America's hottest podcast about a Canadian cult comedy is back!

I never expected the response to this essay to be so volcanic or so positive. I didn't know I was tapping such a deep vein of feeling. I just needed to put down my own, and I subbed it because I was proud of the work and needed a paycheck. thank you so much, for reading. I am humbled.

Thanks to @magsvisaggio.com for this. If you read nothing else today, read this.

This was the point all along. To insist that everyone fits neatly into a pink or blue box, so that it's easier to justify treating the whole pink box as less deserving of rights and opportunities and dignities than the blue.

My wife on the Digger trailer: “why are you going to pay for Tom Cruise and just have him play Sam Rockwell?”

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

we're back in 2 days!

This is what I'm talking about when I say how incredible it is that DC Comics put out an interconnected story over three months with a double-sized special, a graphic novel and miniseries focused on two trans women, one of whom is an out lesbian.

In the universe next door, the map did include Jewish neighborhoods and exactly the same people are outraged he’s equating Jews with foreigners.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

the ongoing defense of Platner tells me that plenty of men on the left hate women more than they love their supposed principles

Graham Platner hid his sexual assaults the right way. by Ezra Klein

When I worked in higher ed, I would internationally make some orientation presentations sound like this. Students would all make fun of it together and build connections. This shit is going to backfire spectacularly.

The minions join the women’s rights movement with Dort the Robot

Yes please

Nothing has united the borough of Queens more than hating the Yankees.

When I posted this back in 2025, I was swarmed by "rule of law" apologists who called this unnecessarily alarmist. If you were one of those people, may I humbly suggest you sit the next year or so out?

New York's Power grid is struggling and people are losing access to air conditioning in extreme heat. But sure, use a bunch of power to celebrate a billionaire's wedding and shut down large parts of NYC on a holiday weekend. Fuck this shit.

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!

Ezra Klein is the ultimate “large vocabulary moron.” He think knowing facts and using big words means he has good insight. He is completely devoid of self reflection, deep analysis, morals, or basic understanding of how things work.

Even though this is one of the worst teams of my lifetime, Pride Night at Citi Field is always one of the highlights of my summer

I get to see a new Jackass movie in a theater tonight. Things aren’t completely awful.

My definitive Toy Story ranking: 2>1>5>4>3

Please show up if you can: this is the only way to stop this.

On tomorrow’s mini-episode, I discuss my deep love of X-Terminators by @iamhandaxe.bsky.social

Fuck it, the world is on fire. I'm buying Sully(2016) on 4K UHD.

I don't think we talk enough about whatever The Crazy Frog was, or how often he was fully nude other than his leather jacket

ENDURANCE - It's time to wipe that decadent homo-sexual grin off your face.

I am convinced there are members of this administration, starting with the president himself, who would bring back slavery if they could.

The thing about Spielberg, something that David Lynch first pointed out, is that in his own way he's just as much of an idiosyncratic director as any you could mention, it's just that his personal vision seemed to resonate with mainstream audiences. He shaped the status quo as much as anything.

I had a pretty good run of not being a horny freak about Mrs. Met. That streak ends on tomorrow’s episode.

I desperately want someone to go on Ezra Klein’s stupid podcast and ask him about this.

So Will Wheaton is going to keep calling himself an ally to women while touring with Corey Feldman? There is a whole ass documentary backing up the credible allegations against Feldman.

same with trans healthcare but it's apparently fearmongering to even mention the material reality of Mamdani promising very specific actions to help trans kids only to turn around and institutionalize illegal healthcare discrimination against trans kids in city healthcare services

Fellow cis people: Making up “cutesy” pronouns for yourself is literally making a game and a joke out of people’s identities. It’s so fucking disrespectful and dismissive. Take pronouns seriously.

I love my city so fucking much

It's honestly the funniest thing that the only game the Knicks lost in 2 months was the one Trump attended.

The only good use of AI is auto-generated podcast chapters

Introducing @kitstrudel.bsky.social to this comic is my version of a nerd showing their kid Star Wars for the first time.

Words cannot express how much I ended up loving THE SHEEP DETECTIVES after seeing it on a whim.

When I hear "you have to support Democrats no matter what", I think of the trans people wiped out by the Inquisition while politicians stood by, I think of the trans people wiped out by the Nazis while politicians stood by, I think of the trans people wiped out by AIDS while politicians stood by.
