When MAGA’s sharpest minds rationalize hatred for their perceived enemies (Democrats, immigrants, journalists, educators, liberals, etc.) it’s always: “They’re evil, and they want to destroy America.” This is also how a child would explain Megatron to a grown-up.

New episode of Collect All 79 just dropped! In this installment, I get my hands on the final five Endor figures I need for my collection, plus a vintage Kenner Speeder Bike. Please like and subscribe nerds! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpdq...

MAGA’s devotion to groupthink means millions of fools now have to pretend to like Kid Rock. I remember when Americans were in agreement that his music was dog shit, but now old boot-licking bigots are hearing “Cool Daddy Cool” while choking out the words “oh, yeah, man. This is great. Woo.”

Happy anniversary of “Trump told them to go peacefully but he pardoned everyone who disobeyed but people strolling through the Capitol isn’t a riot but FBI instigators started the riots but he’s a strong commander-in-chief but Speaker Pelosi didn’t deploy the National Guard” to those who celebrate.

“This is it. This is what you’ve trained for all year. New Year’s Eve. The BIG DANCE. You got this. We all believe in you.” -a coke dealer’s coach

Watch me play along with a drum-less mix of the Jackson 5's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Recommended for anyone who delights in children terrified of Santa. youtu.be/105hceHkw0k?...

The only NYC mayor that rural MAGA shitposters have ever respected is Rudy Giuliani. He was Republican. He was Christian. He was married to his cousin.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone online who is furious and terrified over mayoral election results in a city they’ve never visited. 🗽❤️

This year’s jack-o-lantern pays tribute to the one from the opening shot of my favorite horror movie: Creepshow (1982). 🎃

This month I've replayed Resident Evil VII, Resident Evil: Village & the remake of Silent Hill 2 which reminds me that last year I released a song about these things. This holiday season, please revisit my music video for "Every Survival Horror Game." youtu.be/mpmYAdXkchc?...

I’ve done lots of weird stuff this month. (Naturally. It’s Halloween, I’ve been busy with the #Bunnys31DaysofHalloween project, and well, I’m just generally a weird little guy.) But the weirdest thing I’ve done this month is creating a silicone crucifix. Happy Halloween, creeps.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Just this year alone, the MAGA movement’s core values have been retconned more times than the Halloween film franchise.
