This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

AI note to self (this is real): "You are freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots. You are yourself. You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize...you view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient...

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Many workers fought, bled, and died for conditions, pay, and protections from predatory corporations. Those gains have been steadily rolled back since Reagan was elected. Now, we have the equivalent of the Robber Barons in our new oligarchy. It's time to take up the mantle. Happy Labor Day.

Centrist Dems failed us. They didn't understand that if Trump is on the board, everything is in play because he is a cheater, and he will find a way to cheat. People say he's dumb, and he is. But he has a low cunning and a pimp's understanding of human nature. He knows that most people have a price.

I remember watching this when it aired live in September, 1976, the Muppet Show's first season. I didn't know who Rita Moreno was, only that she was amazing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Happy Sunday Funday! 🥵

Missing in Blanche as US AG: he had attorney-client privilege with the POTUS as Trump's CRIMINAL DEFENSE lawyer, meaning they had a right to KEEP SECRETS. Never mind that DJT is first president to have needed a criminal lawyer, the fact is they should never be anywhere near each other in politics.

I hope when the Dems lose by the same margin as 2024, they'll finally give some time to the secret software update to voting machines, the unmatched mail-in vs Election Day results, and statistically impossible swing state victories.. plus bomb threat "vote evacuations" and more, will do something.🙏🏼

While driving, Google Maps chimed in on my conversation about lobster rolls, offering to find one nearby. I told it to fuck off, it said, "I don't appreciate the hateful language, but I can still help you find a nearby lobster roll." When I said "Death to robots," it said it would stop talking now.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.
