Improv at UCB in NYC. Was in a couple of issues of McSweeney’s, but a long time ago when it was less impressive. He/Him.

NYT: Remember ice cream? Cold, sweet and sticky, it’s the highlight of a hot summer’s day. Me: You mean fro-yo? NYT: No, ice cream. It’s different. Me: … NYT: You can get it on a cone, or in a cup… Me: I’m pretty sure you’re talking about fro-yo

Everybody’s talking about fro-yo, but remember ice cream? Cold, sweet and sticky, it's the highlight of a hot summer’s day. We scoured the five boroughs to find the best ice cream New York City has to offer. nyti.ms/4w8ZgKY

Cut to the conspiracy accidentally being uncovered when Kash Patel’s gf has a gig at the Kremlin

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "When that bursts -- which it did, it burst -- there's not much -- so I don't see a lot of evil there. I know there's all sorts of conspiracy theories going along and I think the FBI is wasting their time if they're doing that"

I’ve stopped believing in so many things over the last several years, one of those things is “white hat hackers who have the ability to break into any computer database”

Gill: "The FBI has admitted that it has in its possession training videos instructing analysts at the FBI on how to redact the Epstein files ... instructing them on how to find and log and mark Trump's name and other information for redaction."

I guess my deal is that when I concentrate I’m able to see the infinite and overwhelming beauty in everything, but also I assume the “beauty” is actually just my tiny li’l meat brain short circuiting?

My pitch to George R.R. Martin is for him to go meta with the last two books - insert himself as a character, incorporate writer’s block into the magic system

After last night’s apocalyptic thunderstorm followed by fireworks, this morning my dog did his “Father, see the treats up there on the shelf?” routine, except for his Doggy Prozac

Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve gotten a text from ConEd saying “heads up, we’re gonna send you less electricity, some of your stuff might not work” I HOPE THE DATA CENTERS WILL BE OKAY

You can’t make me learn about the hot new band Geese and then a year later reveal that this whole time there’s also been an even more successful band called Goose

Hey remember when we blew up the leader of another country because we thought the country might be a threat some day? So is that legal now, or what exactly is the deal

Remember when the first trillionaire said Trump wasn’t releasing the files because he was in the files? And he is indeed in the files, and he’s not releasing the files because he’s in the files? Do you remember that? Wild. Anyway, excited for the bloodsport fight at the Lincoln Memorial

I hope one day we’re visited by god-like space aliens who share their utopian blueprint with us and it’s literally just “if someone’s personal wealth surpasses a billion astro dollars then we eat them”

I believe in you, NYC

Once Elon Musk did an apperance at a Dave Chapelle show in San Francisco and was booed so fiercly that colleagues called the cops for a wellness check and if New York doesn't out-do that tonight, then what are we even doing here.

There are currently Toy Story 5 audio ads on NYC subway trains and in stations, and they are GLORIOUS. Excruciatingly loud and garbled, totally incomprehensible except for something about “tech” and a snippet of Randy Newman melody. This is the dystopian Singularity we were promised

If you’re confused about the term “ceasefire” and how it now includes the possibility of active fighting, you are old fashioned and still clinging to the idea that words have permanent meanings. We are still in a ceasefire, we have always been in a ceasefire

Not now, Sun

404 Media@404media.co

Astronomers discovered that magnetic activity in the Sun is being squeezed into a more tightly confined area under its surface, which has implications for space weather forecasts and heliophysics.

If you’re a UCB person and you don’t have original, commissioned Dyna Moe art on your walls, what are you even doing?

💥@dynamoe.bsky.social

my credentials: I was the house designer for the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NY for like 200+ show promotions. Then I drew little cartoon people for MAD MEN (avatar app, book, promos) for 8 years. A book called Hipster Animals after that. But since COVID I ain't been doing shit.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

The war Not a war No mission To creep It’s over We won Now go back To sleep

Israel and Hezbollah continued to trade fire on Saturday, despite a cease-fire. And the U.S. and Iran had yet to reach a breakthrough on Saturday in negotiations to end more than two months of war. Follow live updates.
