I would like to apologize to the comics community for referring to Charlie Brown as an “incel”

Just wild how establishment Dems backing the "safe" centrist choice keeps thrusting the party into chaos and crisis

I guess I don't see what's happening an individual's betrayal of her party so much as the logical extension of what that party has become

If that Facebook movie doesn't include the incident where Mark Zuckerberg killed a goat and served it COLD to Jack Dorsey for dinner... what are we even doing

I’m doing this too
I have an AI agent that logs every negative comment someone makes about me online. It then creates a profile of the person, maps all of their social connections, and finds all their emails. Tomorrow morning, my AI agent will sent out an email blast to everyone's extended social network, detailing the horrible things they've said about me.

the SNL reaction isn't "cancel culture gone wild" so much as "something the comedian and the show precisely engineered." Like, credit where credit is due

There's boundary pushing and then there's making people argue on purpose to raise your cultural currency with idiots

Shane Gillis is who he's always been, who cares. What's interesting to me is that those monologues are vetted by the show. SNL as a business has had the same kind of cultural regression as brands like Target. But people aren't mad at the show! They're mad at the guy

Maybe the person who sent this push notification is a FLOP, wonder if they ever thought of that

What a shame. Pete Davidson having a Ruth Bader Ginsburg tattoo is the funniest thing he’s ever done
Pete Davidson says he’s in the process of getting most of his nearly 200 tattoos removed: “One, they were f*ckin’ horrible. Two, it was a business decision. I hated coming into the makeup trailer three hours early to spray-paint over horrible f*ckin’ tattoos. And third, I was like, ‘I’m not this dude.’ I got these when I was in an immense amount of pain and I was trying to show people my pain.” Davidson has struggled with self-harm. “I used to cut, so some of [the tattoos] covered up the cuts,” he says. wp.me/pc8uak-1lHOn4

The Agatha Christie estate sanctioned a trash writer to publish a new Miss Marple novel set in the Swiss Alps. This is my moment. You can’t tell me nothing

This ice maker I’m looking at has a promotional photo of a child straight-up eating a bowl of ice…?

This is so honest and so sad and such a hard look at the complex legacy of the Civil Rights movement. Nikole Hannah-Jones struggles with an impossible question: Can you be selfless when you’re making choices for someone else? nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

Years ago, I saw Tate speak in conversation with Gail Etienne, Tessie Prevost, and Dorothy Prevost (Tessie's mother). Tessie and Dorothy were asked if they would do what they did again. Dorothy said yes, 100%, and Tessie said no, absolutely not.

It changed my entire understanding of the Civil Rights movement and how we talk about it, the hard choices, the ambivalence. And how much of it was specifically on Black children
