We just learned that season 4 of the Beavis and Butthead reboot premieres on Comedy Central (which still exists) on Oct. 14th (scheduled to exist). I think it's our best season. Sam and I wrote one where B&B get lost in the woods and start their own civilization. But there's even dumber ones too!

But if trans girls are "cheating" by playing women's sports, what else are the sneaky trans people cheating about. They're also coming for Title IX. They don't care about women in sports. They want women out of sports. Please, I am begging you, stop falling for this shit.

"Best! Beat! Ever!" (proceeds to tell an anecdote about a senator telling her to go buy a dress before she's allowed to write a story about him in the wake of a racist mass shooting)
Like anyone who’s spent any time around politics, I have many Lindsey Graham stories. This is perhaps my favorite…

I was covering Congress (Best! Beat! Ever!) for the NYT when the Mother Emanuel shooting happened in Charleston. It was summer, but I was wearing pants and a sweater that day because it was always SO freezing in the Capitol. Anyhow, news of the shooting came down, and the DC Bureau chief called me with an order: Get yourself to Charleston ASAP and glue yourself to Graham’s side. She wanted a piece on the senator grappling with the unimaginable. So I headed straight to the airport, arriving in Charleston with just my backpack and what I’d be wearing to work that day, and linked up with Graham.

He had me meet him at a restaurant, where I told him I needed to shadow him for the next 48 hours. And he looked at me, with amused distaste, and said: “You are sticky. And you are icky. If you want to shadow me, go buy some nice new clothes—maybe a dress—and take a shower, and then we’ll talk.” (He was not wrong; I was sweaty and gross). 

So I drove to a local big box store, bought a dress (he seemed to have a strong preference for a dress), and spent the next few days with him, resulting in this piece (which, for reasons not worth getting into, ended up being fairly different than the original assignment):

Not to speak ill of the dead, but Alan Greenspan was not just reading but also fucking Ayn Rand, right? Like, Rand had a bunch of younger men in her circle whom she was fucking, and Greenspan was one of them, right? Did I imagine this?

For @tomsguide.com, I wrote about the unlikely continued brilliance of the 'Beavis and Butt-Head' revival, which now has the chance to find a new audience on Netflix.

Beavis and Butt-Head's reboot just arrived on Netflix. I was skeptical about it — but I was wrong
The iconic '90s duo star in a revival that's every bit as good as the original MTV series

If anyone is watching the MMA fight on Paramount+ — have they run any promos for Beavis & Butt-Head season 3? Has Joe Rogan mentioned it at all?

Lew Morton @lewmorton.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
The good news is, once you’ve paid for Paramount+ so you can watch Trump’s MMA fight, you can use it to watch season 3 of Beavis and Butt-Head, which dropped last Wednesday

Hey @gene4va.bsky.social @natsechobbyist.bsky.social remember how you raised a ton of money nationally by highlighting Eugene Vindman’s outrageous persecution by the Trump admin? Why the f*^% would you pay that forward by helping Trump persecute someone else?
