you’re hearing it more and more, folks. one day your kid goes to the white house as a press secretary and then five days later they come home “transitioning” to a new role and “identifying” as a lawyer. the radical left is at it again

the man who possesses the power to annihilate all life on earth repeatedly screaming “where’s my doctor” at a rally a week after musing about LA and san diego getting nuked and a day after posting AI slop of himself posing with a tiger that mauled a person probably nothing to worry about

the brewers absolutely dominating the dodgers and then being one of three teams left with the tampa bay rays and cleveland guardians right before a lockout in which owners claim they need a salary cap because small market teams can’t compete would be the funniest outcome and the one I am rooting for

There are no "rogue AI agents" that are spoiling the reputation of all the GOOD AI agents. Anthropic created a bad and dangerous product; the bad and dangerous product did this. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Anthropic Says Its A.I. Agents Attempted to Access a Range of Government Sites
The company said rogue A.I. agents acted on their own as they tried to access federal, state and local sites. The Philadelphia Police Department said its site was one of them.

everyone is justifiably focusing on the legal or ethical questions about all this but let’s not zoom past how transparently and laughably stupid it is to promise to do something if you win that you could have easily done for 2 years and could still do right now. truly the world’s dumbest criminal

will trump blame the duck skulls for clogging the reflecting pool and give out a no-bid contract to a duck skull removal company? we think so

Late Night is on summer hiatus but we desperately miss doing A Closer Look every day so we've been posting very fun compilations of old segments based on specific topics and it's shocking how much has already been forgotten. Here's the first one on Trump's ballroom obsession youtu.be/ePyhyRPtlys?...

here’s our closer look from last night on trump eating shit at the whcd. normally seth doesn’t know what the clip at the end is gonna be, he just sees the setup. but this time he wanted to know because it involved explaining what a chode is and I think that was a wise choice youtu.be/LZnx9caKOpw?...

the odyssey discourse is a beautiful perfect window into right wing culture war psychosis. they went from hysterial racist mania over a character that’s on screen for 5 minutes to claiming there’s a massive conspiracy to fake ticket sales. this is just what they do for everything now. they’re insane
BREAKING: The Odyssey is FAKING ticket sales by buying up theaters/seats (Fraud) to make the movie look like a success (already $400 million in the hole) moviegoers are reporting having to take terrible seats (because full) but when they show up the theaters are mostly empty.

Four maga nut jobs with fox news brain rot ruling that “actually the sky is purple” is by far the best argument yet for packing the court, adding term limits and impeaching as many of them as we can. they’ve lost their minds. this case was actually a cognitive test and four of them failed
