Fred Armisen is the most organically funny person I know and hanging out with him is a joy. I like being on Vish Khanna's podcast regardless, but doing it with Fred was a special pleasure. Shout outs to

John Mulaney, Chris Redd and other celebrity comedians and writers are coming together for the first “Letters To Santa” Gala in Chicago. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit Poverty Allev…
Posting one last time to share info about the Letters to Santa benefit show with John Mulaney Dec 5. Letters to Santa is the best thing I ever get to do and this show is how it raises funds, 100% of which go directly to poor families. https://t.co/EbosYbdba9

Biden's approval rating is 37%, a record low, one year from election. If those who claim to be concerned about Trump winning would switch their energies from shaming fellow Democrats to pressuring the party to propose a viable candidate, we may still be able to avoid Trump.

Hey I had a terrible idea so instead of not doing it, I did it. Yes, it's dog shit, but I used a computer. I'm going to do a funny picture of Hitler baking cookies next.

Hitting themselves in the face with a wrench, but only because nobody handed them a hammer.
The White House just compared “anti-Israel protesters” — the phrase used by the Fox News reporter in his question — to the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville. https://t.co/t9oEu6YyOe

Guys who are sold on their "just right" centrism all turn into complete fucking psychos about this, far beyond feeling any urgency about stopping the demonstrable advances of the hard right.
A lot of politics writers and thinkers want to laugh the possibility that anything bad could come of this, but I do not want the left-of-center to replicate, even partially, the unhinged radicalization spiral that took place on the right

And in many instances, projects without p.r. representation. Not gonna say it was a level playing field — such things rarely exist these days —- but coverage based purely on merit was not unusual at BC. It’s a shit day for what’s left of music criticism and music discovery alike

It is immensely gratifying that the GOP house caucus, tasked with naming one of their number whose sole qualification is to not be a completely disgraceful fucking monster... cannot come up with anybody.

When they kill someone, the tactic is not killing, it's creating the expectation you will be killed. They want the common understanding to be that they will kill you.
Cops execute an activist sitting with their hands in the air, after an officer was likely shot by another cop—now the DA says the shooting was “objectively reasonable” and will not press charges. Meanwhile area activists who helped with a bail fund face bogus terrorism charges.

If somebody uses the phrase "Bayesian priors" it's best to brace yourself to hear some real primo bullshit.

I don't get it. Guy is in shape and looks after himself. If you told me this was a top selling christian contemporary singer or youth outreach minister I would buy it.
