There's A New Comedy Sheriff In Town If you're a comic, Marc Maron needs to know if you've been in the vicinity of Donald Trump.

My thoughts on Marc Maron’s soon to be legendary podcast run in the wake of his latest HBO comedy special, Panicked. He’s cleaning out stand-up comedy’s house. And he started with Trumpmedian Theo Von. open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

The Pirates are good at one thing: shooting themselves in the foot. They never miss. The Clemente thing was overblown but still an unforced error. The bricks is a disaster. No excuses for stupidity. And bringing back Cherington and Shelton, gets you like 600 people for a Paul Skenes home game.

This is the bleakest sports in Pittsburgh have been since the late 80s, and yet, Mario was in town and you knew it had to get better. And Pitt basketball was good. ... Now ... yikes. Sid can see the end, and Paul Skenes makes me sick about Bob Nutting owning the Pirates. Steelers stuck. Pitt ugh.

The incoming administration has nominated a gang of sexual predators, vindictive psychopaths and utter incompetents to be the presidential cabinet and the Washington Post has gone full-court-press on the Hunter Biden pardon.

Our political media is deeply, deeply broken.
