In the same 24 hours, Steven Miller admits that Trump is a dictator while Pam Bondi refuses to say Trump didn’t rape children. This administration has RANGE. Evil range, but still range.

On top of everything else, Steven Miller is bad at improv.

We were so close.

A thing that One Battle After Another gets VERY right is that macho conservative white supremacists are actually fucking weirdos. It has always been that way. They are so desperate to seem cool, powerful, and in control but are ultimately fucking weirdos.

Tis a fine MTV special, but sure tis no movie, English.

Getting AMC to concede to no trailers, no xenon bulbs, not even Nicole Kidman is Taylor Swift’s greatest flex ever.

Thanks. I don’t have an account there anymore, so I appreciate the tip.

Want kick-ass female-fueled indie grunge? Check out Gully Boys’ debut album over on @bandcamp.com. They’ve been great for years and deserve your support.

I miss when Dave Chappelle ran away from money.

I know it's hardly a shock that there are shitheads on Twitter, but one of these shitheads is apparently impersonating me. If you are ever contacted by X's @brendanhay_, please report them. They are not me. They are full of shit.

Dear assholes who voted for Trump and said this shit would never happen, I'd tell you I told you so if I was still talking to you. newrepublic.com/post/201249/...

If Pete Hegseth sounds smart to you, this is a friendly reminder that your kid’s birthday was two weeks ago.

Is warsplaining a thing? Because I think Hegseth is warsplaining to Generals.

Dude talking about looking badass when he just hit himself in the nuts with a skateboard on television YESTERDAY.

Okay.

Something nice about seeing filmmakers with the power to get something made and released wide using the opportunity to say fuck white supremacists.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Few things bring me more joy than a well deployed key change.

Half my writers room saw One Battle After Another tonight. Half have tickets to see it tomorrow. Me seeing it by Monday or fucking up the entire room dynamic is now my most pressing deadline.

Just accidentally typed "Brendamn" and I think I found my new name.

Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now.

The classic “Do you see a young woman or an old woman” optical illusion drawing, and somehow Laura Loomer looks like both at once.

Amazing drawing of Laura Loomer.

He did breakthrough work in that field of science for decades!
