I'm just Jeff, your friend who cares

My city's "I Voted" stickers continue to be better than anyone else's city's "I Voted" stickers.

One of those really weird things that Republicans are obsessed with is whether or not Richard Blumenthal ever said he served in Vietnam back in 2010. Just cannot let go of it for some reason!

(Not a complaint! I think they're two earnest and theatrical dudes who gel perfectly together, and any haters are just too cool for school)

The first new @themountaingoats.bsky.social single was a toe in the water on how having Lin-Manuel Miranda singing on the record would be recieved, before the second single really lets you have it with both barrels.

The Newsroom (2012-2014) but with a head injury.

Which, if you watched any of The Newsroom, is saying something.

Mix that shit with some dry roasted peanuts, you got an autumnal party in a bowl going!

Protect John Dickerson, Anthony Mason, and CBS Sunday Morning at all costs.

Two things:

(1) You should only get to pull this shit once.

(2) Why does Andy Beshear insist on not running for this seat? I know he wants to run for president in 2028, but ... come on. Pretend like you don't for a little bit? Take one for the team?

Certainly the last one that was iconic/entered the pop cultural lexicon, anyway.

I liked Midnights quite a bit as a whole, precisely because you did see some weirdness poking through.

Also, that entire thread is full of gems, and a reminder that the world of standup is SO much bigger than the chuds in Austin sucking up all the attention right now. Always has been! Dig in and believe in laughter again.

Probably the most genius comic mind going right now. I had the pleasure of being one of her one-on-one rehearsals before a gig years ago, and it will probably never get any better than that for me, comedy-wise.

Listen to Drew! Watch @eliyudin.com's special! I daresay it's a modern classic.

I'll add to this that if she had a smidgen more self-awareness, she could be compelling. From the title I thought this new one was going to be about the absolutely insane experience of the Eras Tour, of being this constantly performing cultural object and phenomenon. But it's ... about Travis Kelce?

Parenting a newborn on the cusp of 40: your spouse is furious with you because you won't stop giggling and thinking of Mr. Show sketches while she's trying to get the baby down to sleep.

...and yes, of course this all started because I referred to the breast pump as "the hated milk machine".

AI is evil, but I genuinely do want to will an image of "Mamdani leads all four grandmas at a wedding in the Cupid Shuffle" into existence.

Every cable news discussion of Mamdani treats him like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and then cuts to an image of a man who looks like he was designed in a lab to lead all four grandmas at a wedding in the Cupid Shuffle

God, it's so refreshing to see someone addressing housing from the most urgent needs at the bottom as opposed to just "build, build, build to bring housing costs down!"

I feel like Elder Millennials got the sweetest deal. Got to absorb all the culture of our predecessors without having to actually live in the culture that produced it, and grew up in an era that was a little more empathetic and taught us to give a shit.

Then again, we also got Harry Potter. So!

Lord, they even use the derogatory "Democrat".

Such small, petty people, and lording over decent folks just trying to do their jobs and make a difference. Just exhausting.

bad cartoon drawing of a very skinny 'white sheet' style ghost with a point at the top and a little ghost frill at the bottom. No face or anything. It casts a small shadow to let you know it's floating. Happy prime time spooky time, gang

here's the ghost of a toothpick

Thanks to your (and apparently all of Capitol Hill's) advocacy, Celsius has been my drink of choice for staying awake during overnight feeds with my second kid.

condolences, man! sucks to hear.

Lorne Michaels is an admittedly complicated figure in American comedy, but damned if it doesn't feel like he poured his most gutless, sycophantic, fame and lifestyle chasing impulses into the empty vessel that is Jimmy Fallon.

It really is! His smile just radiates "handsome young man" for whatever reason. Your moms and aunts (heck, your dads and uncles) are powerless to resist!

One of life's simple pleasures is a band you enjoyed a few years ago and kind of forgot about re-emerging with a new song that's kind of a banger.

(and yes, it's funny that this particular band has "remember" in its name)

Oh, definitely billed at a rate of like $750 a croissant.

Last conference I went to was actually decent - they had these oversized shot glasses of overnight oats with little dried fruit and nuts on top. Really hit the spot!

🎶Youuu, doing those ships you dooo... asthetically I don't like the things you're doing, like you always doooo🎵

Does anyone know what kind of breakfast spread they had for the military brass this morning before this bullshit meeting?

Did they at least get some decent pastries and coffee before having to listen to that chump bray at them at 8:15?

David Byrne officially adopting Paramore's "Hard Times" as part of his repertoire rules so hard.
