If you haven't seen "The People's Joker", good news. It'll be streaming for free. This is a very good thing, and we all need a good thing about now.

The tree did not fall on the powerline today. Do you see how my life here strangely mirrors the national situation. I wonder if the tree will fall on the powerline tomorrow.

Now that the Marx Brothers have entered the public domain. Please enjoy my new film. The Four Marx Brothers Go Behind the Green Door. In the spirit of Gilbert I will say Chico needed the money.

I'm reading more comics! Are you??? www.patreon.com/posts/paper-...

I'm not gonna watch a video that a murderer recorded on his phone to find out if his victim deserved it.

For the 250th anniversary of the USA let’s remember that taxation without representation thing. At this point only the billionaires should be paying taxes. Because they’re the only ones being represented.

Yes

Everything Vance has said since the murder of Renee Nicole Good has made me want to smash my elbow into his face more than ever.

The only reason Democrats are trying to shame voters. Which is a terrible tactic which does not work. Is because their politicians are not satisfying the voters. If they satisfied the voters. They wouldn’t have to shame anybody. Now would they? Remove your leadership.

Goes with this.

Cherien Dabis’s film All That’s Left of You follows one Palestinian family from the Nakba to 2022. More than the story of a single family, it’s the story of a common humanity persisting through the nightmare of displacement and occupation.

I've found in general (and anecdotally heard this from others) that if you talk to actual artists about a creative work you're doing, they'll give you any permissions you need for free and try to get involved themselves if it sounds fun. If you go through "proper channels" you get nowhere.

Sorry to break it to some of you. A party that funded and cheerled a genocide. Gassed students. Can’t run an election claiming to be the lesser evil. You are no longer able to claim to be the lesser evil. You need to remove your leadership. If you want to use that golden oldie. Only song you know

What he said

The ad deal ran out at the end of the year, there's no real change/decision made. Spotify also hasn't said that it wouldn't take the ads again. This is giving credit for doing nothing. Source: www.avclub.com/spotify-wont...

Not quote-dunking, going on a tangent. I think the big difference is that pre-dot-com-boom, people got into computers because they were autistic misfits who loved computers. After that, people got into computers because they loved money. Took a generation for the culture to partly change.

People who have followed me for a long time now know I don’t even like making political posts. I live under fascism. I don’t know what you’re living under. But I live under fascism. And there is no opposition. And that pisses me off.

So far Democrats have called me. Not a citizen. A Russian agent. A Russian asset. Etc etc. Folks. This is the way they are talking to the people they need to convince to vote for them. Because they think this crap works. This is what I am complaining about. It’s real dumb that they do this.

I can't join ICE because I can add fractions.

Had to block somebody defending the Democratic leadership. Because he called me “not a citizen.“ Gosh. What Trump led political party does that sound like. That sound bite. Terrific election messaging you got there.

Ever notice the constant refrain of “poor people are lazy“ is exactly what they said about Black people. Exactly.

Glad there wasn’t an internet in 1963 so l don’t have to go back and read Republicans’ comments about, “If you ride around town in a convertible you have to expect to get shot in the head.”

Deathtrap is so good—I can't recommend it enough. I'm not sure if it's ever been put out on a non-pan&scan DVD, but even if that's the case, it's still worth it. See it however you can. It's SO good.

#OtD 9 Jan 1973 in Durban, South Africa, workers at the Coronation Brick & Tile factory went on strike. Roughly 100,000 mainly Black African workers were striking, and succeeded in doubling wages and worked towards racially mixed trade unions stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1090...

“As a proud conservative Christian and the mother of three Bibles, a freedom-loving police car who’s married to a gun, it’s obvious Renee Good should not have…”

Unlike Trump, the oil execs realize Trump will not be in power forever and his guarantee likely won't get them very far. Also the facial expressions here are telling and weird.

So weird to be walking around, everyone's acting normally, businesses operating, yet here we are, living in a fascist dictatorship under the "leadership" of someone who emotionally arrested in 3rd grade + just declared that only his own "morality" need guide him on any action, foreign or domestic.

It’s therapeutic to be back in Casper, Wyoming. www.emophilips.com/shows

I am immune to haters also. Joe Bob Briggs said he loved me. Allen Ginsberg said I was a god of storm. Paul Krassner said he always wanted to see my work. Tony Hendra declared we were friends five minutes after we met. Maximum rock ‘n’ roll said I was the voice of my generation. All true.

Whenever people attack me. I just remember that my last stalker was forced by the court to pay me so much money I bought this house. He will never be out of debt. In his life. It warms my heart.

Pen pineapple apple pen.

Guys if you don’t come up with a real opposition to Trump pretty soon you’re never gonna recover from Trumpism. I’m your doctor. What the Democratic Party has right now is medically called “a failure to thrive.” They put that on death certificates.

Born again. This time as a farce.

All I want is a seat on the politburo. Surely a man can buy that. In this day and age.

I like robots. But I am not willing to fight in their army. Sorry, robots. I dislike cockroaches. Except Madagascar singing cockroaches; because they are exotic. And they put on a show. I like those fellows. They have an interesting culture. It is wrong the way people treat them

Recent statement from an unbiased observer: I have never seen you laugh. The observer clearly never saw one of my nefarious plans reach fruition. When that happens, I both explain and laugh maniacally. It echoes through the halls. It bothers the alligators.

The phrase good cheer implies there are other kinds of cheer. I am intrigued. Please send me the brochure. The orchestra conductor is akin to a young man playing air guitar. But old. Very old.

It’s weird when people try to fight with a known provocateur.

They say garlic cures everything except those things which cannot be cured by garlic. This seems reasonable. I am a garlic agnostic. I don’t know whether or not to believe in the power of garlic. There is an adult bookstore I really like, because they have the best books. But for adults.

Dragons are a wonderful audience, but their laughter can be problematic. Mr. T taught me so much about pitying fools. Or was that one particular fool? I guess I learned nothing. Socratic wisdom, Mr. T.

I am 97% water. No swimming. I am reminded of the old adage: it’ll get worse before it gets worse. A rising tide lifts all ships. Those without ships drown. But at least we saved the ships.

I am developing a panel game show with no winner, no prizes, and no game. I declare victory. It helps that I make up the rules and fail to disclose them to the other players. Whenever I make friends, angry villagers show up with pitchforks and fire. They can’t stop me.

Breaking news! It looks like the next star of my upcoming comedy audio series for @thesonarnetwork.bsky.social (most likely in the summer of 26) will be, none other, than my revered comedic hero, Chris Elliott. If you think what he did on Letterman was dark, well ... just wait ...

Democrats have at least one good office holder. It’s Rashida Talib. Make her president. Have her make your agenda. Current “leadership” is worthless. They just know how to appease the Republicans and kiss billionaire ass. You guys don’t support her because she’s a woman. Isn’t that how it goes?
