I’m proud to say I’ll be sitting in with his band for the whole run — and I’m thrilled to still be doing silly stuff with this guy even after 30 years.

Todd Glass’s nine night engagement at the NY Comedy Festival this week has one of greatest line ups of “Brought to you by” names ever.

If you like stand up comedy at all, chances are very good one of your favorite comics wants you to see Todd Glass.

Just thought I’d look up one of my tv shows on Grokipedia. This is NOT at all the court case depicted in the show “Jury Duty.”
Entry from Grokipedia. Grokipedia vo1 = Jury Duty (2023 television series) Jury Duty is an American mockumentary comedy series that documents a simulated jury trial from the perspective of Ronald Gladden, the sole unaware participant selected via a real jury summons in Los Angeles. 14] All other jurors, the judge, attorneys, witnesses, and court staff are actors portraying roles in a fabricated case involving a tech CEO suing an individual for damaging a smartphone prototype by spilling coffee on it during a flight.

Over 100,000 peaceful protesters in NYC, and zero arrests — according to the NYPD. That’s how you do it.

#nokings
A Twitter post from @NYPDNews. “The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.” 3:27 PM • 10/18/25 • 75K Views

Of course these fascist dipshits miss the point and identify with Duvall’s unhinged perpetual warmonger character. Fascists can’t understand when they’re being made fun of.
Screen shot of a post from @realDonald Trump says I love the smell of deportations in the morning...' Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR. A ridiculous AI photo shows Trump portraying the over-the-top amoral warmonger Col Kilgore from Apocalypse Now, complete with a caption that reads Chipocaylpse Now.

Turns out I tweeted in 2020 about Paul Stanley saying the right things on vaccines.

Fellas, an "honor" personally chosen by Donald Trump – because you're one of the few artists who would accept – is not in any way "honor" you think it is.
A tweet of mine from March 25, 2020 reads "It never would have occurred to me growing up that one day Paul Stanley would be a better role model for public health than the President of the United States."

A Photoshopped mockup of a scene from The Shining at the Sphere. As Nicholson sticks his head in the door to say "Here's Johnny!", the frame has been extended to make his head tiny at the bottom of the frame, which is now filled with mostly distorted bathroom doors.

What classic film couldn't use a little AI touch up? Who needs close-ups anyway?

Seriously is this a troll account? This person knows absolutely nothing about filmmaking.
Screenshot of an old tweet from Ben Mankiewicz. Responding a variety headline noting that several Oscar categories will be awarded off the air, he tweets “I know people are upset but name one movie where music or film editing made a difference?”

From a great analysis of last night’s South Park. Trey and Matt may be late to the party, but that’s what’s most notable — and possibly effective — about this bit.

www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...
Screen shot of a paragraph from the article “But Parker and Stone's long history of making fun of earnestness in many ways makes them the ideal delivery system for an episode like this. Colbert was canceled because the president has thin skin and despises anyone who tells jokes about him, but Colbert was also preaching to the converted. That it was South Park bringing this savagery — not just making fun of Trump, but being so blunt and unsparing in its critique of him - is going to have far more impact, and get more attention, than a famously and unabashedly liberal TV host saying the same things. (Though I doubt any of the current late-night shows would have given us a talking, googly-eyed phallus.)”

Bad news for Avid. Even the nation's most trusted deep-state conspiracy editors have switched to Premiere.

Thank goodness the NY Times opinion section is enlightening me with the oh-so interesting thoughts of literal supervillians.
Screenshot of Ross Douthat asking Peter Thiel a question. The shot is zoomed in on the graphic “Ross Douthat Opinion Columnist” and the caption reads “You would prefer the human race to endure, right?”

Totally not Photoshopped

This is a serious post, btw. I'm no business genius, but I'll bet this creepy facist dipshit will not create the world's biggest company with bullshit sharper image toys like robot bartenders.
