Eins Luftballon.

Super Bowl: Powerful but uneven. The act that played between Green Day and Bad Bunny was super boring. I don’t know why they came back for that really long encore.

I want journalists interviewing him to start countering his craziest lies with “Who told you that?” Follow up with “And why did you believe them? You’re a reasonably intelligent guy, didn’t that seem far-fetched?” Simultaneously flatter him and introduce doubt, which will confuse and anger him.

Donald, everyone *hates* you…

Does anyone like Stephen Miller? Like…enough to make him an AI slop t-shirt icon and Katie a panda-eyed shero?

Back when journalism was a more attractive career than working at a renaissance fair, an investigative reporter would have gone undercover as an ICE recruit to expose all the unconstitutional training and budget mismanagement. I miss those days.

Could NATO be convinced to consider regime change as a viable solution?

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

I need someone to read the tea leaves (and spill the necessary tea) to tell me about Stephen Miller’s relationship with JD Vance. Are they tight? Does RiffRaff have incriminating media on Brother Pillbilly? Or will Nosferatu be able to be contained when the transition of power occurs?

Where are car vandalizing Austrian nuns when you need them?

Looks like Eric Nelson just got a new client!

Trump can be impeached or removed. He can claim senility if brought up on war crimes (not saying he would, but he can.) But how can Miller be held accountable for all of this?

Never thought I’d be nostalgic for the rich guy antics of Ted Turner.

What if every news org in the White House Press Corps made sure all their WH correspondents are women?

Anyone else move their champagne to the fridge yet?

SOMEONE is getting a jump on their New Year’s resolutions… www.ms.now/all-in/watch...

Trump is like Billy Mumy in The Twilight Zone, except he charges rent in the cornfield.

I was in NYC a couple weeks ago, and spied these two campaign posters. One beautifully and proudly posted on a storefront, one…where it belongs. Make good choices today, folks.

QUESTION: Whimsically challenged folks tend to deride slactivism movements like Movember as pointless, but do they have more significance in raising money and “awareness” now that the US government has abandoned science and reason? Has watching hair grow become an act of resistance?

Can the constituents of AZ CD7 file a class action suit against Mike Johnson?

It took me literally decades to get the Lenny joke at the end of this clip. youtu.be/dsoEf8Yqe3I?...

Shout out to @annabower.bsky.social for using her RatSec object lesson to promote #livelocalcomedy!

Maybe let’s not all resubscribe to Disney/Hulu until we find out how muzzled Kimmel is when he gets back

If you’re in a Sinclair market, call their local news advertisers and tell them you’re boycotting them.

I guess we finally know what it takes to get Donald Trump to appear at the funeral of a victim of a school shooting.

Y’know that phrase “All politics is local?” The Kimmel thing is trying to silence local journalism. Colbert too. Defunding CPB was aimed at silencing local journalism.

Shh…women are talking. Friday September 19, 9pm Tucson Improv Movement 414 E 9th Tucson AZ

Kind of a weird time to watch The Way We Were for the first time…

Question for my book nerds and #corsetdrama fans… Is there a film, miniseries, or particularly juicy book delving into the Petticoat Affair?

How did I miss the news that Oliver North married Fawn Hall a couple weeks ago????

I just checked Substack to see when one of my annual subscriptions renews. I guess it renews when Fry thaws out.

Give him no more pixels.

Never thought I’d say a prayer for Charlie Kirk. But here goes. Political violence has no place in this country.

Tiny teeth thoughts and giant forehead prayers www.rawstory.com/charlie-kirk...

It’s finally here! Can’t wait to dig into @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s new book, which dropped at midnight!

Anyone think it’s weird we haven’t heard from President Cleveland in weeks? The White House press office says he spent Fourth of July weekend on Commodore Benedict’s yacht, and he allegedly suffered a toothache which was attended to by a dentist who *just happened* to be aboard.

Grampa Wackypants seems really upset that he hasn’t been given awards for excellence in the performing arts and international diplomacy. Somebody needs a lot of validation…

Everybody HATES you, Donald.

And to understand why we can expect more Texans to die in stupid floods, check out this thing I wrote about the now defunct PBS Warn. www.tumblr.com/prettybosssh...

I wrote this a million years ago when I wrote for a public media-centric Tumblr. This breaks down where our money will no longer go. www.tumblr.com/prettybosssh...

Remember that your local Republican congressman is made possible by AIPAC, Charles Koch, …and voters like you.

August Book Club selection—who’s in?

In the wake of the attempted censorship of Amy Sherald by the Smithsonian, I present one of my favorite pieces by MAM, Wondering Woman.
