it's really a shame that American animators stopped blatantly ripping off live action sitcoms because it would be incredible if by 2040 Seinfeld was forgotten but a Hanna Barbera show where they were all cartoon cats was a staple of childhood.

FIFA, well-known for its integrity

Oh my godddd, every John Oliver scene on "General Hospital" as shadowy security consultant "Z" is fucking GOLD

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

now I shall show my manliness by dressing like a 1930s B-movie musical cowboy, I have my finger on the pulse of the Canadian electorate

Hello it’s me

the reason to believe this is that they keep saying it out loud, directly, and unambiguously

This isn't a court of law, it's an election. He is now unelectable. If he decides to just tough it out, Collins won't even have to campaign.

I always come back to this scene from "Fail-Safe": "KNOCK IT OFF! This isn't some damn football game!" Everything in American politics is presented as "winners and losers," "who's up, who's down" — it's all abstracted and no one realizes that lives are at stake. youtu.be/P73Gz0TaJgE?...

Chris Elliot lives in Maine, is funny, and has very few Nazi tattoos. Chris Elliot for Senate!

Susan Collins gonna thump him like a drum.

I was looking at this car again. My dad had a 1975 Impala, but I think the '74 is a little bit better-looking. The front end, in particular, was cleaner. Chevy really crudded them up in '76. (First two pictures from Curbside Classic - www.curbsideclassic.com, third photo from CarGurus.)

Logging on to Bluesky

We used to be a country. A proper country (via Curbside Classic)

Amtrak has promised to get back to me in 3-5 days about my complaint, "which is about how long they left us waiting in Chicago Union Station," according to my wife

Happy Independence Day, from the god Jack Handey.

Hey, kids ... no live show today. I'm still stuck in Chicago on the Mickey Mouse Express. Instead, 12-3 pm today on WRCT 88.3FM and Tube City Online Radio www.tubecityonline.com/radio, it's a show taped June 17 at McKeesport Good Neighbor Day. Please, no phone calls! Have a safe and happy Fourth.

yeah @netflix.com how?!?

For Christ's sake, tomorrow is the fourth of July, and we will be open for business!

Just about a year ago I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune Lookin' for a pot of gold Things got bad and things got worse I guess you will know the tune Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypoz...

We asked 25 Trump supporters if they supported Donald Trump. Here’s what they said.

The humidity in Pittsburgh in July is no joke in general, but especially not this week

He's also performing at the reception

So here's the deal ... if Amtrak (motto: "You'll get there eventually, probably") cooperates and returns us to Pittsburgh before 12 noon tomorrow, we'll have a live show on July 4. If not, you may get a rerun. Place your bets!

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

It's been nice to get to read @neilsteinberg.bsky.social in print this week for a change as opposed to online, but you should read him either way. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

if you are mad that left wing candidates won their primary over your preferred candidate then the problem is you don't really like democracy you just like it when you get your way

Guess I'm as qualified to comment here as anyone, having made my "rep" on historical narrative. Not buying the accusation of plagiarism with which the prof and her allies are filling Bluesky, as I've detailed in other posts. But Tillie and D&Q made a few key mistakes that would have prevented this.

And vibesmaxxed copy-pasted LLM-generated code. It's got what plants crave!

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

Hey Gang, We Have Another Hot Day Here In NJ With A Temperature Over 100° The Lighter Side Of Hot Weather Artist & Writer • Dave Berg MAD Magazine Issue No. 170 October 1974

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

I think I'm going to unplug the Internet and plug it back in, let me know if it gets any better

I prefer this song: We just whipped your red-neck asses From Antietam to Manassas You're in graves, with no slaves The Atlanta Braves really suck youtu.be/GFwNQne2vBA?...

Emily got mad because I think it's bad to plagiarize other people's work. She's a very serious artist. I hope she's just as forgiving when people steal her work.

That's not caulk. It's what my friend Mary calls "fuck-up foam." It's that expanding foam-in-a-can they sell to make emergency repairs to leaks (but which usually makes things worse). Yet another metaphor for the Trump Administration: Creates its own problems and leaves everything looking worse

My migraine medicine says "alcohol may intensify the effects" and they're right, it was a great suggestion

One of the reasons I'm quietly being more public about being queer is to break through that silo

We just released the unofficial America 250 shirt! This event is no moon landing, but we still think history will remember it as a certain milestone. www.raygunsite.com #raygun #American250 #GreatAmericanStateFair

What I like best about Canada Day are the day-after sales on poutine and maple syrup

Who was pitching for San Diego, Charlie Brown?

Shocking news in the local supermarket biz!

I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT INTO THE RADIO HALL OF FAME! It only cost me $24 for admission.

"It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here, your majesty," he said, and she smiled quietly to herself. #heatdome
