You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

For the 1,000th time, there is no reason for your business to be on X/Twitter. Move to Bluesky or Mastodon or mimeograph flyers and stick them on telephone poles. You're throwing your content into a cesspool. The damage to your brand isn't worth it.

I suspect Deadbeat Donald's "movie tariff" is aimed at penalizing Canadian TV and movie production. It's more of his "51st State" bullshit. The man truly combines the ethics of Guy Caballero, the courage of Johnny La Rue, and the intelligence of Mayor Tommy Shanks #CDNPoli #USpol #SCTV

This is absolutely off the rails batshit lawlessness. Tina Peters was properly tried and convicted, with full due process, for committing election fraud to prove the existence of election fraud.

Gavin Newsom is the villain in a 1980s comedy, arriving in a small town to close the factory and tear down the orphanage. With any luck, in the last reel, someone will dump a truckload of garbage on him as the crowd cheers, and then a Doobie Brothers song will play over the closing credits.

This is fine, but why did it take Schumer until Monday evening to react to an outrageous presidential statement broadcast Sunday morning? The president said he doesn't know if he needs to uphold the Constitution. You can go with your gut and say that's bad. You don't need to ask a consultant first.

"Silent," @csmonitor.bsky.social? When have college conservatives ever been "silent"? My entire life, their defining characteristic has been that they never stop whining for five seconds

If you've been in a Rite Aid recently, this is the least surprising news possible. I'm not sure they are in business, based on the stores nearest me. Venture capital strikes again!

Remember when the Alcatraz reopener said this? His only motivating philosophy besides lining his greasy pockets is the idea of the white oppressor, a cruel uber-bwana whose only law is his whims. No five dimensional chess, just insecurity and meanness www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...
