Perfect.

I need a 10-hour movie of this to watch for the next three years.

This, this, this. As they say.

When one Nuttycombe rises, we all rise!

Can’t wait for the book.

Terrific

In razzing Nuzzi with his nuzzling buzz, Lizza wouldn’t be muzzled. It’s puzzling that their sizzle fizzled but Nizzi was dazzled by the old buzzard. She found him snazzy, said huzzah, all that jazz. Lizza felt scuzzy, ate pizza on the mezzanine.

Film of the year!

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

sherman, for the love of god!

Mr. @bcdreyer.social Any thoughts about the use of quotation marks and exclamation points in the liner notes to this 1959 British LP, “The Best of the Goon Show”? (Yes, I’m that person.) Thanks.

Tonight I can get away with asking folks the one question I’m forced to keep to myself the other 364 days of the year: “And who are YOU supposed to be?”

🔥 COACH SULLY: “Let’s see what $4.3 TRILLION looks like when each party gets their hands on it… the oligarchs are laughing all the way to the bank (with Republicans)…”

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

So the past is quite modern, too.

TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT: PLEASE HELP: 1) CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN STILL EXISTS. 2) CHECK YOUR PART D RX PLAN AND COMPARE OTHER PLANS (TRUMP ADMIN. TOOK AWAY BIDEN SUBSIDIES FOR 2026) 3) REPOST THIS SO OTHERS CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. medicare.gov

So grateful to @theatlantic.com for excerpting Paper Girl so beautifully yesterday.

I think this from @donmoyn.bsky.social is essential reading for the moment. I’d emphasize that the staggering process he describes doesn’t end with the assault on immigrants. It’s about creating an armed force loyal to nobody but Trump. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

So well put…

A THREAD. If you are curious about what goes on in my show Varietopia it’s things like these. Tickets available at bit.ly/varietix

An American Werewolf In King Arthur’s Court

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

Just got back from the Riyadh Comedy Festival and boy are my arms chopped off.

Please do me a favor… if you’re a fan of my father’s & hate people using AI to imitate an artist after his death, please 👎🏻 & report this asshole to Google. youtube.com/@georgecarli... It’s whack a mole for us. This is a nightmare.

Here you go, From my friend @billbindc.bsky.social

Another very good column by @sulliview.bsky.social margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/legacy-med...

Breaking character: Ken White has a fantastic post about how "free speech culture" undermines free speech. It's something I've thought about a lot before, but Ken knows way more about it than I do and explains it really well. www.popehat.com/p/how-free-s...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

So @jimmykimmel.com just goes to Youtube. Or a streamer. (Until those fall.)

In his new piece--which is largely about the reaction to his last piece--Ezra Klein says that he is deeply shaken by Charlie Kirk's murder essentially because they were in the same business: They both did public politics. This is honest on his part. It's also the problem. >

All right, I wrote about it:

Looking forward to the dawning of a new age…

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison. But... /1

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

The truth is most people don’t give a shit about the rule of law, or due process, or laws of war, or freedom of unpopular speech or unpopular religion. Just about every modern civilizational advancement out of barbarism gets only occasional lip service and is unpopular in particular instances. /1

Thousands march to the White House united in our demand. We want federal forces out of DC Now!! Free DC! Free DC! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.

A teenager and an eccentric old man must travel very fast in order to stop bad guys from using a doomsday weapon and in the process the teenager learns the true story of who his parents really were. Some light incest ensues. STAR WARS or BACK TO THE FUTURE?

The press needs to stop asking Trump questions. As a dedicated bullshit artist, con man, and seriously ignorant person, his answers are always useless. The sane-washing and outraged reaction only work in his favor. Media need to focus on the results of his policies.

Says it all.
