Here's a statement that I think can bring a divided country together - everyone can join hands and agree on this: "I'm just glad Dick Cheney isn't alive to see this!"

You know what though? The best part of this whole thing has been the Canadian solidarity throughout. We still have that. If sports is for anything real, it's for stuff like that.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Hot take - speaking as an exhausted Canadian who has been through too much grief and fear regarding my friends to the south, the White House thing is actually pretty funny to me in this moment. Get wrecked.

Another underrated SNL character - Paulie Herman/Jersey Guy. Piscopo is a divisive figure, and gets lost in Murphy's shadow, but was absolutely critical to his time at SNL. This character is also divisive and was 'killed off' due to unlikability but I love him.

The most 2025 thing of today: listening to a podcast hosted by a comedian about the US government's official anti-vaccine policies, and there is a sponsored public service announcement from KitKat Canada asking Canadians to be less polite to AI as an energy conservation strategy. Gimme a break!

Another under-rated SNL sketch. The "Two Sammies" characters from season 12 did get repeated, but didn't make much of a long-term impact. However, this sketch has stuck with me more than any other, and I find myself saying "there's another thing I'll never do!" about 5 times a day.

A week late, but I was so happy to see @danielobrien.bsky.social on stage at, delivering the acceptance speech at, and of course winning an(other) Emmy. I've been a fan for many years, and it's just so nice to see.

Wow. Think Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and (especially) Stephen Colbert had great segments last night about Kimmel's cancellation, but this beats them all.

I'm proud to say that for the past year I have succeeded in reducing my single-use-plastic consumption by 100%.
Here's how I did it - every time I'm about to throw away something plastic, I briefly put it on top of my head and say "look, a silly hat!" and then throw it away. So... that's two uses.

I'm usually not a huge fan of "bad man ugly" jokes, but Emile Bove looks like if Peter Lorre were cast as Salad Fingers. That's not a joke, it's just facts.

I think a funny joke would be, if a big muscular bald guy is working at an ice cream shop and he's being aggressive and kind of a jerk, to say "calm down Cold Stone Steve Austin." I bet he would just have to start laughing and laughing and forget about being mad at you for having too many samples.
