Q: Why did Donald Trump bury Ivana on one of his golf courses?

A: So he could still cheat on her.

The cool thing about Thanksgiving week is that it kicks off where we get a bunch of time off from work.

Then MLK weekend hits and nothing until Memorial Day.

We should do something about that.

Robert Plant: communication breakdown! It’s always the same! Having another breakdown, drives me insane!

Verizon help desk: sir, please calm down, take it one step at a time and tell me if your modem is working.

@jessethorn.bsky.social I’m about a third of the way through this week’s DoughBoys and your stories about Bill Withers and Dustin Diamond are amazing.

You’re truly a terrific storyteller.

Any plans for a book about the 25 years of Bullseye with tales like these?

In what might be his last start in his HoF career, Max Scherzer is taking the bump tonight against Shohei Ohtani in Game 7 of the World Series.

I don’t even know what else to say.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

The fast talking star of “Wedding Crashers” is the plain-speaking, no BS, down home mobile providing pitch man?

Tom Green too busy?

I have to watch more television and pay better attention to stuff.

I settled in for a night of laughs and fired up what I thought was a “Derry Girls” spinoff called “Welcome to Derry”.

Gang, it’s not.

My favorite part of going for a run, you ask? The procrastination part, my dear boy.

In the 1960s Marvel introduced a ton of cool villains like Dr. Doom, Magneto and the Green Goblin. They also created one called Paste Pot Pete.

I think about Stan Lee coming up with this name when I’m overwhelmed at work.

Jack Tripper
Jack T. Ripper
Jack the Ripper!

Tip: watch Three’s Company and imagine John Ritter as a time traveling Jack the Ripper murdering roommates and dates offscreen during the 70s/80s in Los Angeles.

For a dog that loves chewing on paper towels (she doesn’t swallow them) Sunny sure is bashful about her favorite thing.

Man if I was even a little bit competent at Photoshop, this idea would hit: Bronny James Dio.

Being a doctor in the 1920s and 30s was fucking wild. This excerpt is from a Walt Disney biography. Roy is his brother.

The farmer who came up with pick-your-own-apples was a genius.

Farmer: Hey! Come here and pick apples in my orchard! We have a ton and I want them gone.

Dude: Sure. How much do you pay?

Farmer: Buddy, you’re going to pay me! Your wife will love it!

Dude: Am I missing football?

Farmer: Yup!

“The Morning Show” could be the most bonkers dumb show I’ve ever watched.

I can’t believe real-life adults actually write this dog shit.
