"Ahh, but the strawberries! That's— That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with geometric logic that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist! And I'd have PRODUCED that key if they hadn't've pulled the Caine out of action!"

if this is not an immediately fireable act, that is BAD NEWS for journalism

🤣

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Looks like a nightmare for the folks who have to provide security …

So how long before jealous and obsessive TV-watching Trump offers his angry review of Obama’s appearance on Colbert tonight?

Makes Bush reading My Prt Goat look brilliant in comparison …

The only thing that could save this CNN Ca gov debate would be for a couple of the sure-to-be also-rans to announce they’ve had a change of heart and are dropping out.

What are the odds Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses anyone in this Ca gov race? Can’t believe he’d endorse either of these Republican jokers, but would he support any of the Dems?

"What's your strategy?" "The strategy is laser focused." "Great. And what exactly is that strategy?" "Laser. Focused." "Right. Focused on ...?" "LASER focused. Kinetic. Lethal warfightering. Strategy."

In other words, White House signals bribes will be required to win AI approvals …

"Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people more strongly and destructively, expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end." How to compare Trump/Hitler, from @davidrlurie.com at @atrupar.com's place:

Porter, Villaraigosa, Mahan, & Thurmond need to drop out of the CA primary race. Steyer is dropping in the polls and may need to drop out as well. I'm voting for Becerra. I like him and he seems to have the best chance of winning. We can't let these MAGA candidates take the top spots.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

#Halfman is dramatizing an interesting dynamic and its actors are compelling, but I’m hoping every episode isn’t going to include Richard Gadd beating the shit out of someone because I can’t watch those scenes.

Yeah, because the one thing Trump Sr. loves more than being replaced is having his brand tarnished. Junior pitched this without telling him, guaranteed.

As it should be!

Okay, kudos to the headline writer at NBC.

There is absolutely no way anyone in the administration will understand a joke about the French and Indian War. That’s half the joke.🔥🔥🔥

🤦‍♀️

Blanche and Patel gathering evidence for Comey indictment …

So the NYTimes hasn’t updated its iPad Kimmel story from earlier in the day even though it’s now past midnight Pacific time and Kimmel’s monologue response has aired on both coasts. Guess no one there is in a rush to finish out the story. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

Why do I envision a scenario where Trump forces the White House press association to have their dinner at his house, charges them more than the Hilton for less capacity, and then at the last minute gets mad at some news story and cancels the whole thing.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

Please don’t reschedule the WH correspondents’ dinner. Enough is enough.

But he can’t go anywhere so he needs a ballroom bunker fortress. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

If life were like a Shondaland Netflix series, then all the guests would not have been allowed to leave the ballroom until Uzo Aduba’s detective Cordelia Cupp could arrive and interview them all …

“Please sir, I’m the FBI director and you’ve GOT to let me get this correspondent to safety!”

So, if true, there was clearly more security at the Oscars than at this event.

Karoline Leavitt to Fox before the WHCD event: There will be some shots fired tonight

“This ain’t Dallas, this is Nashville”

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

Can't believe the mentalist didn't see the shooting coming...

Its a little funny that the "best" of journalism are at a major event and no one knows what the fuck is happening

Scene now is looking like the Poseidon Adventure of WHCA dinners

“There is no reason to don a tuxedo and celebrate this racist wannabe tyrant. There is nothing to be gained by showing up to the dinner with the hopes of offering any small act of protest. Members of the industry should skip the event instead” - from Zeteo

In my decades as a reporter, I did some things I was ashamed of to get a story. I had to schmooze some bosses I despised to keep my job. But I’m glad to say I never had to bear the sort of shame that will haunt those who attend the WHCA dinner tomorrow.

Murdoch must be furious that Fox has been shoved aside in favor of Ellison and CBS… www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/b...

I'm loving this story about the annual travesty that is the White House Press Corps dinner, happening yet again Saturday night with First Amendment enemy Cankles expected to be in blowzy attendance. Let the sundowning begin! And may the rubber chicken be followed by hearty food poisoning for all.

Any journalist who shows his or her face at that miserable event deserves all the ignominy that results. These are not normal times. This is not normal governance. Wake the fuck up, American journalism.

To which Iran says: the difficulty in negotiating is that with all of your regime change, we don’t know who’s in charge… www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."

This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.

They are being called the "Liquor Cabinet" & I can't unsee it

Can’t keep up anymore.
