Happy Independence Day from July 4th.

My car alarm system hates me and my car.

Apologies to Opie. It was Anthony’s hook. I’m sure Opie went down South in the 60’s to participate in civil rights protests.

I appreciate this. It makes me very happy to hear. “half listening to Opie & Anthony.” That’s so funny. They reminded me of the bullies who picked on me growing up in Queens, so I was both enraged and scared of them. They tried to shock jock themselves to fame. Racism was Opie’s hook.

That reporter must have been reincarnated as a modern-day NYT reporter. How else to explain all the “insiders say that Ivanka Trump is a moderating influence on her father” articles from the days of the first Trump administration?

i’m gonna try to be polite here and just show you the Nazi party platform from 1920 Where he explicitly lays out what he wanted to become and almost achieved. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

I have a smart phone, but it’s is just book smart.

Abolish ICE

I try to remember the NYT used to say things like “Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so violent or genuine as it sounded” www.vox.com/2015/2/11/80...

45 years ago today. Buried on page 20 on a holiday Friday just like this one, news that changed the world. www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/u...

Trans athletes in sports and voter fraud fall into the same stupid category: Both happen rarely, have little effect on most people's lives, and take up a huge amount of wasted discussion that should be focused on affordable groceries, housing, and healthcare.

E. Jean Carroll's Supreme Court VICTORY Over Trump! youtu.be/P0vNAdCB6kk?...

the cast look so relaxed and are definitley enjoing their meals, and not terrified at all.

This “reviewer” from the NY Times left his ability to be discerning outside the theater.

It’s depressing enough that Lorne Michaels goes to the same restaurant every week and forces the cast to dine with him. But why film it and make us watch it. #LorneDocumentary

I rarely care who wins a World Cup match I watch, but I tend to root against the team whose fans sing the same 8 bar song repeatedly and continuously.

Good thing no one will be there.

Got a question for next week's Spiral? Leave it here by tomorrow at 9am. #TestShow456

Just watched the doc “Lorne.” What a pompous bore. The most interesting thing about him is that he likes popcorn. Seriously. Not comedically.

Sen. Ron Johnson of WI praises Jimmy Dore's antivax conspiracies. "The majority of the legacy media is completely ignoring what I consider the greatest government scandal of my lifetime."

Jimmy Dore tells Sen. Ron Johnson that his former Hollywood friends "created science as their religion, and they've created Fauci as a deity." "And of course you can't question religion or a deity or that makes you a heretic."

Ryan Grim believes that Joe Rogan only moved to the far-right because people criticized his history of racist and transphobic comments after Bernie Sanders first went on his show.

Why do you always repost your own stuff Andy? It’s gauche!

Watching people twist themselves into a pretzel trying to say something positive about the guy who helped elect Trump was embarrassing.

HOLY SHIT. FIFA President Gianni Infantino is at the USA game, sitting with Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce AND CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Disgusting.

Yeah! Are we BETTER than friends of Nazis or something?? (I am!) 👍

I’m Mr. Amplify!!!

His best life is hanging around with MAGA assholes? Who are we to judge? The people living in this country during a fascist takeover. I hope you’re not rounded up or murdered by ICE. But if you are, remember, no whining.

Looks like he’s living his best life! Who are we to whine about it or judge him 🤷‍♀️ It certainly won’t take away his comedy or his massive success.

Today we are reviewing Minions and Monsters and Supergirl

Nate looks like a fascist Zelig.

In what part of Japan do they fry up their sushi?

When baseball players hit a foul ball off their ankle or foot they launch into their Walter Brennan impressions.

Gelbs is doing his pregame hit indoors today. I'm sure he'll say it's due to the rain, but we all know he's avoiding Mr. Met.

Today my wonderful mom would have been 97. If she lived this long she would have been very cranky.

lol what happened here

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

I think about gay men during the AIDS crisis, in the face of what often seemed like utter hopelessness, using everything in the arsenal--rage, resolve, defiance, humor, sexual energy, imagination, and art--to prevent despair from ruling the day. Even Larry Kramer didn't simply say, "We're doomed."

Today in The Mets Newsletter: ($) - The Young and the Hitless - Andy Green's Mets play good defense - The Phillies beat them anyway - David Stearns said a lot/a little themetsnewsletter.com/p/the-young-...

I hope that @andykindler.bsky.social puts in his resume for managing the Mets, and if he gets the job, I hope he has the hitters focus less on hitting home runs, and more on getting singles, doubles, and a third type of hit. (Sorry)

Read the damn room, Mr. Met.

This is fire! Am I using that word correctly? Right on!
