Anyway, wishing Campbell the best on this tough journey. We are so lucky to have him.

I am not particularly a member of the Campbell cult, and I was a little worried I'd mess up. What I found was that Bruce Campbell is about the most generous, pleasant, funny, delightful, charming human who exists on earth. There could be no messing up an interview with him.

When Hodgman came on The Sound of Young America the first time - 20 years ago - he immediately started sending his friends to me. Because he's that kind of guy. And Bruce Campbell was one of the first. Hodgman had been his literary agent, a job he got by writing Campbell a cold letter.

What a genuinely lovely man he is.

Man remember when they came back and made that good ass album

I’m a REAL sensitive dude. But I really try and keep this shit in mind, even when it’s hard. And it really helps to be grateful when someone in a difficult circumstance gives you grace rather than resentful when someone doesn’t have it to give.

Any “reasonableness” you get in that context is a gift of extraordinary generosity from someone who has to fight to breathe every day of their fucking life.

Trans people squad up and come hard at anyone who fucks with them online because it is not an exchange of ideas for them, it is their actual human lives and deepest identity and physical safety and right to citizenship.

💯. Influencer shit is the WORST. And the structures just bake it into the creator economy. It’s so hard.

Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdogs

Getting criticized sucks and you might not even be all wrong but complain to your partner or your dog and then take some perspective. Anyway I’m off track here but my point is JB up JS down, Bill Maher sucks, etc.

Also don’t come for me I’m fragile af

“Unreasonable” criticism will come for anyone on any issue on the internet. It probably comes more frequently from the highly-traumatized and more-likely-neurodivergent corners. But the move is: evaluate why things matter so much and provoke strong reaction. Not pretend you’re in the victim club.

Anyway, some of these fragile dudes make a mistake, get criticized by someone and criticism victim becomes their whole personality. Jamelle is not that dude. To an extraordinary and creditable extent.

These guys desperately want to have anyone who a trans person has ever gotten mad at join their “the most important thing in the world is how unfair it is that a trans person was mad at us” squad. And actually some people are grownups? Who can distinguish individuals within larger groups?

Someone plz let Singal know that @jamellebouie.net is not on his team

Let's play EITHER/OR! Would you rather: have Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social watch you from your ceiling as you slept, or 100 @hodgman.bsky.social follow you where ever you go? Let us know YOUR answer, and then drop your OWN EITHER/ORs in the replies - we'll answer them on stage during NIGHT COURT!

Skin, if I’m reading this right

Holy shit

Looking at these rundowns for Judge John Hodgman in Brooklyn. These are two jam-packed shows with all kinds of madness. So many things we haven’t done before. I hope you come. Friday and Saturday at the Bell House.

What is the NEW SETTLED LAW on @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social? Prepping something for our Brooklyn shows and realized we haven’t updated the list in like five plus years! What universal rules have been made in the time since?

My mom is from DC, but Martha from Fredericksburg, which is basically where exurban DC suddenly becomes the semi-rural South. There are people everywhere who value the dignity of all life, and everywhere there are Christians who are upholding the values of Christ. I’m very grateful. 🥹

My Aunt Martha in Virginia, who’s a retired firefighter and EMT, sends me little videos of pastors talking about how they love trans kids and it just means so much to me ❤️‍🩹🏳️‍⚧️❤️‍🩹.

Sometimes I wonder why they make films without Richard Kind

Artie: I've gotta say something that's gonna sound trite but it's also truth. As soon as you start liking yourself, you won't care what other people think.
Larry: Hey, then I'm totally fucked.

I guess I just feel pretty strongly that the lives of people who live in other countries are also very important

IT ISN’T BECAUSE IT IS SO COLD IT IS BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE SLUSHY RAIN THE WHOLE TIME WHICH IS THE WORST NYC WEATHER BY FAR

Yeah no more delightful New York weather than “raining on last week’s blizzard.”

I complained about it being 88 in LA and I think I monkey pawed my Nee York trip
