When I talk to students about public speaking or teaching, I always bring this up: Just tell people when you don't know something! It's remarkably powerful b/c it signals to your audience that you know the boundaries of your expertise and they can trust what you DO talk about.
completely outside of politics, this is so charming

I feel like a lot of us in the comedy world failed the world at large when we stayed silent despite knowing all about Cosby and Louis so let me say right now that Steve Martin has eaten one banjo a year for the last 25 years

In other news, I recommend today's Daily Podcast, about the parents of a trans girl who just had to flee Tennessee for Connecticut in order to protect her. The parents are both Southerners and ministers, and had idea what "trans" was until they had to learn.

In 2025, everyone has been getting a tiny taste of "Basic, level 1, beginner tutorial mode" of what Black people experience in this country in 2024.
And you've only been experiencing it for ~9 months.
And you're like, "No more! This is unbearable!"
You're right. It is unbearable.

Racism is fascism practiced on Black people first.
Hitler based the Nuremberg laws on US Jim Crow. He invaded Russia because he wanted his own California.
The US shifting from a racist country to a fascist country basically means "Start treating everyone like you've always treated Black people."

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

I have heard the whistles in Norwood Park. Cop and firefighter neighborhood, Chicago’s own Staten Island (minus vampires). Chicago forever.
It’s being reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it’s also being reported that he’ll be back, in larger numbers. But Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we’ll be ready. dansinker.com/posts/202…

When I was little, I believed that adult people in charge of stuff were all really smart, because they wouldn't be in charge of stuff if they weren't; like, you couldn't be stupid and still have responsibilities. And while I have been wrong about many things in my life, I was wrongest about that.
