My husband is reading producer Walter Mirisch’s autobiography and shared this tidbit with me: When they were prepping to shoot MOBY DICK, director John Huston had an idea for how to portray the whale: A shark in a whale suit. I repeat: A shark. In a whale suit. I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS.
Here’s a reminder that sometimes we can have nice things: a DIFFICULT PEOPLE Blu-Ray signed by the goddess herself, @julieklausner.bsky.social. If you missed this on Hulu, dial it up today! If you value physical media (and special features like in the olden days!), acquire a copy now!

What I love most about John Oliver & the @lastweektonight.com team is how they can swing so wildly from shining a light on the most sobering subjects to making whimsical dreams a reality… whether it’s buying & forgiving real medical debt or THIS, it’s everything Philo Farnsworth thought TV could be.
Josephine beckbook.com Riesman@josie.zone · 2mo agoOh my godddd, every John Oliver scene on "General Hospital" as shadowy security consultant "Z" is fucking GOLD
Everyone should be able to live their truth** **unless your truth is making life hell for others, in which case why is that your truth you absolute pustule
You’ll see why in four days, but the first episode will kick off The Onion and InfoWars airing a full block of explosive programming every Thursday, live at 8 ET, for the rest of the summer. I am so goddamn excited about this. Tell everybody you know. They will probably want to watch it live.
Big week over at The Onion. — Thursday: InfoWars launches live at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube, Twitch and wherever you watch video. New handles and everything. Expect surprises. It is insane. — Friday: An entire history of the country, AMERICA: Birth of a Nation, airs at 8 p.m. ET on all Onion channels.

Thank God for Mel Brooks
Happy 100th birthday to the funniest man who ever lived.

There needs to be a professional theatrical production of @theonion.com editorials performed as monologues. And I would like to perform this one.

L. Frank Baum really really loved using the word "meat" adjectivally and I have to bring this to your attention. Here is a meat thread of some of L Frank Baum's meat mentions: 🧵
It must be wild for the youths to find out today that Ted Turner was — among other things — the guy who decided to desecrate a bunch of classic movies with colorization in the mid-to-late 1980s AND ALSO the “T” in @tcmtv.bsky.social…
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.
The Onion@theonion.com · 4mo agoPlug-a-lug time, kids… I’ll be spending a bit o’ time at @54below.bsky.social in a couple of weeks… BROADWAY ORIGINALS on 5/1 & 54/54/54 on 5/4 and today only: use code FLASH54 for 35% off 54/54/54!
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for. apnews.com/article/pitt...
To explain the incredibly important lesson I think Americans should take from the Orbán defeat, I have to start by telling you about my high school friend Jonah who is the biggest LA Dodgers fan I've ever met. Weird, I know. But deeply relevant. Let me tell you why. 🧵🧵🧵
Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii
Not since the halcyon days of Smoove B have I enjoyed an Onion op-ed so much. I’m aching for the opportunity to perform this as a monologue.
RM@dorsalstream.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
Happy International Women’s Day to all the strong women who are too frickin’ exhausted to open all those emails for 15% off beauty goop.
In this house, every day is Stephen Root Appreciation Day.
Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall.bsky.social · 6mo agoJimmy has fear? A thousand times no!
I often watch film performances and think about what the text looked like on the page and how the actor saw those words and came up with their choices… … and the one I think about a lot is how Robert Duvall decided to put across “it’s a big, fat, big-titted hit” in NETWORK. Singular perfection.
The “La Marseillaise” moment is my personal litmus test. If the day ever comes when my eyes remain dry after watching it, that will be the day I know my soul has died.
Jeff Stormer@jeffstormer.gobirds.online · 6mo agoYou ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????
