EVIDENCE from this week's episode: Litigant Andy has appeared in front of @hodgman.bsky.social's court before, also with a fiancΓ©-related dispute. But unlike his dispute with @monetxchange.bsky.social, this one involved jet skis

Let's play EITHER/OR! Would you rather: have Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social watch you from your ceiling as you slept, or 100 @hodgman.bsky.social follow you where ever you go? Let us know YOUR answer, and then drop your OWN EITHER/ORs in the replies - we'll answer them on stage during NIGHT COURT!

It would be nice to see you at the Bell House next Friday and Saturday, if you're not seeing Todd Glass at Joe's Pub. If you *are* seeing Todd Glass, I get it.

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

I told my smart speaker to play WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by the Doobie Bros for a particular reason. And now she’s just playing yacht rock songs and my kitchen sounds like β€œERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ADS: GREATEST HITS”

Nation’s weird stepfather announces at dinner that no one appreciates his hard work, then sulks off to the guest room he claimed as his β€œden” to watch cable news all night while angrily mashing buttons on his phone.

all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; and, by their soft, suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery silence, not a solitude: on such a silent night This is a SECRET SOCIETY

Sometimes I write you a letter, and today it is about Moby Dick, the abyss, and a teen age mariachi band. Plus a mouse riding a lobster. open.substack.com/pub/hodgman/...
