Like "Voltron," but with more lions
Josh!! Congratulations! Well deserved!! ❤️
This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

I'm a little embarrassed that I wanted a BS invite, that I thought BS might be a haven from the hate and abuse I experienced so often on Birdsite.

Learning how to gracefully handle the emotional impact of userbases at scale is one of the hardest parts of transitioning from "me and a few of my buddies" mode to "small team, big userbase" mode. There's stuff you can't learn, because it's entirely resilience-based.

affirmative action has always taken the blame for mediocre white people not getting something they feel they deserved

and a certain set of asians that were useful fools are about to find out the legacy spots aren't meant for their not white enough kids

one would think that with the end of affirmative action in college admissions we’ll finally also see the end of people blaming black students for why they didn’t get into their preferred university, but i suspect that will continue all the same.
