Watched this last night, it was VERY funny! But Nato’s right, it is not for the politically faint of heart. Gird your ideological loins and go watch it!
Here is the link for my brand new standup special The Darkest Hour. Album version out 8/14. It is not for everyone but it is extremely for who it’s for. I hope that is you. I’m quite proud of it. Please give it a watch and share etc. youtu.be/_er-hJ8nZh0?...
Date: What do you do? Me: I'm a kleptozoologist Date: Isn't it cryptozoologist? Me, stuffing my pockets with lobsters from the tank: that's a common misconception
somebody called in today asking about our 70mm Odyssey screenings and the caller ID said Ithaca NY and I really wanted to say "You're already home, why make more trouble for yourself"
I'll straight up listen to elevator music in a house and house music in an elevator. I really don't give a shit anymore.
Happy birthday to Mavis Staples. Here are the Staple Singers with their version Slippery People by Talking Heads. Mavis has two shows lined up at London's Union Chapel next month
I spoke with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today. I asked him where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? Not one now to mock your own grinning? Quite chapfallen? Now get you to my lady’s chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she must come. Make her laugh at that.

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.
This Is Just To Say I told you so about that thing you disagreed with me about of which irrefutable proof has now emerged Forgive me it is too delicious too sweet not to remind you that you were wrong
if you say "moses supposes his toeses are roses, but moses supposes..." to the lads they holler back "ERRONEOUSLY!" beastie boys style it's incredible
A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.
detective: you're a sick son of a bitch, you know it? that bird was your friend of 10, 12 years and you drop a big fuckin boulder on him. wile e. coyote: i swear to god man i didn't think it was gonna work. it never works. oh god. detective: nevada's a death penalty state.
the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"
Just watched the Taco Bell CEO talk about how excited he was “for the storytelling opportunity” around their chicken nuggets. Just insane bullshit but it’s also its own orthodoxy. The corporate class is a secular priesthood and to witness their madness is to know this is something to actively oppose
I don’t necessarily think it means I’m out of my mind but it’s maybe not great that for MONTHS the voice of Beck will occasionally come to my brain unbidden and say “tHaT wAs A gOoD dRuM bReAk”
Always happy to hear @joshgondelman.bsky.social on @thebugle.bsky.social! It’s one of the podcasts I’ve been following for the longest and Josh is one of my favorite guests. ♥️♥️
