"'What punishments of God are not gifts?' Colbert knocked his knuckles on the table. 'What punishments of God are not gifts?' he said again. His eyes were filled with tears." I know preaching when I hear it described! Preach, Stephen!

HBO should fire Bill Maher and give his time slot to Stephen Colbert.

CBS cancels Stephen Colbert’s show days after Trump settlement criticism The late-night host had scoffed at a decision by CBS’s parent company to pay the U.S. president $16 million over a disputed interview.

Paramount settled Trump's frivolous lawsuit against 60 Minutes. Stephen Colbert rightfully spoke out about it. Now he's getting fired.

Reminder that Paramount needs approval from the FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.

Are you kidding me about canceling #StephenColbert? Cancelling my Paramount membership.

@benstiller.redhour.com There’s never been a character as latently angry and neurotically compassionate as Chas Tennebaum. Except Mr. Furious. F&cking love these guys.

Other Mommy - something that will fill the void, something that won’t leave until it occupies your child’s heart in the same way your child lives in yours.
Terrifying. My 2 cents.

That relentless or silence is parenthood. Distracting yourself from it, distancing yourself or wishing it was different creates its own monster.

They’re responsible for her now - they don’t get to be the mommy who is going to be a good mommy when Bella’s older because you don’t get that choice. You’re a mommy now and then and allllll the time in-between.

You’re exactly never sure you’re doing the right thing and at times you wish you had your old pre-kids life back - but it’s gone. Bella’s parents largely still think they’re in that world, but they aren’t. They let Bella into their hearts.

Parenting is basically about dedication. You’re giving over your selfhood to something else - something you brought into the world. Which is at times wonderful but is never easy. Like I don’t know any parents that are like ‘oh yeah, we totally have this shit DOWN.’

Just listened to @thisishorror.bsky.social fantastic interview with @joshmalerman.bsky.social for #incidentsaroundthehouse and I have a guess on why he couldn’t listen to any music while writing it. Silence gives you no reprieve and can be pretty relentless - not entirely unlike…parenting.

Thank you :) - if you look closely there’s a black hare hiding out in the turret…right next to the hotly contested gold rimmed dishes!!

Finished my miniature of the library from ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ - the spiral staircase is wonky…not exactly by design. It feels like a set piece which makes me think it would be a great play to revive…also Easter eggs for @elizabethhand.bsky.social if you look close…! #hauntingofhillhouse

Can RFK Jr. Really Take Away ADHD Medications? — Rolling Stone The Trump Administration is calling for a report “assess[ing] the prevalence of and threat” of several drugs, including stimulants like Adderall

If RFK JR had his way, I’d be in a “re-education” camp for my legal prescription to #adderall. But please, - keep ignoring spread of the #BirdFlu, you asshat.

Today I finally got to use “I take your question” in an actual meeting and it was totally worth the wait. #Mueller #DeepCut

One of the best things about #Serverance is they give you an episode that includes a semi-hostile mythical banshee maiden crone, and immediately you’re like oh yeah, I work with her. That is totally Linda from Accounts Payable. #ORTBO

Milcheck’s disappointment in MDR just radiated from him. Marshmallows are for TEAM PLAYERS.

You had me at wild theory.

Still not too sure about O & D. #Severance

I don’t know if there’s anything or one I love on this planet like my Dyson vacuum.

live feeds from the turret leaked! #TheTraitorsUS

I screamed at my tv starting at round table all the way to the turret.

Would I buy this for my cat? Yes. Albeit it would be the last purchase I would make for her before she ended my time on this earth. Would it be worth it? Probably so.

The doctor gave my child one vaccination too many and now she can move alphabet blocks with her mind

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers! #booksky 1/20

Suddenly my feed is all about books and I’m wondering if I’m getting messed with #booksky

So there’s Reddit actually called “Leftist Preppers” and not going to lie to you I was all well ok then

Seriously. NYPD’s PR department needs to gracefully moonwalk out of the room because they are getting it handed to them

Way to make him more of a folk hero, NYPD.

F all this I’m buying the bookstore
