If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.

I guess I knew on some level that the lyric in “Beast of Burden” wasn’t “So let’s go home, then go to Perkins” but I’ve always preferred it.

1980s Comedy Store door guy Marc Maron talking to 1960s Village Vanguard door guy Christopher Guest on WTF is pretty amazing.

All I can think of is that Mitch Hedberg “escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience!” bit.

Best WWI overview: A World Undone by GJ Meyer Best memoir: Poilu by Louis Barthas, a frontline account from a socialist French baker Best insane substory: The White War, by Mark Thompson, about the Italian front and the insane personalities involved in Alpine warfare

Who called it a Popemobile and not a Christler?

In Intriguing Furniture news: yesterday I visited Lichfield Cathedral and found a new 13 metre long table made from a 5000-year-old oak log discovered perfectly preserved in a peat bog in 2016. The cut planks took 9 months to dry out, losing 2 tonnes of weight in the process. Definitely haunted...

oooh and it's all right, and it's coming along (my essay on Slap Shot, that is)

That the first contribution letter to his boys camp being from a shoeshine boy broke me You see, my father was a shoeshine boy and no one believed in the ideals of this country more than my dad From that beginning to Assistant Secretary of State is something only possible here Okay, now I’m crying

Fascinating time to air MR SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON @tcmtv.bsky.social here’s one of my favorite reaction shots by a true master as he silently compares who he was to what he has become Perfect take from a consummate craftsman Then his introspection is broken by his puppet master Great filmmaking

Look at this sweet girl

We don’t have Disney so I can’t cancel it, but I will kick the Hollywood Blvd. Mickey Mouse in the nuts next time I see him.

Rita Moreno won an Emmy for THE ROCKFORD FILES #OTD in 1978. The way she hugs longtime friend James Garner — and pays tribute to ROCKFORD's all-star creative team — is pure warmth and grace. #TVSky #ClassicTV #RitaMoreno

Anyone who thinks Charlie Kirk's killing was "arguably the most-high profile killing of a political figure since the '60s" should be kept far, far away from a network newsroom. What about Harvey Milk and George Moscone? Or Allard Lowenstein? Hell, Leo Ryan was gunned down at Jonestown!

Hey, Toronto pals! It’s Mimi Pond!

Oh my god caffeine is wonderful! I can hear my hair screaming

So many bangers, this fucking guy

is it possible to not believe in ghosts but do believe a place can be haunted

Okay, but who is ordering the pint of guac when it's cheaper to order two half pints?

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

Never ever go to a second location. I doubt Doocy is strong enough to kick out a tail light

Oh my god “Happy birthday to my wingman, Jeffrey Epstein. Fondly, Z"

Replace the Wilhelm scream with the Howard Dean scream
