“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Yeah, I mean… I came here to escape those remaining idiots. Kind of defeats the purpose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seated on a stage, against a black backdrop, from left to right: Mark Robinson (wearing a brown jacket over a black hoodie and holding a mic), me (wearing a purple shirt and holding a mic), @jonwurster.bsky.social (wearing a black wig, black shades, a black demin jacket with a KISS patch, and a long mauve scarf) speaking into a mic while facing the emcee, who is a brown squirrel puppet about a foot tall standing on top of a podium.

Happy 10th anniversary of the night I was interviewed by a talking squirrel puppet alongside Mark Robinson from Unrest and a guy who claimed he was "Gene Simmons from the rock brand KISS."

Listen to the wise Mr. @michaelazerrad.bsky.social. Jenn is a real one, and her new Flock of Dimes LP (on @subpop.bsky.social) is phenomenal. I caught her with her current FoD backing band last night in Somerville, MA, and the sold-out show was deeply moving. Not to be missed.

Oh no. What a legend. All living X-Men fans have been affected by his X-Factor run in some way, whether by reading the books themselves or through osmosis, via their impact on the universe at large.

“At least I’m not retiring anytime soon” is certainly a thought I’ve never had before. But here we are.

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty

they are also really, really stupid

I've seen Ratboys play six unreleased songs from their upcoming new album over three shows the past few months, and even if all the other songs suck it'll be on lots of end of year lists. Five reposts (modest goal, but would be five more than 99% of my posts get 🫠) and I'll post a thread of them.

Yeah, the couple they played in Boston on Monday were excellent. Really looking forward to release date details.

Well done, @keating.house.gov

A true ally doesn’t just watch—they stand up.

I’ve accidentally misgendered someone at my daughter’s school before. It happens. The moment I realized, I apologized and made sure not to do it again.

Rep Keith Self did this on purpose. He meant to be hurtful.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:
