Gee Whiz, It’s Christmas.

This is a bummer. I went to a couple good shows there, including seeing The Avalanches there.

This is might be the best thing I experienced today. And for context, I bumped into Fatlip at the grocery store today as well.

Can I ask y'all a question?

I’m glad @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social decided to visit the borough whose rough street produced some of the best emcees ever. Brooklyn is still wild, just a gentrified type of wild.

Just putting it out there into the universe bc you never know: if any of you happen to own a copy of this Robyn tour poster from 2019 (specifically THIS one, with the Hollywood Palladium date, not the second poster released later on in the tour), I will make you a very generous offer.

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

This holiday season, consider streaming services that pay artists more fairly by @bcmerchant.bsky.social — www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete...

I’m intrigued.

99% of the time. It is my preferred way to attend a concert.

There was a fire that caused the closure of a Metro station and 20 minute train delays. As a result the Metro has achieved NYC subway levels of crowdedness.

I think the fact that Billboard used a photo that’s only 2/3s Bee Gees really undermines/answers the rhetorical question. Thank goodness @billboard.com doesn’t purport to be a reputable industry source, or else this Maurice Gibb erasure would be pretty embarrassing.

Judgement Night Black Panther Dead Presidents Whiplash The Outfit The Muppet Movie Out of Sight And while they’re recent drops Sinners (both soundtrack and score) and One Battle After Another have been in heavy rotation and may end up all-timers.

WGAE members, this is going to be such an amazing event on Zoom, with panelists @susanrinkunas.com of @autonomynews.co, Zora Howard, Eliza Hittman, and Caren Spruch of @ppfa.org, moderated by @melissahilfers.bsky.social! RSVP in the link!

" ... so you're saying I get to tell Trump AND Texas to go fuck themselves with one vote? What's the catch?"

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

Hard to think of a comic that has scratched a particular itch as well as the Absolute Batman Annual.

Preach! @tmobilesupport.bsky.social is indeed trash.

In my happy place.

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice.

To say that Charlie Kirk cared about engaging with people and changing their minds is like saying the Harlem Globetrotters care about the challenge of playing competitive basketball. www.indignity.net/il-est-charl...

Things are dire. We’re losing faith in institutions. Journalism is, at best, under attack and at worst rolling over for an authoritarian. It is a dark moment in history. But at least The Morning Show is back and giving me faith in journalists and journalism again.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Is this doing politics the right way @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social? Lies and hate is doing politics right is it? Maybe if the lies and hate were directed at you, you’d see things differently. (By the way this post is doing politics right).

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

Last September Charlie Kirk claimed that Haitian immigrants in Huntsville were "raping your women and hunting you down at night." He said that rural Alabamians faced a future in which Haitian immigrants "will become your masters." www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

They could make it today! The guys finally come back from Mexico. Or we open with Hank waiting for Britt to come out of jail... again.

some remarkable stuff happening in the Tucson region, don't miss it this is a really interesting public official / local leader:

Voting is important.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

To any kids out there who are feeling overburdened by mitochondrial challenges I just want to say, it gets better.

It genuinely tickles me that I’ve lived long enough to see Snoop Dogg become C. Delores Tucker.

Hopefully, when he’s old enough, Papa Snoop will be able to explain things to his grandson with these movies, which I’ve got to believe have scenes with lesbians in them.

Big Boi is like “I am also capable of outlandish releases no one was asking for or really wants.”

you got it boss

Cop Rock. Quincy M.E. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Fish. Miami Vice.

Today I wrote about the process of working with my friend Chris Oullette on a commission. The article is filled with my notes, Chris's work in process steps including rough, pencils, and inks. timstevensisungajje.com/news/the-art... If you are a process nut like me, you might dig it.

Proposition: Rod Fehlman should be “cancelled,” and it would be an exercise of free speech rights to participate in his “cancellation,” and squeamishness about “cancelling” him reflects an inherent bias in favor of the rights of people like Fehlman at the expense of people like the victims. /1

hello @jamesgunn.bsky.social if you need people to be in a movie I'm ready to get super buff I just need like a two day heads up

Late night shows are not cheap but its insane for someone who's whole brand is math to say 200 people are making 250k a year.... and also to assume that because that's how it was at ABC news? Talk to all the minimum wage people who made ur face look presentable on screen

Sorry what the fuck is Nate Silver on thinking that everyone who works at a late night show makes $250k a year. I made basically minimum wage half my time working in late night and i can assure you that has not changed for a majority of late night show staffs

Just a reminder - Zohran Mamdani’s mom is a world class filmmaker, and Mississippi Masala is a truly great film. Watched it for the first time in decades last night and was knocked out all over again.

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.
