My wife got a picture of the band for our production of Measure for Measure before the show started, when we were just messing around. That’s me on the right on bass.

Dunno about you but I’m sick, VERY sick, of having my intelligence insulted

live action Lockhorns

It's amazing how editors will say "we can't see inside this public figure's mind," "we can't assume their intentions" — and then write stuff like this.

honestly this just makes me nostalgic for the obama years, I kinda miss everyone constantly losing their minds over the stupidest bullshit imaginable rather than committing 47 front pages worth of crimes on a daily basis

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

But you see, the problem is bus lanes.

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

Happy St. Crispin's Day to those who observe (Shakespeare weirdos, primarily)

DEBATE MODERATOR: We’ve heard from many constituents about this as their number one campaign issue, so we will ask both candidates: Do you disavow President Obama’s comments on The Cheesecake Factory?

Rooting for the Brewers because we had a great time at HEIST there in 2013.

Earlier tonight, I made baked ziti. I should have planned more time for the sauce, but it turned out really well.

Tonight’s movie: Immaculate (2024). Sydney Sweeney plays a young nun at a creepy convent and she’s mysteriously pregnant. Some Omen and Rosemary’s Baby vibes. Kind of gory, not too scary, about what we expected. I was surprised by the ending, I thought it would go another way.

Tonight’s movie: Maximum Overdrive. I thought I’d seen it before but I had not. I’d have remembered something this stupid. Maybe it makes more sense if you’re on cocaine when you watch it. A truly ridiculous move. Love the AC/DC songs on the soundtrack.

Convening a focus group of 30 people who have no idea what's going on and no expertise on basically any topic and just turning them loose. "Fuck me up," I tell them. "Just give me all the dumbest stuff you've got."

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."

bring back shame people shouldn’t think it’s acceptable to go on camera and be this openly racist

With Tom Skerritt's passing, the cast of Alien have so far died in the same order as the director's cut (where they find Dallas still alive waiting to become a cocoon): 1) John Hurt 2) Harry Dean Stanton 3) Ian Holm 4) Yaphet Kotto 5) Tom Skerritt It's macabre, sure, but it's also fascinating.

Larry Craig's first TripAdvisor review

the people who are like "brad lander flew across the world to get arrested by a famously lethal army just for a photo op" sound like they frequently slip on banana peels

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

these guys are evil and dangerous but also just utter fuckin buffoons lol just such incompetent embarrassing boneheads

What a %&$@! headline!! He didn't "pass" to close to cyclists. HE HIT THEM! And they didn't "collide"! HE HIT THEM! Because he was CARELESS and IMPATIENT and ANGRY and a VERY BAD DRIVER/HUMAN BEING!!

Happy Trafalgar Day! On this day in 1805 the greatest naval battle of the age of sail took place off the coast of Spain. #Nelson #RoyalNavy #FrenchNavy #SpanishNavy

When you were in high school and you didn't do well in history or English class it's not because the class was too WOKE or your female teachers were afraid of your MASCULINE ASSERTIVENESS, it's because you were fucking dumb. You were dumb then and you're dumb now.

"I'm BLACKPILLED on POLITICS" makes it sound like a position of cynical disenchantment, a philosophical stance that rejects any possibility of a functional state. No, wrong. You're fucking dumb. You're a dumb guy who made a dumb choice and now you're too embarrassed to admit it.

dig the hole, my man

A huge percentage of North Americans who have an identity hating cyclists and bike lanes are hypocritical and selfish bullies, and over time many of them reveal this sad truth through their views on a staggering variety of subjects.

33 years ago today, Homer Simpson ate 64 slices of American cheese in one sitting. #TheSimpsons episode “Rosebud” first aired October 21, 1993.

I used to routinely see MTA buses backed up on my old block because one or two drivers forgot to move their cars back after illegally double parking during sweeping.

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

The man who asked the question is a literal white nationalist operative who is suggesting El-Sayed is a terrorist and these fucking twerps are like “He came off a little smug”

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

unfortunately there was just no way to know that he would be like this
