Samberg as Neil Diamond is ALMOST Beetlejuice

Goes in the “George Will And The DH Rule” of takes

Mike Vrabel’s halftime message to his team was simple. We need to block. We need to tackle. We need to throw and catch and run. We need to play football. Do NOT play basketball. Don’t even think of throwing a ball into a hoop

For some reason I’m reminded of the Super Bowl that was full of ads for crypto boldly proclaiming to get on board with the future or get left behind. How’s that going?

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

The Muppet Show is good tv because it is messy and lighthearted tv in an era where everything is a long movie. You really should watch it *this weekend* and Disney really should make more.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Also, *you can call in* to this and I think it would be hilarious if you did.

America’s deep strain of anti-Black racism is best defined by disbelief. It happens to you, there are racists, and white moderates (ask MLK admonishingly called them) find ways to disbelieve you. To explain it away. To land on anything but the truth. Let’s see how the headlines disbelieve this.

This is an… insane announcement but: I am guest hosting a week of shows next week on SiriusXM. 2-4PM EST on The Catholic Channel, 129. A show that knows all the Mass prayers, but will also demand the Pope come on and do futures bets on the 2026 NFL season. Should be fun. See you Monday!

"How will America ever go back to normal after Trump" My brother in Christ, COVID was just 5 years ago and today I was on a packed subway in New York City in flu season and NO ONE HAD MASKS ON.

less important point but just consider how many times this one clip has been viewed since last night (4 million on Instagram alone) and then contrast that with tech billionaires saying it’s “not profitable” to make these kinds of shows anymore. it quickly becomes very clear what’s really going on

The NFL, a league that is almost 60% Black, had 10 open head coach positions this year. More SIBLINGS OF OTHER COACHES were hired than Black people. So, I RE-present something I wrote years ago.

TV is about falling in love with fictional characters through parasocial hangouts and repetitive exposure and I don't know how people are supposed to do that with eight episodes every 2.5 years You are LOSING money by making LESS TV, hits come from BLASTING THEM into people's BRAINS [complimentary]

This seems incredibly simple. Minions are a Universal property. NBCU is a huge Olympic broadcaster. Just cut the check and embrace the viral human interest story.

Journalism was gutted into a shell of itself after selling out to big tech and private equity. Film/TV was gutted into a shell of itself after selling out to big tech and private equity. If you love something, the worst choice you can make is to sell it to someone who doesn’t love it at all.

How did these guys get away with this (A compliment)

I wrote about death. My dad's. My eventual own. And the unfading changes that come out of someone close leaving you behind. www.omgreg.com/p/as-of-wedn...

Black History Month should make a great migration to June

Print ‘em out, grandpa, we all wanna see ‘em

Introducing The NY FAIR News Act, legislation that establishes clear protections for both journalists, media professionals and the broader public to ensure that the integrity of the news and its workforce are safeguarded against artificial intelligence. Read more: www.wgaeast.org/fahy-rozic-i...

Going to say, as I do every year, that the Emmys should take a page from the Grammys and incorporate the talents of the nominees into the show.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

“I can’t believe what America is becoming!” America ten years ago:

I would call them immoral but it's worse than that. It is an environment where the highest degree of immorality is celebrated, and you celebrated for finding more ways to exceed it. A sea of vicious and jeering young men who have surrendered any sliver of human decency and cannot be redeemed.

Why does Lindsay Graham always watch his preview monitor during interviews instead of looking down the pipe of the camera?

it is truly eyeroll inducing how SO MANY modern spy novels make sure to pause the action for a sex scene that absolutely screams “written by and for guys who pop cialis and don’t believe women orgasm”

it is quite literally their instinct and no one in this video has any memory that they said any of this

I have been taking Thoughts I would normally fire off on social media and instead turning them into daily newsletter posts. Tonight's just went out. So if you like this, check out / subscribe to OMGreg.

The “don’t criticize people choosing the right side late” crew is absolutely, 100%, going to use that argument to embrace MAGA members of Congress who conveniently turn on Trump after he’s gone

if a person recently had a “conversion” to the good side of the fight and their first thought is to complain about people asking “what took so long,” they didn’t have a conversion and they are making the entire state of a resistance movement about themselves.

Taking bets now: what will Trump claim as a Roy Cohn style win if/when he pulls out of Minnesota?

hey folks, six figure opinion columnist here and gotta say, made a big ol’ whoopsie on the most consequential and honestly, probably the most obvious opinion of my life. thats my bad. anyway, guess I’ll just keep getting paid to give my opinion, thanks for reading

you are truly deranged if you still think a comedian doing comedy a certain way is going to fix this it’s all been done. for a decade. it doesn’t change anything. what some people want is a catharsis that allows them to sleep comfortably instead of taking to the streets that’s not comedy’s job

one small piece of advice I have for cable news is that you don't have to put the dumbest liar you know on your television show even if they are in congress

This is a good thing for Schumer to do, but realpolitik - it is not leadership and it is not brave… he did it after it was clear the full funding package would fail because he didn’t have enough Dems willing to cross the aisle.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

only one way out

He could (send ICE to) stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose a single Republican in Congress.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

These 7 Democrats voted less than a week ago to fund DHS and ICE.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.

mama I’m tired of being right

Literally, Lisa Murkowski & Thom Tillis & Mike Johnson & John Thune & Susan Collins & Brian Fitzpatrick & David Valadao & company should not be able to enter the Capitol or appear in the media without being bombarded with questions about why they aren't fulfilling their oaths right now. Focus.

The people Vance is talking to/about spend their entire day in front of computer screens writing angry comments about they haven't achieved their dreams (spending all day in front of a microphone saying angry comments).

If you need a little dose of the excellent parts of America that remain unsullied, Gauff / Baptiste - two Black women - are playing in the third round of a major. Couldn’t have dreamed of it as a kid in the 80s. Love to see it.

It is not a "looming ban" it is a ban that was passed by the United States Congress and signed by the President of the United States. It's a law.
