how are we doing on this

“The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

That Oval Office press avail was shameful. Absolutely shameful.

I love this. Autograph from Gene Hackman to Michael Rosenbaum: “To the second best Lex Luthor”

Not even trying to hide it anymore, are they?

On the big Thursday show, we talked about the psychotic Trump Gaza AI video. Plus, Elon Musk lied about restoring funding for Ebola prevention, anti-woke comedians and the persecution of the trans community, Social Security on the chopping block, and more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Dude, I love this thread so much.

Whoops! 😅

Doesn't matter if it's from Trump or Musk, the vast majority of what comes out of their mouths is a lie because they are either: A) knowingly lying B) too stupid to know any better C) both of the above at the same time What a time to be alive.

Remembering Gene Hackman with some of my favorite Random Roles anecdotes about him…from Kevin Dunn, David Morse, Harry Lennix, and Kurtwood Smith.

Absolute legend. Truly one of the all time greats.

Here’s the commentary track we recorded in December for #TheRiseOfSkywalker. If I do say so myself, I think it’s a good’n.

These whiners will never not be hilarious.

duh-RAMA!

These guys copy each other’s terrible ideas

No democrat should vote for anything in Congress until Musk is fired and all the federal funding he zeroed out on a whim is restored. We simply cannot have a democracy when the Executive's zonked-out Vizier moves fast and breaks things he doesn't understand, which is all things, because he's stupid.

I literally can't think of a better outcome than all the right-wing podcast dumbfucks going dark so they can take a government job they hate and don't know how to do.

Well, if that doesn’t sum it up, I don’t know what does.

“To give her due, Kathleen had an extraordinarily difficult challenge: How do you take over George Lucas’s baby? She did it and stayed for 13 years. There are very few franchises that have survived that long.”

Oh wow.

If this were free markets and the rule of law, or fm and democracy or fm and freedom then I cld see worse things. But while I v much support “personal liberties” in context this sounds like a pure right wing turn.

Done.

Jeff Bezos taking a sledgehammer to the Post’s institutional credibility in service of his bottom line is peak supervillain behavior.

Was doing some reading on Emmett Till and was reminded that he’d be 83 years old right now. He was less than a year older than Joe Biden and five years older than Donald Trump.

The House GOP just passed a budget slashing Medicaid, SNAP, school lunches, raises taxes on everyone making less than $200k a year, lowers taxes on anyone above that, and still explodes the deficit by more than a trillion dollars. They know the 2026 elections won't be free.

Oh man. 51 is too young.

I'm old enough to remember when Americans weren't terrified of flying airplanes due to preventable collisions. That was 2024 when Trump wasn't President and Musk wasn't running the show.

This is some of the dorkiest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.

lol okay. who's in charge? that's secret.

Bring it.

Disagree. Justin Hammer is a good dancer.

Speaking of easy block-and-mute tests for today.

Oh god, parts of the internet is gonna be insufferable for months.

All kinds of eras ending lately.

Eff these guys.

Good thread:
