The results of the NYC mayoral election are frankly Cuomophobic.

Handin' out pocket-sized Constitutions to trick or treaters this year. Go get a Snickers bar next door, Waldo. Uncle George is hooking you up with the Separation of Powers and whatnot.

most of the last decade of my career was a frantic effort to warn as many people as possible about the dangers i saw coming in the near future

now that all the stuff i saw coming is here, i dunno what to do other than maybe start a Warhammer 40k podcast

Only if you never stop writing must-read biographies...

Sadly, much of THE JIM HENSON HOUR remains (officially) unavailable, but this production number has stuck with me, decades later, as has the message embedded within it...

“My friends can take me home…”

If there’s any topic that’s going to get me misty-eyed and emotional, it’s The Muppets...

From the 1986 Academy Awards, an unusual high profile pairing of Kermit & Scooter. I assume Frank Oz was deep into LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS production, giving Richard Hunt an opportunity to shine here. The envelope business is the Muppets once again forging comedy from perceived limitations.

this is an absolutely wild piece by will

...at some point around the middle they came for John Bolton, and I did not speak out, because it kinda seemed like that dude belongs in prison.

Here’s a Halloween treat from 1963, featuring Rowlf on THE JIMMY DEAN SHOW. Rowlf was Jim Henson’s first breakout character on a national scale, & it’s a joy to see how much fun Jimmy Dean seemed to always have in any of their interactions - most often just downright tickled…

He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE. A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

What if yesterday WAS the rapture but no one is good

Kash Patel’s DOJ Scrubbed Study Showing Right-Wing Violent Attacks Outpace All Other Extremism As MAGA world rages about left-wing violence, the government appears to have removed a research paper showing contrary evidence.

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”

The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

Wow talk
About white washing

I’m expecting some kind of Onion headline like “Conservatives who say empathy should be stamped out are appalled by lack of empathy shown them.”

I'm hearing the FBI is looking for a man in Utah with a rifle, so they must have some really clear footage helping them narrow it down

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Donald Trump is a Sick Fuck You’ve all seen the picture, I’m sure.

There’s a certain kind of myopia that great wealth gives people a sense that nobody else matters. Other people are important insomuch as they are useful. Their well-being is of as much interest to them as that of the cow whose flesh they ate at dinner. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Americans Lose Faith That Hard Work Leads to Economic Gains, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds Trump is contending with a disconnect between the nation’s sour outlook and traditional measures showing a robust economy.

Exclusive: America is becoming a nation of economic pessimists.

He Plagiarized and Promoted Falsehoods. The White House Embraces Him.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC.

@kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up.

From this to enshittification in 50 years. I'm glad that duck didn't live to see our downhill run.

TODAY! Filmmaker and comedian John Ungaro stops by the show to talk about his new baseball-themed horror movie, 'Basher'! We also sample a VERY mid 3D Energy Drink and chat about John's hometown of Wilmington, MA. Toto's "Hold the Line" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Listen now. Lynx-N-Reply

BOYCOTT THE WORLD CUP AND THE 2028 SUMMER OLYMPICS!

Yes, I said it.

To the person in the group who got bitten by the zombie and is hiding it: just go off somewhere by yourself man.
Things are very stressful and it's doubtful they're going to come up with a cure for zombieism in the next 20 minutes

The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’

But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have.

We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza.

Shameful.

Oh, I promise, it's not about child safety.
