My smart TV recommended I watch The Celebrity Apprentice, and it did make me wonder if people still watch that shit, either because they still love the guy so much or whatever else

also, it's a genuine thrill to watch Crow T. Robot fire off quips and think to yourself "there's my longtime social media friend Bill Corbett, getting to be Crow again" and stifle a single tear

I wasn't a big-time contributor, I mainly wrote short essays for the Stypod (one song, whatever you want, three paragraphs) while that was an ongoing concern, but I'm still happy I got a chance to write anywhere. I wonder how they hold up now. I'm not going to look lol

It's too bad the real brain-fried Russiagate partisans are so incredibly annoying, because I don't and have never thought the underlying idea of Russia's government wanting to use Trump for their own ends was entirely out of bounds. I just didn't want to sound like, well, y'know

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

Random Mantzoukas moment: he appeared on improv4humans with his pals Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, and at one point Phish came up and he named three of the four members immediately, and Matt Besser chimed in with "don't forget Page", which got him to laugh

I live in relative comfort in a very blue state, so my pleas for the Dems to be better might well fall on deaf ears. All I’ll say is the less fortunate on here tend to say the same thing, and that’s “with friends like these, who needs enemies”. All right, well, see you all later

You remember the last time the Dems held all the levers of power? Roe was killed, nobody was punished for planning J6, any economic headway has already been rolled back, and the guy we supposedly punished in 2020 returned to power all the same. We basically let it all happen again, but worse
