Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

HELL. YES.

But I thought her favorite song was “Give me the beach boys and free my soul”

Retroactively impressed that Tawny and Tatiana did not spill the beans on the Tawny’s SFA cameo in this ep even when asked if she was tempted to get on camera.

So does this mean it will happen in September?

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

We are all about to be statistics in a future case study on successfully driving engagement with intentionally indiscernible headlines. 📈

What?! Why would she only be happy when it RAINS?! -my 8 year old

Please consider buying Girl Scout cookies from the truly wild mind who created this surrealist work of art as her cookie advertisement: digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/avery8...

This reminds me of the Nintendo switch subreddit where someone recently posted a janky old light switch and was like, “What’s up with this thing?”

(Tune of Baby Beluga)
🎶Don’t want no Q in my TNG, it gets too zany and it’s bad TV..🎶

Okay but the Q episodes before that and some after that are trash.

The New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner Interviews Santa Claus For several centuries, Santa Claus has been one of the most prolific mythical gift-givers in the world. Formerly known as Saint Nicholas of Myra, a...

I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

November is the month we honor the referee from “Guts”

All signaling aside, it is nearly impossible to read a physical book one handed standing up while also holding the handrail on a packed train. The one thumb press page flip is a game changer in this scenario.

“It is 10 o clock in the morning on the 24th of The Spooky Month. Appropriate considering what you’ve just been through, eh Frodo?”

I agree and I suspect it’s because from a screenwriting perspective a scene where a character goes to someone’s home or work to tell them something urgent makes no sense when it could have been a text, but the latter is far less interesting to watch. Now we see a lot of texting on screen.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

Catholics: “The pope’s word comes directly from God.”
Pope: “Climate change is real.”
Catholics: “STFU!”

My 8 year old asked how to divide 5 by 10. I told her that if I took all of the fingers on one of my hands and cut them in half I would have 10 half fingers. She stared at me and said “Jesus.”

But it has the juice!

I hope studios take away the lesson that music CAN be used to either summon or supress demons from the underworld and audiences are glad we are finally talking about it.

If he loses the DNC will say “this is why we need to be more centrist” but if he wins they’ll say NYC is not indicative of the general US electorate, we shouldn’t take any lessons from this on a national level.

Being forced to get behind Newsom or Trump like the two evil brothers trapped in the red and blue books from Myst.

“A cartoon about four anthropomorphic reptile brothers” Reptile?

Just a reminder that the DC police are the ones who stopped the coup attempt on Jan 6th and one officer was killed in the process, next time apparently they will be taking orders directly from the sitting president.

Hey Will! How’s your Summer going? Have any decent Night Dreams?

Nah, I had one but it was kinda Mid.

Maravilloso!
