Robert F Kennedy Jr is saddened about the gunman who was killed while firing on the CDC in Atlanta, saying he would have been a good candidate for the federal vaccine panel.

When Scott Jennings sits on a panel with someone who shuts down his straw men and false dichotomies, he pouts like a kid who’s had his fart machine taken away

When nobody else is in the Oval, the president gets to unwrap this stuff and eat the chocolate.

Trump really wants you to stop thinking about Jeffrey Epstein. Please instead think about tariff-driven price increases and the masked government agents abducting people off the street.

Why is Scott Jennings on this show? If they just want someone to regurgitate the administration’s official nonsensical talking points they could just program a Teddy Ruxpin to recite Karoline Leavitt’s briefings.

Summertime is Jonathan season; I don’t make the rules

Trump has removed information about his impeachments from a museum, ended the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and fired the labor statistics head for reporting numbers. So the country's war on facts is going great.

Respect and vibes to the iconic Billy Joel who’s weathering his health crisis with robust humility. But we can all agree the real victim here is my novel where the protagonist accidentally bashes Billy Joel’s head — which nobody was going to publish, but now nobody is really ever going to publish.

Okay, what blabbermouth told the president that Obama was against human extinction so that Trump’s EPA would do the opposite?

“This was treason,” Trump says of Obama’s alleged scheme. “This was every word you can think of.”

Is it bullshit? Bullshit is a word I can think of.

Honored to have my play THE COLLECTION get selected as a finalist for the Susan J. Westfall Award for Short Playwriting from City Theatre — especially alongside such noted badasses as Jill Twiss and David MacGregor.

#tbt Few more samples from back when the Toledo Public Library was silly enough to let me draw funny pictures for their blog

Are the people who think Russia changed votes in the 2016 election in the room with us right now, Scott Jennings?

I remember the year the show won a bunch of Emmys and they had to keep playing snippet of the theme as the winners took the stage and it was such a bracing disconnect from all the other theme snippets

"Cancelling Colbert was a carefully calibrated bottom-line business decision," promise executives in an industry whose previous business decisions include cancelling Star Trek, putting Leno on at 10pm, and greenlighting a Geico caveman show.

Say, Trump, I hear you like 'em young.
What was the plane before Air Force One?
The list on Pam's desk must've gotten stolen
But suspicions, like your ankles, are getting all swollen

Trump’s approval ratings for his immigration and economic policies have been plummeting. Approval ratings for the rest of his policies have not been plummeting because, well I mean, mathematically how could they?

Two Kryptonian thumbs up for SUPERMAN. It’s a giddy theme-park ride, it’s a radical empathy manifesto, it’s a floor wax AND a dessert topping

Something doesn’t have to dispense a gag every four seconds to still be fundamentally, structurally comic. Never mind that The Bear is also often just f’ing funny.

Characters who try and fail and try again to rise above their limitations and circumstances to achieve dreams that feel outsized for their capacities? Whose inchoate animosities rub up against one another in the little space they’re forced by mutual goals to share? GILLIGAN!!!

Getting locked, on your big night, in the freezer you kept neglecting to fix? It’s something that might happen to Frasier. The climax of “Fishes” was like a big-canvas version of the topper that ends a Matt Foley sketch. (Neither of these comparisons is a criticism.)

I think I feel about The Bear the way I did about Succession: the vibe registers as dramatic because the stakes for the characters are so high, but the bones of the show are fundamentally comic to me.

To be honest, in the category of Muppets I Expected to Have a Toxic Online Meltdown, Elmo wasn’t even in my top five.

I’ve quoted Hamilton often enough that I feel it’s only appropriate that this time it has quoted me

Ain’t it kinda nice seeing mud on the wheels? Happy opening to Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance who’s doing our musical MAY WE ALL this weekend. Meet y’all at the Chicken Shed.

The current presidential administration is trying to end birthright citizenship, but they’re extremely open to the idea of birthwhite citizenship.

Pretty bold of Elon Musk to determine that there weren’t enough antisemites in the world already so he’d better go ahead and build a synthetic one
