Somehow, 27 years ago today. Wearing a tux, screaming on stage at St. John's Gym in Clinton, MA. Opening the show with Ducky Boys, Showcase Showdown and Dropkick Murphys

Remember Baby Tees? Like every band had to have a Baby T for their merch? What was that all about?

Israel is a fucking monster and that's it.

FYI - You guys have a little under 36 hours to put me on 2025 top ten lists.

Michael Dukakis was my speech and rhetoric professor in college. He would often walk the campus picking up garbage (actual trash, not tramps). I would be eating lunch alone and he would ask to join me. So it would be me eating a tuna sub, Dukakis, and a bag of garbage. Regularly.

Honestly, this was my favorite part of playing GTAV Online

Omg RIP😭😭😭

Petey has been really enjoying the couch lately

I once saw Bob Odenkirk arguing with his teenage daughter shopping at The Grove

When dogs do drag they dress up like cats and nobody can convince me otherwise

I assure you, she isn't, and I don't

So @lexialex.bsky.social filed this appeal but is only getting automated replies @support.bsky.team very disappointed given @aaron.bsky.team also lives in Ireland. Have they not taught you anything about solidarity with Palestine?

Yes yes yes. People are shocked when I tell them it's at least 4:1 time wise (meaning four hours of work for every released hour) and it's way easier to make seamless edits on audio only than with video.

So glad to see this written about. It takes 4 - 6 (or more!) human labor hours of editing, mixing and mastering to make a 90 minute conversation flow nicely and artfully. Video-forward shows tend to excise this process entirely and the resultant conversations flow and sound like shit as a result.

It’s so fake when people talk about the “Real America” being the heartland or whatever because the Real America is New England.

This has been happening since the Turner Diary days. These are basically total RPG losers desperate to feel power

It's a cold, wet, foggy, grey and grim day

Every year I do a solo "Year in Review" episode of my podcast TV Guidance Counselor, going week by week and just talking off the top of my head about each episode and whatever else was going on. This year was rough, but we made it through. On to 2026 tvguidancecounselor.libsyn.com/tv-guidance-...

And now the overwhelming depression and anxiety of January and February in New England. After 2025 I am particularly not looking forward to it

Don't let the GOP and this President forget that their actions directly kill people.

Periodic reminder that Jared Kushner is an incredibly dumb piece of shit who's only accomplishment in life was being born rich, marrying a corrupt talentless rich plastic surgery disaster and then being amoral enough to be purchased by the Saudis

Sometimes you find a vintage promotional pinback badge for "Phantom of the Mall Eric's Revenge" in a random box in your bathroom. Just me? (Also I'm spreading a rumor the movie is official canon in the Good Wife/Good Fight universe)

This is so strange to me. Many of these shows don't even release an audio only version. I also always see them make sure they have visible mics (no lavs) which sometimes aren't even plugged in

The purposes of immigration jail are "supposed" to be 1) make sure ppl show up for court hearings; 2) protect public. It is not a criminal sentence. When govt arrests ppl who are not dangerous at court hearings, they prove it's about punishment. That's illegal. www.latimes.com/california/s...

These ICE agents are worthless sacks of shit and when the next administration is in office I hope they find out they do not have blanket immunity for the crimes they are committing

What about if interacting with humans drains is of energy and motivation and we take days to recover?

Can you believe some maniac donated this?!?

Petey demanded we do a Kolchak The Night Stalker double feature tonight. So that's what we're doing

This is some massive bullshit

These are the folks doing all this incredible research. humanrightsfirst.org/ice-flight-m...

Your Holiday reminder that ICE is the antithesis of everything the United States should stand for and is staffed by the most vile, bottom of the barrel, losers possible

This one? It's for the children

Ted is this year's Christmas Boy

Spend Xmas Eve in the company of witches! I'm livestreaming the spookily queer Christmas classic BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE. Going live now! twitch.tv/mattbaume

Peace on Earth from 1939 is one of my favorite cartoons ever. Haunting and beautiful. It's a must watch every Christmas

It begins...

and what you're telling me is that I CANNOT buy a stuffed Emmet Otter to hug?

Ladies and gentlemen, the commercial you are about to see is true. youtu.be/o5XIDoUXq_I?...

For those of you who haven't ever seen it, or not in a while, it's DRAMATICALLY different (and frankly better) than what you think the Grinch is like based on the last 20 years of movies/TV/theme parks

Russel Brand is a rapist. Lots of people have known he is a rapist. For a long time.

Picked up the wrong half of this package first before throwing it away and was confused

The lazy, dumbass redaction fails, don't matter. There is nothing in those files that will change the minds of a single MAGA. They are all in, they will claim things are fake or they will justify the most awful crimes. They are a lost cause.

It's the final TV Guidance Counselor guest of 2025 (next week I fly solo for our Year in Review), and it's a good one! The very funny Douglas Widick and I take a look at the 1999 Holiday Guide tvguidancecounselor.libsyn.com/tv-guidance-... tvguidancecounselor.com or your favorite podcast app

This friggin Lumberfuck idiot seems to not realize Blue States fund the government. That's OUR taxpayer dollars.
