F-350 Super Duty dually as the new Popemobile? A Ford is the most Catholic American car. Henry Ford might have been episcopalian, but between his zeal for antisemitism and his passion for the Fordlandia project he gave off big Jesuit energy.

“Who’s that famous guy I’m thinking of? With the three names?” “Lee-Harvey Oswald?” “No, he was married to that lady?” “Lee-Harvey Oswald.” “No. He worked in film.” “Lee-Harvey Oswald worked in film. Well, a film. He did visual effects.” (Reader, she meant Billy-Bob Thornton.)

“I’m a people.”

Bet you aren’t.

James McGrath the most fun watch of the night.

Did James McGrath *really* say “I’m just a small bean; you wouldn’t pick on a guy with glasses, would you?”

James McGrath seems desperate to assume every fuckin’ boomer in Australia is off caravanning this weekend and voted a fortnight ago.

Hot tip: if your partner shows you one of those generated images of themselves as an action figure and accessories in a blister pack, they’re *not* looking to hear “did you know the electricity required to create just that one image exceeds the annual power consumption of our household?”

Warren Zevon and Salt-N-Pepa were both just inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now all I can think of is the words “Roland, he’s the headless submachine gunner” over the baseline of “Push It.”

(opens drink) you know what they say: it’s always 9/11 somewhere

Do Transformers work using werewolf rules? Like, if your car is hit in traffic by an Autobot does it turn into a robot at the next full moon?

JD Vance killing the pope is still way less plausible than Liz Truss killing the Queen.

I did not have Jon Arbuckle pegged as a someone who would daily a classic Mazda Cosmo.

He’s a weird little guy sometimes, our Brian.

A film that takes place where you’re from:

What’s the over/under on Karoline Leavitt defending the Justice Department’s new designation of ‘NVE’s (Nihilistic Violent Extremists) with “You can say what you want about the tenets of national socialism; at least it’s an ethos.”

New campaign for @fordaustralia.bsky.social is gaslighty as hell. Abandons local manufacturing, attempts to convince the market that its deeply committed to Australia, while using a song about being incapable of change, which literally asks “if I leave here tomorrow would you still remember?”

Listening to the @trashfuture.bsky.social interview with A.S. Hamrah and wondering if Brady Corbet has somehow confused ‘North By Northwest’ with ‘Top Secret’?

That’s a good endgame for 7yo #1 considering it’s only his, like, 6th game ever, and he wasn’t mirroring my moves.

Removes YouTube Kids from the childens’ iPads, citing damaging influence to their attention spans, intellectual development, etc. (monkey’s paw curls a finger) Children have discovered podcasts. Goddamnit.

I just half heard a radio ad for an album or band or tour or maybe an energy drink called ‘Silverjesus’ and then had to spend a good thirty seconds trying to solve in my head a kind of JJJ-themed word puzzle, untangling from each other the names ‘Silverjesus’, ‘Spiderchair’, and ‘Superbait’.
