It’s not that he’s just milquetoast comedy that appeals to basic bitch libs, which is kind of true It’s that he knows how to deliver it, because he spends time with people offline

Kimmel is CRINGE says the anonymous online comedian with 30k followers with zero charisma

Cringe, for lack of a better word, is good. Cringe WORKS.

See, but here’s the thing: Cringe is good

I miss physical comedy

Oh god. I am exactly her age, and was exactly her type of awkward at 13. She became brilliant and I think she is very beautiful. I managed a grad degree and well, I don’t think I’m ugly What people and THE MEDIA used to say about a 13 yo Chelsea Clinton in 1993, my god. And I was 13

I love that all three of these men are known for treating their staff well and, in Meyers’ case, for example, elevating their writing staff, even giving them a chance to to stand-up on the show and I know for a fact it’s mostly not white guys writing for him. He’s very deliberate about that

Kimmel and Meyers and Colbert have zero desire, along with it being crass and cheap Those are pretty decent men, overall It is GALLING to me it is all white men on late night consistently, but we managed to filter out the bad ones

“I’m gonna get out there and piss off every single autistic person and the people who love them, women, women with children, and the lawyers for Kenvue/Johnson & Johnson”

Her becoming a joke and a villain for being propositioned by a clearly lecherous dude and ended up alright eventually is very much an interesting story.

Especially because the information environment was so much smaller. There weren't as many competing things to draw you away. Like you said late night but also comedy, news, it was a full-on hate campaign that really hasn't happened since.

You all need to know how much things have changed Things are soooo hard now, right, and alot of it is them being mad they can’t do what they did to Monica Lewinsky anymore.

Strong will and a stronger sense of humor about the situation really helps.

Truly cannot emphasize enough how utterly terrible it was for her 27 years ago Imagine revenge porn, but blasted by Letterman and Leno every night. And she’s at fault, not Clinton. Oh also she’s “fat”

There is no reason for Monica Lewinsky to be as well-adjusted as she is and I need to probe her brain

I don’t understand jean styles in 2025 so I will just not engage

I envision his brain as completely smooth, like a water balloon. He's gone. Just out to lunch permanently

I’m sorry this is so funny

tylenol also made me a girl, so go ahead and write that down.

OH COME ON

“I’m gonna get out there and piss off every single autistic person and the people who love them, women, women with children, and the lawyers for Kenvue/Johnson & Johnson”

I’m sorry moms, this must be so stupid and enraging for you all

some people want to believe clinicians. some people want to believe women. we could meet in the middle and believe women clinicians.

if they ban autism we'll just do an autistic general strike and every train in America will hurtle directly into the sea within three hours. you people can't stop this from happening. they will beg us to come back and resume doing our various autisms

Before the president spouts off his bullshit about acetaminophen (paracetamol) and autism, there are autistic people in my life whom I love desperately *because* not *despite* their autism.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

I think I have an idea, yes

In 2015 I bought my partner a t-shirt by Muncipal Waste (a metal band I think?) with a picture of Trump and Wait I can’t say what is happening on that tshirt

Patriot

I can’t believe how totally patronizing and cruel this is not only to people with autism, but to moms who already have so little “approved” access to pain relief

eh probably not wrong but it feels so good

KelKel from Illz

No we are in a legal separation we want to see if we can work out we didn’t forget the things they did

Target still out there like I don’t care if we go under! Never surrender!!! Until we go under!!! Probably next year!!!

One thing that is hard to quantify but I think matters a lot: the anti-Trump coalition has a ton of cultural capital and has been effective in using it at points (it also makes MAGA jealous). I think one effective pro-democracy move is for the professional class to pressure corporations.

If you bully the bullies back it works most times

Just realized how angry Trump is going to be this rules lmao

President Pritzker given full license to implement the RAWR policy (Retire All Wrongthinking Republicans)

The thing is, it feels like the damage is done here already. I don't feel the need to turn Disney+ back on, do you?

It sounded like Kimmel was driving a pretty hard bargain on coming back on the air—Disney was begging him, not the other way around—so let's hope this is interesting variety.com/2025/tv/news...

If Kimmel's first monologue back doesn't start with, "So, anyway, as I was saying..." we riot.

"Thoughtful conversation" here equals "Execs staring at cancellation rates and crying on speaker", hopefully

lmao this statement is the biggest crock of shit though. “We just want you to know it was his fault he did it anyway he’s back on Tuesday”

👀👀👀👀👀

Enten is such a dweeby goober

My favorite part is how Shaun King has had a job in every religion

I have had my first corporate landlord I’ve decided is literally too dumb to read an email. I’ve had to resend everything multiple times. I am utterly confused, they keep snapping on me about docs I’ve already sent

It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

lol I used to wait on that guy at The Lucky Platter in Evanston
