The standards for defamation of a public figure are very high. It’s particularly hard to prove. I say this because Navarro stumbled ass-backwards into every one of those standards with this unhinged ramble. This isn’t even “THAT uncle at Thanksgiving”, this is “crazy guy in an alley”. Sue ‘em, doc.

Peter Navarro on Maria Bartiromo's show lies with impunity that "it's an indisputable fact" that Fauci "created that virus" and "killed people"

If I’m ever able to distract a billionaire hypercapitalist by convincing him to spend all his time and attention pursuing an obviously-bullshit business opportunity, rest assured that I will totally do it. “Oh, yeah, that’s the new growth market. Fish desks. Desks for fish. Gotta jump on that.”

I have realized that, as of late, I have developed the habit of responding to shitty drivers on the freeway with the angry nasal barks of the Martians from Mars Attacks. I do not intend to correct this behavior.

Did a classic “Y’know what?/CHICKEN BUTT” to my roommate just now and I’m the proudest I’ve ever been. I am a grown-up.

Cast yourself as a villain. (Probably not the first choice those who know me would expect, but I wanted to both choose a character less-often-portrayed by others, as well as someone I legit have a take for.)

“Weird Al” Yankovic turned down a highly paid commercial after learning it involved AI: “Oh, no. I can’t be the poster boy for AI. Forget it.”

Supergirl (2026): Good; maybe not great, but good! Couple of things that bug me (and I straight-up refused to look when Krypto was suffering), but overall a good time. The whole cast is great. To me, it feels like the kind of film that COULD be a favorite for whoever connects to the material more.

Happy Disability Pride Month to all my friends, and individuals who have a form of disability whether it be physical, neurological, etc. There is a lot going on with the disability community at this very moment in our country & the world. But know that you are absolutely worth it.

To borrow a phrase from Calculon, behold John Oliver’s unholy….ACTING….TALENT!!!! (This is glorious, I’m so pumped.)

On this, Mel Brooks’ 100th, take note that he wasn’t some instantaneous success. He spent years in writers’ rooms, trying to make a name for himself, running up against people telling him he was finished. Even the 2000 Year Old Man records being released hadn’t made him less broke. Never give up.

Happy 100TH BIRTHDAY to the king Mel Brooks, who wore a fake extra finger to his handprint ceremony🥳🎂🥳

So much of my own ridiculousness is based on watching (and rewatching) all of Mel Brooks’ films when I was way too young to be exposed to them or to get most of the jokes. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Going down a brief rabbit hole of scenes from The Phantom Tollbooth film (thank you @dreamwisp.bsky.social) and I forgot how hard one of the lines in this song goes: Take an hour and change the fate of the world. Worth remembering. youtu.be/eJaNDQ-jkxs?...

Y’know, one of the nice things about them continuing to make Toy Story movies is that it gives Tom Hanks another opportunity to not be the “oh voice acting is easy” kind of celebrity, in favor instead of saying “holy shit this is the hardest crap I’ve ever had to do SIX HOURS OF EFFORTS OMG”.

Just spent this Juneteenth evening watching the remarkable one-man show The Agitators (directed by my bud @arthur-romeo.bsky.social). An incredible re-enactment of three real speeches. If you’re in the LA area, you owe it to yourself to catch it. www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13781

There’s a moment in Disclosure Day that felt more honest about the idea of an ordinary person living through a movie-grade action set-piece than anything I’ve seen since Casino Royale. The whole movie is great, but that scene especially hit me hard.

No amount of money is ever gonna make those hair plugs look real, Lonnie.

Is there an existing, acknowledged psychological behavior of having had major cut-you-open surgery eight months prior and only NOW freaking out about the fact that you were on an operating table being cut open? Asking for a me.

There is meaning behind a casting. We don't get to keep a job for more than a few weeks at a time. Having a role recurr is the closest we ever get to job security. Consider the material conditions of actors- as well as what they have brought to your franchise as free marketting- when you cast.

I’m ok chat. I’m just deeply grieving. Everything in life is transient. I celebrate that the experience happened. I am grateful that I lived it FULLY. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. Yukiko, i will love u forever. Yosuke, let’s go get a burger. 💚💛💚💛💚 Chie out

Every once in a while, you just need to dive into a massive run on Weird Al songs and videos. “Once in a while” is something of a flexible rubric; the time between may be surprisingly brief.

This is where we speculate on where Spencer Pratt will move now that he’s lost and he promised to GTFO. Maybe he’ll crash on a gold-plated futon at Mar-A-Lago? Oooh, he could rent a bungalow in Papua New Guinea and pretend he’s surrounded by AI-generated dogs! No, wait, A HOT AIR BALLOON.

1990: Time, Inc. 2001: AOL 2018: AT&T 2022: Discovery 2026: Paramount/Skydance Anybody wanna remind Warner Bros. shareholders of the ol’ Rita Mae Brown quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”?

I’m out in Brea for the afternoon, stopping in at a local coffee spot for some cold brew. One of the workers there, a young lady likely in her early 20s, has cut up a cardboard box to be a wide flat helmet. With eyeholes. And cardboard eyelashes. The kids are gonna be alright. 💪
