I’ve never related to Scott Jennings harder than just now on CNN when he made a reference to Chance the gardener and nobody else at the table got it

Yesterday morning people were speculating as to whether Senator Eric Schmitt would be a good fit as JD Vance’s running mate. Then came his wipeout in the Jack Smith hearing and everyone was like, “Oh yeah, he’s definitely dumb enough.”

The president says if we just expect tech companies to self-police their A.I. it will all probably turn out fine. Also while we’re at it he thinks if we could just make the Constitution a self-policing thing that would be super convenient for him.

I love 30 Rock the way I love one of those dioramas in a museum’s miniatures exhibit. I’ll often think back to the artistry of the detail work on that one little credenza but the work as a whole doesn’t colonize my soul like one of the great paintings in the gallery upstairs

“Shame on you,” the murderous indicted fraudster said to the UN General Assembly. Later he’s scheduled to address the Council on Grotesque Irony.

If the president wants the media to report that he does good things, he should consider trying to do good things.

Marcy Kaptur was attacked by her opponent for her purported support of trans folks. So her campaign came out against trans folks. Now instead of about half of the electorate being mad at her, 100% of the electorate is mad at her. So mission accomplished, it’s a nice round number.

President Trump has barred the White House to anyone who makes him look bad, including CNN, Politico, and reality.

Well, fine: if that’s how they feel I won’t even submit to the Yale Drama Prize next year, that’ll show them. (If you’re in the sliver of my online friends who gets that joke, good luck with your continued playwriting endeavors.)

“I worry about the dangers of AI.” “It’s not a big deal.” “AI agents go rogue and hack systems.” “They’re just following flawed prompts.” “Donald Trump says the existential threat of AI is a hoax.” “Oh shit. Really? Okay it’s definitely real, time to panic.”

If you don’t think Trump can do comedy, consider how he hosted an enormous convention celebrating how much more alert and awake he is than Sleepy Joe, and then basically went straight from there to a somber 9/11 memorial where he promptly and publicly fell asleep. The setup! The timing!

Was bantering with the barista and in response to something I said he laughed and said “That’s a really good joke” and long story short this is the biggest tip I’ve ever left.

Yes the president offered to give everyone $5000 if the Republicans win the midterms but I don’t know if it legally counts as vote-buying bribery if he’s totally lying to us

Trump’s desperately spending taxpayer money on ballrooms and arches so he won’t be forgotten by history. In response, history looked at all the people he killed and said “Don’t worry, bro. Won’t forget.”

Yes, Coyote vs Acme is clever and funny and visually ingenious and catnip for Gen-Xers, but it also includes at least one genuinely moving moment which is more than I found in this season’s Nolan or Spielberg. Well-played, Wile E.

The president has won the trade war with Canada by changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. And he’s won the actual war with Iran by changing the meaning of “failure” to “success.” Please make a note of it.

If you thought that aide’s letters to Trump apologizing for existing were cringe, just imagine the ones she’s writing him now apologizing for becoming the lead news story.

President Trump would like to let everyone know that everything with the country's going great, no issues, no concerns, but oh yeah just one little thing, does anyone happen to have a spare $40,047,426,000,000 he could borrow?

The bad news is that Iran continues to pose a deadly threat to American service members. The worse news is that Pete Hegseth poses an even deadlier threat to American service members.

Probably ICE agents are hoping that if they just keep saying that everyone they meet is trying to hit them with a car, eventually one of these times maybe it won’t be a lie.

Recent polls indicate that Americans are just about as skeptical of President Trump’s cognitive abilities as they were of President Biden’s. When reached for comment, the president responded “potato salad.”

True, the latest jobs report was dire, but don’t worry, President Trump’s on top of it. He’s already directed his justice department to find a US Olympian to blame it on.

Granted, his WHCD monologue was a disaster. But to be fair, we didn’t elect Trump to be a comedian. We elected him to raise prices, start wars, and spread disease.

Warning me that a film adaptation isn’t faithful to its source is like warning me that a car isn’t blue. It’s a problem if I prefer a car to be blue but as it happens I neither need nor expect it to be.

I noticed there’s some discourse happening about comedy in theater and I just wanted to single out B Street Theatre for doing it right (and @newplayexchange.bsky.social for spotlighting their work). Comedy tonight and also comedy tomorrow, why not.

I applaud the Republican Party for striving to diversify its population of representatives serving in elected office. Am surprised the demographic they’ve decided to accomplish that with is “Deceased.”

Sure, Trump has been personally profiting off the presidency in a majorly audacious grifting scheme. But technically for it to qualify as a conflict of interest, doing his job in service of the well-being of the American people would have to be one of Trump’s interests.

That’s a wrap on the Supreme Court’s 25-26 season, folks! Brett says everyone’s invited to Squish’s house for celebratory boofing. And if the night goes well maybe you can corner the 14th Amendment in a bedroom and have your way with her.

He promised to end foreign wars but started a foreign war; he promised to lower prices but raised prices; he promised to fix the reflecting pool but broke the reflecting pool. So it figures that he promised to get rid of illegal immigrants only to make more illegal immigrants.
