I couldn’t tell you what episode it’s in, but I swear there’s one episode of Star Trek where Chekov does his “everything was invented in Russia” bit and then follows it with a private smirk that lets you know he’s been trolling everyone the whole time, and that’s the version of the character I love.

Get ready to hear more references to this jackass alongside the Wright Brothers and Zephram Cochrane.

So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

More accurately: Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed praised the U.S. Constitution during a Sorkinesque exchange in reply to a bad-faith question at a town hall.

Me, about to use my new AI-coded 3D-printed gun.

I’ve long said flying cars would never work because they would be too stupid and dangerous, and I’m going to keep saying that, but knowing that Elon Musk is making them, I can now stop at “would never work.”

The funny thing about Shane Gillis bombing with a routine about being at the gym is that it shows how he doesn’t put in the reps comedically. He doesn’t work out his material at the clubs. His punchlines are flabby. His comic mind is out of shape.

Shane Gillis fans who insist that he obviously must be funny because he’s the biggest selling standup comedian in the world neglects to mention that the same was once true of Andrew Dice Clay.

This is the best fake band name my wife has accidentally invented since she was struggling to remember Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band while half asleep and came up with “Doctor Monster and the Shit Kings.”

"So who could win in a fight? Mike Ditka or the Grim Reaper himself." "DITKA!" "DITKA! IN A LANDSLIDE" "I have to disagree. Da Specter Of Death comes for us all. (Pause) But I ain't ruling out him calling a trick play to escape Charon while crossing da river Styx."

It’s municipal election time, and that’s right, that means it’s also time to snitch to the city about bylaw-infringing signs that impede my ability to see oncoming traffic while turning.

I broke down and bought a black light flashlight to figure out what my two boys are doing to our bathroom, and the splatter pattern looks like Dexter’s kill room with urine.

My kid: Do you know the sun is going to explode in five billion years? Me: Well, I’m not looking forward to that. My kid: Don’t worry. You won’t be around to see it My kid: Unless ghosts are real. So now I’ve got *that* to worry about.

This is how you make the Streisand Effect work for you.

A judge dismissed former NFL player Matt Kalil's lawsuit against Haley Kalil over comments about his penis size She compared it to "two Coke cans stacked on top each other"

Something I liked about this season of Reacher is that they introduced a character with a black eye and then just never bothered to explain it. He just seemed like someone that someone else would probably punch, and that’s enough.

Many critics say the FBI has been fucking the dog instead of finding Nancy Guthrie, while others say they’ve already screwed the pooch. FBI Director Kash Patel adamantly maintains this is all legitimate police work.

FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers he changed the bureau's hiring standards to eliminate bestiality as an automatic disqualifier because he did not want to bar trafficking victims who had been forced to have sex with animals reut.rs/4yFCKuV

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.

Pretty tough day when Ms. Rachel denounces you as a moral coward.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."
