Nathan Fielder's success is proof we lost a lot when Comedy Central stopped being the top talent scout in the '10s. Since then Netflix has gotten us Hannah Gadsby and Nate Bargatze.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

I had TERRIBLE nightmares about the Wicked Witch/tornado from the Wizard of Oz.

Announcing the merger with Titanic footage is an incredible bit

In addition to being evil, these guys are incurable weirdos.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO somebody finally asked the transphobes if they know any WNBA players besides and NOPE

millennials only want one thing and it's watching Linda Cohn and Karl Ravech calling highlights on SportsCenter for a Mark Buehrle seven-inning, one-run, nine-hit, two strikeout game against the 2003 Kansas City Royals

Do you miss the direct-to-DVD era of movies? Want to watch TV shows from before you were born? Have you ever wondered if there’s a channel specifically for the Bolivian diaspora? Good news… it’s all on BOOFI!

Just never get into sports betting, gas station heroin, or creative writing, and you'll be fine

Hear ye, hear ye! My lawn sucks! www.chortle.blog/p/a-declarat...

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

I’ve never been so certain Nithya is going to win lol

There are bodies of water that are bigger, deeper, better smelling. But right now, in the summer of 2026, there is no body of water in America that is more talked about than the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. And she knows it. www.chortle.blog/p/exclusive-...

It was funny when Taylor Swift ruined everybody’s football games, but now she’s ruining my basketball game. Get outta here, Taylor.

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.

Hello, Mister President. It looks like you’ve got me. That’s right, you’ve finally caught the man who rigged California’s primary election.

Just put yourself out there, the more embarrassing it feels, the better you're doing, I swear

After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw Gator’s Tilt-A-Whirl from the Great American State Fair. This event does not align with our principles as an organization that includes one man and several tons of uninsurable machinery.

I’ve started measuring my life with sabermetrics, and I don’t love my stats right now… WAR: -1.2 (Weekends Actually Rested) K%: 18 (Kid, Percent Satisfied) xWIF: .773 (Expected rate at which I irritate my wife)

Lmao this is a great piece

Did you love these Michael Jackson biopic? If so, you’ll definitely enjoy these other non-controversial films!

I wrote about the photo, but I am still very interested in where this particular torch came from and how it was decided that we would be giving it to him on behalf of the city

Wow, a price update! This sounds like an exciting opportunity for me.

This is shocking and embarrassing @mayor.lacity.gov. A smiling photo op with the man who sent ICE into our city? Fuck off, Karen.

Earth Day is this week! Learn about the holiday’s past, present and future right here.

Mae sure you know whether you’re filing your taxes Frantically or Redundantly! www.chortle.blog/p/lesser-kno...

Reposting this @chortle.blog piece from @ninasharmawriter.bsky.social because once again reality is trying to one-up satire. www.chortle.blog/p/college-pr...

Ugh, what a morning. Sorry, I am late for work, but with the Strait of Hormuz closed, it is really throwing everything off. You guys get it, right? www.chortle.blog/p/sorry-im-l...

Kudos to the NCAA for correctly intuiting that when I turn on the Final Four, what I’m hoping to see is two DJs performing.

doing commercials used to be a shameful thing that you had to go to Japan to do

Hell yeah, Nithya is great.

Bass is such a coward. We gotta get rid of her asap.

El Centro absolutely sucks, so at least we have that. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

LA folks in Echo Park/Silverlake: ICE is staging at Vons on Alvarado, and have kidnapped vendors on Sunset and Alvarado and Sunset and Echo.

Been thinking about this song a lot recently. Two dead in MN. Dave is a real one.

Turns out the concept of a “fresh hell” doesn’t really ring true once all this shit starts blurring together.

What’s a word for being equally heartened and disheartened? I’m in awe of the bravery of Minnesotans and in despair at the thought that this will only escalate.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.
