I firmly believe that if you helm a project that will cut some jobs by more than 40% so you can make your schlock entertainment, you should be stripped of your union membership and blacklisted from the industry

A tip for folks in relationships: If you’re going to be out of town from your partner when holidays or significant dates happen, plan ahead. I got my wife 2 Mother’s Day cards (dogs) and an anniversary card & hid them in our apartment for her to find on the day. It goes over well & shows you care.

in case you missed it I recently wrote about how incredibly full of shit Matt Stoller is

If you're a New Yorker who agrees, please feel free to send @mayor.nyc.gov a note. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Dear @mayor.nyc.gov, please get a NYC Alt Side Parking account on Bluesky. Right now, the only social media account for that info is on X. Please do not endanger New Yorkers or make them support a right wing billionaire by forcing them to visit that hate site.

This is the vast imbalance in our media ecosystem: Democrats are held accountable for what they *might* do based on the words of their fringe voters and policies they are considering but never happen. Republicans aren’t even accountable for what they *are* doing.

Donald Trump to a reporter: You're a bitch who is stupid NYT: Trump in testy exchange with female reporter Donald Trump: Americans are stupid and deserve to be poor, so I will take their money NYT: Trump proposes bold new redistribution scheme for middle class americans

Jane Schoenbrun's latest fulfills the promise of "A Portrait of a Lady on Fire set in a Friday the 13th sequel," which means it rules. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teen...

Throw all NBA refs into a volcano

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

Syndergaard is such a perfect avatar for the MAHA movement – a guy who probably cost himself several hundred million dollars via his persistent belief in quack medicine, most famously the time he refused an MRI while playing with a partially torn muscle then pitched again and fully tore it

Always true

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.

LET CHARLES BARKLEY HELP MARSHALL A PRIDE PARADE PLEEEEEEEEASE

Yeah he’s right! Of course there are gay players in the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. It’s simple fucking math!!

33 years ago today, Krusty the Clown was forced to replace Itchy & Scratchy with Worker & Parasite. “Krusty Gets Kancelled” first aired on May 13, 1993.

Since it has finally premiered, I guess I can legally say that Jane Schoenbrun’s TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA is fucking amazing and I cannot wait to see it many more times.

Favorite Stevie Wonder story, from Rodney Crowell. Happy birthday Stevie!

Great recruiting fodder for anyone going against James Franklin & Virginia Tech for a QB!

Obviously what Bari Weiss is doing is disastrous for journalism but it has been very funny learning what a barely-functional himbo Tony Gokupil is through her attempts to My Fair Lady him

I was just going over some of the celebrity quotes I wrote for Clickhole a decade ago. Here’s a few favorites

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

A weird thing happened during the indie romance boom in the mid-2010s: a bunch of women who did not have high earning potential on paper could abruptly start making $20k-100k a month self-pubbing romance. We watched so many marriages implode over it, y'all, when their husbands COULD NOT COPE.

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

If Democrats don't make Republicans—both elected Republicans & their corrupt partisan judges—PAY for their crimes against democracy, the Republicans will keep upping the ante until there's no democracy left. @brianbeutler.bsky.social: www.offmessage.net/p/the-failed...

“The audience comes last… I’m making it for me.” This is the way.

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

I'm not gonna name names because I want everyone to have a business that keeps people paid but if you claim you're from Philly and highlight your "authenticity" on the menu but your default cheesesteak has green peppers on it and whiz is extra then you're lying your ass off

Say it louder for the people in the back, SEX WORK IS WORK. #XBIZMiami @decrim305.bsky.social

fuck these bitch ass kids and their bitch ass parents ❤️

Donald Gibb dines in Valhalla on the strength of BLOODSPORT alone, let alone Ogre

Lmaooooooooo

This is a good thing that's happening. But it should come with footnotes, including: 1) the pressure exerted by the Dodgers on Burke to hide his sexuality; 2) Lasorda's public denials of his gay son; 3) the team rescinding its invitation to the Sisters; 4) Kershaw's continued acts of homophobia.

This dog is named Atlas and everyone at this bar knows him.

What else is new

Hey Mr Mayor and Mrs AG can you please do something about the hospitals ending trans healthcare by capitulating to non binding fascist decree please thanks :) fucking do something like we absolutely know you can and haven’t been please thanks :)

A rare instance of TV understanding not to fix something that isn't broke.

This is every corporate meeting about diversity I attended in the 1990s.

Ironically, her main advice to the city as Heat officer was don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Also in Jan., Hernández tells an unknown interlocutor: “The Israeli prime minister is going to back us...they had everything to do with my release and the negotiation.” In a March clip Hernández references "pardon money...from a council of rabbis...who back Israel" But before you go anti-Semitic...

Audio clips allegedly show Juan Orlando Hernández detailing a plot in which Trump pardoned him so he'd lead a propaganda op returning him to power in Honduras & undermining leftist leaders in Mexico & Colombia I wrote it up here washingtonmonthly.com/2026/05/12/h... But let me walk you through it

“This is your pal Stan…Stan Chera!”

@sasscarpone.bsky.social I owed you a pic from last Thursday after having my account [REDACTED], so here you go…

I guess I gotta listen to Noah…
