do the colors thing, but with months. Some of them make sense. January is ice blue, February is red, March & December are green, October is orange. Others, not so much. September is a light green, June is a light blue, August is a dark purple.

Holy shit.

me: hulk hogan died mom: who dad: don't you know hulk hogan everyone knows hulk hogan mom: who is hulk hogan dad: he is a comic book character

I liked #HulkHogan a lot more before is heel-turn outside the ring.

Wait, it's so obvious! Trump knows that the tariffs will kill his popularity. And the impact from them will hit us later this month. THAT'S why he bundled everything into one #BigUglyBill. THAT'S why he pushed so hard to get it passed before the Fourth. He won't have any political capital left.

Warren to Bessent: "Why is the national debt so very important that you're trying to kick 16 million off their health insurance, but increasing the national debt doesn't seem to matter if you're cutting taxes for billionaires? ... you don't want to answer the question."

Ludicrous speed is a go on Spaceballs 2! #Spaceballs2

I'm attending. Are you? #NoKings www.mobilize.us/nokings/

Made this one of the greatest meme ever: #NoKings

And if you search around a bit, there's a lot more evidence for this than one person's claim.

"Elmo ain't no scab!"

It's my abridged script for Moana 2! This was a harder one to write, both because it doesn't have half as many flaws as say, Die Hard 2, but also because I had to write parodies of the songs. But my Weird Al fandom paid off and I got it done. Enjoy! www.the-editing-room.com/moana-2.html

It's even better than it sounds. WWII vet runs over a Tesla with a tank to show what he thinks of Musk's fascist beliefs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw4Z...

Dear marketers: No one, and I mean no one, has ever unsubscribed from an email or text list by accident. Especially the ones that take three or four clicks to do so.

Just think: #PopeFrancis dying should have given #PeteHegseth all the news distraction that he needed, but he's screwing up badly that he's getting booted anyway.

Heh, I was gone for long enough that I had switched browsers and phones since my last login and had to verify more than one account by other means.

For those of you with little kids, Pete is going to be sent to a farm upstate where he can run and be free forever. For those of you who follow sports, Pete is thinking about being a free agent next year. For fans of slasher films, he's smoking weed while having unmarried sex. #PeteHegseth

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

I'm back, what'd I miss? About 22 "likes" on a reply, huh? Still more interesting than what Facebook said I missed.

Giving up Bluesky and a few other sites for Lent. Back in 40 days or so. I’m sure all four of you will be devastated.

H&R Block ads: “We can go back and find thousands of dollars in refunds that you missed in the past!” H&R Block in real life: (Eating paint chips) “2+2=22! CAN MATHS!”
