I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to the death my right to make fun of you for saying it.
Two or three people I follow haven't made jokes about this yet. I know it's early, but let's get to work, folks.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I just did my annual check-in and there has been no change in status: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is still perfect. I watched it with my Gen Z friends, whose faces were duly melted.

If no one got hurt, this should qualify under the Anything Awesome Is Legal If You Can Get Away With It laws.

When you make a biopic about a lady boxer, and you think the general public is so hyped for a biopic about a lady boxer that all you have to do is call the movie by the lady's boring first name — "CHRISTY" — and they'll show up, that's how you know you've got your finger on the pulse of America.

I have just learned the business phrase "value stream." We're implementing something, but we gotta make sure our partners on the "value stream" are looped in. Value stream. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

I'm sorry, but "Mickey Mental" is a Batman villain whose shtick is that he's an insane baseball player. It's not a real person.

Pour one out for Clock. I bought Clock for $10 at Walmart in 2001, changed the battery maybe 3x in a quarter century, and was reliably told the time by it till last night, when it fell (leaped?) from the wall and broke on the floor. Probably the best value I’ve ever gotten on anything I’ve bought.

Republicans have not operated in good faith in my lifetime. I am 51. The problem is that Democratic leaders are several decades older than I am and still remember a (possibly fictional) time when this was not the case. Everyone needs to retire (or die, I am not picky).

PREDATOR: ARBITRARY SUBTITLE is a hoot! It uses odd-couple action-movie tropes to great effect and has a few delightful surprises. Just fun, top-quality B-movie diversion. Also: Underneath the Predator makeup? Michael Cera.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

A man was killed by a train right outside my apartment yesterday. The bells were dinging and the barriers were down, but the guy went around them (apparently thinking there wasn't actually a train coming?) and got hit. Could have been intentional, too, I suppose. Really terrible.

I'd be curious to know the threshold. At what level of wealth are you entitled to an audience with the mayor-elect of NYC? What's the dollar amount?
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

One thing fascists do on purpose is take something that is very obviously not the least bit true about Dear Leader and say that it's the most true.
Duffy: "Can I make one other point about POTUS before we're out of time? I have never seen someone work so hard. All day long he's moving, he's meeting, he's thinking. Dinners he's usually meeting with people. And then at night he's still on the phone calling people! He doesn't stop. He's a machine"
