BBC headline: Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession Sub headline: The former Duke of York is eighth in line to the throne meaning he remains eligible to be King. 4 hours ago

And, uh, what happens if all seven die after he’s convicted but before he’s officially removed from the line of succession? Do they have to release him from jail to be king?

Asking for a screenwriter

Turns out the secret ingredient to making democracy stick is…

…simply making it more lucrative to be a former president than a current one

They…can’t handle the truth

Of course this will get but a tiny fraction of the original coverage.

Our first P-Day ep was also our first real break in format. Instead of covering a single fictional potus, we went through 45 years of SNL history to create a SWEET 16 TOURNAMENT BRACKET to find the best presidential impersonator in the show's history.... and then Lorne hired James Austin Johnson

Happy Presidents Day to all who celebrate! No new episode today, as we solemnly observe this most sacred of days (praying, fasting, atoning, etc.)

But might we suggest some gems from our catalog?

New sport, or someone in Italy didn’t get their venue ready in time?

look, all I’m saying is that it’d be a little more interesting to watch the Olympics if the losers weren’t allowed back into their home countries

Side-by-side photographs of the Los Angeles skyline. On the left, a smoggy haze blocks the buildings in the 1980s; on the right, clear skies after a winter storm in 2015. As Smog Thins in L.A., Dramatic Evidence of Kids' Healthier Lungs New study shows Los Angeles-area kids have fewer breathing problems now than they did in the 1990s.

Government did this, not “the free market” or “unregulated business.”

Happy Presidents Day!

could be worse

the score could be 6-7

my new pet theory:

there used to be a natural divide between old money and new money, and things started getting really, really bad when they realized they were on the same side

yes it's 1:28am where I am and I'm still up and can't fall asleep why do you ask

UK's Mirror newspaper headline (in the Football section): READING KITMAN HIT WITH SIX-MATCH BAN FOR VILE HOMOPHOBIC ABUSE OF REFEREE. And the sub-headline reads: Richard Bone, Reading's assistant kit manager, admitted the homophobic abuse of referee Matt Corlett during a 2-0 defeat by Huddersfield in League One in August

I'm sorry, but if your last name is Bone, there are certain first names you just gotta leave off the baby naming list

And the best news… the Brad Pitt movie is still there!

Poster for a 2026 Netflix original movie called WAR MACHINE with Alan Ritson of REACHER dressed in military fatigues in front of a shadowy killer robot mech thing. It’s very dark and serious. Shades of Predator meets Transformers.

A poster for the 2017 Netflix original movie called WAR MACHINE featuring Brad Pitt in a military uniform holding an alcoholic beverage, surrounded by other soldiers looking perplexed. Very light and frothy. Like THE HANGOVER meets STRIPES, maybe? I dunno. Never saw the movie. Did anyone? Is that why Netflix is remaking it with non-Tom Cruise Reacher?

Is Netflix’s 2026 movie WAR MACHINE a remake of Netflix’s 2017 movie WAR MACHINE?

He's not in Project Hail Mary, but the Project Hail Mary Lego set should also include Benny from the Lego Movie because, well, you know...

NY Times headline: CRYPTO TAKES A DEEP SLIDE DESPITE TRUMP'S SUPPORT, with a subheader: "The price of Bitcoin is now lower than when President Trump was elected in 2024, raising concerns of a new "crypto winter" in the industry.

I'm genuinely curious about this -- does anyone have any data that links the price of crypto to headline-making bitcoin ransoms? Like, does reading about how kidnappers and hospital hackers deal exclusively in BTC make crypto bros want to buy more? or sell more? or take a shower at least?

Anyone else keep a note in their notes app that’s just the bathroom codes of all the coffee shops they frequent?

Uh-oh, just got an email about changes to Starbucks reward program. Considering Sbux is desperate to turn their financials around, its either—

A) actually changing for the better, to better reward loyal customers and encourage more visits

Or

B) who are we kidding, it’s definitely not that

What happens when Disney hires the director of THE SANDLOT to make a Sinbad comedy in 1996? You get a podcast ep in 2026 where the (alleged) crimes of the cast derail the discussion! Come for our take on a fake potus in a kids movie, stay to find out which actor is in the latest Epstein file dump!

Belichick snubbed again

Nothing screams "I'm an independent-minded free-thinker!" than rigidly adhering to an arbitrary lifestyle schedule dictated by strangers over the internet

(Not to mention, you know, all the other stuff going on right now, but I just assumed a Post-related pub would be ignoring that stuff anyway)

Cover story of new California Post (in same style and design as NY Post). The headline is OSCARS WILD and the subhead is “Shocking truth behind director Safdie brothers’ mystery split”

A SoCal newsstand with issues of the California Post in front of every other publication

I see the new California Post is making a full court press at local newsstands, and I guess it makes sense to appeal to a Cali audience with some awards drama… but this is the page 1 “scandal” they’re hoping to move papers with? Of all the “splits” in Hollywood?

You’re right! I misread the emphasis, so instead I’ll just offer AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL, TEEN TITANS GO, HAMSTER AND GRETAL, BIG CITY GREENS, GHOST AND MOLLY MCGEE (RIP), and KIFF as my own rebuttal exhibits

Not only is it a gross generalization, but if you’re using The Simpsons as an example of the kind of “kids” show they don’t make anymore… you need a better example, b/c it never was a “kids” show! (Also: they’re still making it!)

I take a seat and then use the shop’s mobile app to order (which I always do anyway, because I like to get add-ons that are too silly ask for out loud)
