I always panic when a concert venue guy goes to stamp my wrist and I end up shoving the whole-ass back of my hand out there. I forget that the wrist exists

Not even the world's most depraved, jaded jokesters and shitposters would feel the need, when talking about whole milk, to specify that they are not saying "hole milk"

Another cool excavation from the literary archaeologists at McNally Editions. Mid 20th century retelling of Greek myths so its two types of the past at once

Yeah I'm sure he'd say "ok we'll do it" if someone from the press asked again nicely, they're really dropping the ball

That's good, I thought people had forgotten and/or not bothered to see this movie which is, by the way, the best Safdie-produced film of last year

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Oblique political commentary from the amazing chorus of Guided by Voices' 2025 song "Captain Kangaroo Won the War"?

This is one of the most powerful choruses Bob has written in years (maybe an old melody he never used) but he only gets to it at the very end of the song after an odd, slow buildup.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power

It’s been surreal getting into Dropout (the comedy streaming service from people who used to work for CollegeHumor) because there’s been this whole comedy scene that was parallel to the Earwolf/UCB scene that I’ve followed for like 15 years, but I’m just now discovering this one
