I count down the days to Heidi Klum’s unhinged Halloween costume reveal the way most people count the days down to Christmas.

“If the mayor of Topeka doesn’t answer some serious questions about Botswana I’m moving to fucking Canada!”

That’s what half the Mamdani posts sound like to me.

Living in NYC is wild. People who will never come here have loud opinions about one of our mayoral candidates based on his opinion of a country they’d never even think about visiting.

This is exactly what I said that got me banned from that Anne Rice fanfic forum.

How do all the “preserve history” people who clutched their pearls at the de-statue-ing of confederate generals feel about the Smithsonian removing Trump from the impeachment exhibit?

Y’all sad? You okay? I’m here if you need to talk.

That should be the Late Show from now on. And then in May, stage a coup to keep from being removed from the studio.

@stephenathomes.bsky.social should just rebrand as a right wing propagandist and basically shift to doing the Colbert Report 2025. Cutting satire but pretending to be a spineless shill who will do or say whatever it takes to make Trump happy.

Dr Demento is getting out of the game just before all the hackneyed “Bomb Iran” (to the tune of Barbra Anne) parodies flood his inbox AGAIN

Sure we all hate when someone describes a dream to us, but have you ever had someone describe a baseball play to you?

That moment in Star Wars where Han Solo says “never tell me the odds” hits so much harder if you know he’s a gambling addict.

I think a lot of us probably would have joined a research expedition to the arctic by now if it hadn’t been for The Thing.

Though I guess… in reality… it’s always been… gender fluid.

Wait a goddamn second… in Spanish, “Mexico” is masculine, and “America” is feminine.

Those sons of birches made the Gulf trans!

For a bunch of dipshits who pretend not to understand gender identity and gleefully deadname their own children, they sure are quick to embrace calling it the Gulf of America

I know there are more important things right now, and I’m coming to this late…

But are you telling me that Mare of Easttown and Mayor of Kingstown are completely different shows that have nothing to do with each other?

Unbelievable.

Guys. It’s 2025. Why can I STILL not text my dog?

None of his cabinet picks so far scream “Henry Gerber founds the first gay rights organization” but it’s in the window, so fingers crossed!

Okay so we’ve gotten some important data recently: “Make America Great Again” has to be referring to a period in time AFTER the Panama Canal was built, but BEFORE the polio vaccine was introduced.

So somewhere between 1904 and 1955, which… I gotta tell you guys… does not look great.

I wonder what Trump thinks a YMCA is.

Jeff Goldblum is Al Gore’s Waluigi.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

The bitter irony is how much Jay Leno now looks like a Conan character.

I watched in disbelief, then looked up to the man. It was Ted Danson.

“Sorry man, that really sucks.”

Then he ran inside to get out of the rain.

I was in NYC carrying a huge, heavy bolt of fabric down 8th Ave. It started raining. A cab stoped about a block away to drop its fare. I sprinted at it. A man stepped out, held the door for me as I arrived, just as a woman came around the corner and ducked into the cab. It drove off…
Twitter is doing “best celebrity interactions” discourse so we should do WORST ones

not necessarily like that they were a jerk, just that the interaction itself was a fail on some level

like one time Robert Sean Leonard walked past me and I short-circuited so badly I spilled guacamole on myself
