On this day in 1987, INXS released 'Kick'. Packed with hits like “Need You Tonight,” “New Sensation,” and “Never Tear Us Apart,” it became their biggest album and still sounds killer.

“And then it came, the realization that—at least in my mind—79 years old was so young for a famous rich white woman in America like Diane Keaton and that 78 years old was practically a miracle for a black trans woman like Miss Major.”

I’m awake right now because I dreamed Cory Booker confronted me on the street for saying mean things about him on the internet and I cursed him out so bad I woke myself up. Like, I was actually talking in my sleep. 😅

It’s your 75th anniversary, Charlie Brown! 💛
🎉 Today marks the official 75th anniversary of Peanuts! On October 2, 1950, the first Peanuts comic strip, shown here, was published in seven newspapers nationwide. Charles M. Schulz was 27 years old.
"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours.
'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"
On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”
A quick note about money and comedy and power.

Bari Weiss, whose publication is being acquired by Paramount in a $150 million deal, is set to be named editor-in-chief of CBS News.
In an unusual arrangement, Weiss will report directly to Paramount CEO David Ellison, and not to CBS News’ Pres Tom Cibrowski or to head of TV George Cheeks.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
Of interest to maybe just me and @tvmojoe.bsky.social, but Nielsen is now putting out ratings reports that aren’t segregated by daypart (prime, daytime, late nite) or cable/broadcast/live streaming. So you can see Kimmel’s return was No. 17 on all of TV last week. It’s gold for us ratings dorks.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
