I feel like we’re about to get the Trump of Popes.

I'm so accustom to not watching TV that I missed the whole opening night of the #SNL50 celebration.

12-year-old me would be so, so disappointed.

If I’m not mistaken, Serena Williams and Drake used to date.

Me, an adult with ADHD, a few minutes after I let my dog out.

So the response to everything that’s happening is to start saying “broligarchs”?

I was confused by the first sentence but the second sentence cleared it up.

I’ve really enjoyed watching JJJ become unguardable.

Last night, I learned the secret ingredient in Dairy Queen’s honey bbq sauce is apparently laxatives.

“That’s a nice country you got there. It’s be a shame if something were to, uh, happen to it.”

It’s that time again! The ornament on my mother-in-law’s tree that I thought for years was a surfing baby Jesus.

I almost have more @bsky.app followers than people I am following, a social media rarity for me.

We see this all the time in Tennessee: they underfund government-funded programs (like public schools), then say “see? they don’t work” — then try to privatize them to benefit their donors (aka vouchers).

The playbook is obvious.

This is 100% accurate.

“Privatizing” the post office.
“Privatizing” public schools.
Tax cuts for the rich & corporations.
Etc.

I wrote this about open mic #comedy in #Memphis, and I'd love for people to read it. joseph-thomas.com/2024/12/09/o...

The #Celtics fans chanting “Refs you suck” right now is funnier than any joke I could ever write.

I wasn’t worried for a minute.

Ugh FINE I'll show up to work "sober" to lead the department of defense. YES without "sexually assaulting" everyone, christ anything else?

her: So, what do ya think about kids?

guy who invented banana flavored candy: I hate them.

It's so darkly funny that he isn't like "I will quit being a destructive alcoholic." He's saying he will only do that if he is put in charge of the world's largest and most important bureaucracy. Otherwise: fuck it, party time

You wouldn’t know it by looking at this list, but I’m a 42-year-old white man.

We’ve all been there.
