An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

City SC played bad in the end of that game, but it's insane to me that the broadcast can repeatedly show footage of an obvious handball, and it isn't even considered that they might check that on VAR.

I hadn't heard of this controversy before now, but it's really great to see one of my favorite comic creators come to the defense of one of my other favorites. Also this is really well articulated and I gained a new appreciation for the level of visual research that goes into nonfiction comics.

Grandpas were a salesman and the proprietor of a TV repair shop. Grandmas were a switchboard operator and a post office employee.

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

Everyone in STL is getting bombarded with ads that say Cori Bush is bad for jobs in St Louis. Actually look into what they're referencing, and it's because she opposes sending arms to Israel. Some of those bombs are made locally by Boeing. A vote for Wesley Bell is a vote for genocide.

getting mad at the film adaptation of journey to the west because it's not historically accurate. sun wokeong

My middle school bully died years later from getting drunk and being bit by a snake and my first thought when I heard was "hell yeah, that's hilarious." He didn't do anything nearly as horrible as Lindsey Graham.

Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

Do you live in St Louis? Do you like comedy? Are you free Saturday afternoon? You should come to Comedy Matinee, 2pm at Perennial Brewery in Carondelet. The lineup is really good. If you can't makes this week, it'll eventually be a monthly show. So follow me here or ComedyMatineeSTL on IG.

congrats america, some faceless government official will now be inspecting your childs genitals if they want to play sports with their friends

Just saw this and I'm so mad. I literally just introduced this show to another friend over the weekend. It was the funniest show to come out this year and I'll be surprised if anything comes close anytime soon.

Not only was Steyer's answer on this really good, it's appalling how BAD Becerra's answer is. He immediately rolls over then tries insulting the reporter's intelligence.

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

If you're stuck trying to fix a scene or make a plot point work better, just try to think of the stupidest thing that can happen in that moment. It won't necessarily be the answer, but it'll get you to the answer that is always stupider than what you originally had. This is probably comedy specific.

Writers: what’s a solid piece of *craft* advice you wish you’d known sooner? Mine is this: when making writing decisions, always stop and ask yourself what is best for the SCENE. What are the scene’s goals? Does this sentence, this paragraph, this line of dialogue serve those goals? If not, fix it.

as several people have pointed out, citing the fake "62 million" number rather than the true "1000 people" number actually lessens the possibility that anyone will face consequences for raping their spouse. It's actually possible to hold 1000 people accountable for that

Jackie is one of my favorite comics of all time, and I have loved all of her previous specials/ albums. I'm very excited to listen to this on a future roadtrip (my preferred non-live way to experience standup), but everyone else should watch this immediately.

dear everyone i know - especially comics that like me and happen to be far more successful - please repost and gush about my new special and album youtu.be/v5kJlI41V2g?...

This is from a live show in 2019. I can't remember why my character was worried about getting sent to Pervert Jail, but this was the slide that accompanied that moment.
