When searching for flights, I will be de-selecting "United Airlines" and encouraging others to do the same.
odd to watch the United Airlines CEO at the White House speak at the White House and sound like a Republican member of Congress

Google's A.I. is so stupid!
@connorratliff.bsky.social I was trying to use Google to find out how various guests had connections to the GLTS, and apparently this is what their AI overview had to say for Rachel Zegler before it showed me any actual search results 😮‍💨

Scorsese made two 21st century movies that more or less explain why 2025 America is a fucking nightmare.

If you listened to the episode of Dead Eyes about Tom Hanks' Electric City...

I've had Google and eBay alerts for this official, non-bootleg, region-free South Korean DVD release for years now, and this is the first time any have popped up since I gave one to Tom in episode 31:

I have never been cast in a horror movie, and I have never auditioned for Saturday Night Live.

Which makes me the ideal person to conduct a masterclass on each of these topics.

You still want to believe the political fuel that powers the American collapse into authoritarianism isn't the deep, abiding resentment of white men who pine for an America that sees and services only them? Gaze upon Leni Riefenstahl's recent work for Donald Trump's U.S. Department of Labor.

It is such a bummer to be reading an article and realize that it was A.I.-written, like when a piece about the late Gene Hackman describes him as the star of "Heartbreakers."

Technically true, but the only people who would LEAD with that would MAYBE be the filmmakers who made "Heartbreakers."

Ok, I just need to crowdsource this:

Is the George Lucas/Mellody Hobson article in the print edition of WSJ Magazine? And if so, is that issue in stores now? Anyone know of a place in NYC where I can get a copy? Or is something that is online and will be in the print edition that comes out SOON?

My only previous Chicago performance was in last year's @cbbworld.bsky.social show, where I played "Ed Debevic."

On 11/22, I will be bringing my solo show to the same building where my dad used to do improv back in 1970/71!

You've got to break a few humans to make a small cadre of soulless grifters and racebaiters look like a bold, legitimate government.

Lincoln saved the Union.
Roosevelt beat the Axis.
Trump sent fishing fleets back to the docks.
34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.
