Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

Stephen Colbert replies to Trump’s post on Truth Social:

“How dare you sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go fuck yourself.”

this is why layout matters

LMAOBTAID (laughing my ass off because the alternative is despair)

grief is an endless tunnel where everyone must find their own way through without a light. if any of us are lucky, we will hopefully find others within that tunnel and somehow we will help each other pass through that abyss. none of us knows where we are headed, but at least we aren’t going alone.

I’m cynical and suspicious of uses of fame, but as a lone witness, I can personally testify Stephen Colbert is a rare one in this world who would literally call a stranger in a hospital just to make them laugh if it helps. I hope the numbnuts who canceled his show never know such kindness.

MAY EVERY DAY BE ANOTHER WONDERFUL SECRET

I’ve been in the queue for 30+ minutes now. Only 7,000 people ahead of me!

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

Tsk, tsk.

You’re not kidding!

He needs that ever-shortening window between alarms.

I now manage to sleep through them 80% of the time, although I hear every one if I’m already having a rough night. And you’re right, I *could* be kind and show him how to set for weekdays. I’ll consider it.

Aren’t you a divorce attorney? You should know how dangerous this practice is in a relationship!

It’s the four-minute segments by the end that really get me.

iPhone alarms set for 5:46 am, 5:55 am, 6:03 am, 6:07 am, and 6:11 am. God help us all.

My husband sets all of these alarms every weekday. Help.

Watch this to the end.
