@BestMovieMom Characters in comedies typically don’t laugh at the jokes

To maintain the deadpan humor of The Naked Gun (1988) director David Zucker forbade the actors from acknowledging the jokes or smiling, insisting they play the ridiculous script as a serious police procedural.

@Steven_Hyden Heard the new Cut Worms? Really great, think you’d dig it

I wrote about the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, reviving my usual complaints (generational bias!) along with sharing who I voted for this year AND my "if I could wave a magic wand and induct whoever I want" ballot. tinyurl.com/b79j2afv

@CinemaTweets1 I love blocking any post that includes “There. I said it.”

Permission to speak freely? Inside Llewyn Davis is one of this century’s most under-appreciated films. There. I said it. Some of you reading this who have seen this film know exactly what I’m talking about. The Coens & Oscar Isaac made for an unforgettable combination together.

@seanmdav “…put that entire show together in just two months!!” Love how this is a tacit acknowledgement of how all around shitty it looked and played

TPUSA put that entire show together in just 2 months. Just wait until it has a full year to plan, and can start booking venues and talent years out. The woke halftime show just got nuked. Even from the grave, Charlie is owning the libs. You love to see it.

@JoelWebbon Hope they make things really unpleasant for you

This morning I was doxed… again. Phone number Email Church address Home address -Yes, I am fully aware of negative Jewish influence (Hollywood, etc), but it was White Leftists who willfully swallowed it whole. -Yes, I’m aware of the violent crime statistics as it pertains to Blacks and the concept of “per capita”, but it is White Leftists (by the thousands) who are cheering on the doxing of my address and endangerment of my children. -Yes, I’m aware of the flood of H1B visas taking away Heritage Americans’ jobs (and I’m also aware that the Somalian fraud pales in comparison to the Indian fraud), but it is White Leftists who joyfully work towards my permanent unemployment so that I cannot feed my kids. We cannot share a country with Leftists. 1) 100 million foreigners have to go back. 2) Tough on crime policies must be enacted which will disproportionately affect Blacks. 3) But lastly, if we are to have a proper country, some form of sucession seems inevitable. And for the moral side that sucedes, the 19th Amendment will have to be repealed.

@StephenM You're gonna meet the same end as all fascists.

Democrats did this every day for 4 years then, after losing an election, launched an armed resistance to stop the federal government from reversing the invasion.

@JDVance Ha. Even when the world can see you’re lying and you’re obviously just a plump little charisma deficient Yale grad in WAY over your head you still have to double down. Fascism must be stressful for you!

This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities.

@unseen1_unseen @nealsengupta Convinced this is AI. Or just a REALLY stupid fucking fascist

@nealsengupta What a racist statement. When did you become a racist or were you born that way?

Just an FYI, people do not go out in -15 degree weather to protest and try to disrupt something if they are winning. If they are winning they sit in their warm homes and laugh at the losers out protesting in -15 degree weather.

@_motherslug @fender_belly I met him once. He was nice! vulture.com/2012/04/talkin…

@fender_belly I hope he never appears. I never want to see him.

You want Pynchon to make a public appearance. I want him to finish his civil war novel.

I show off some sick moves in the new music video for Charlotte Cornfield's "Hurts Like Hell" (directed by @straintest):

@sashafrerejones Sounds good!

@Steven_Hyden @ringer Through a long grinding process of attrition you have turned me into a fan

For the newsletter, I looked back on my writing about Counting Crows over the years, from the column I wrote at age 16 for my local paper to the essay I did for @ringer last week. (Free post!) tinyurl.com/2hy9dx4t

@en_cohen Bring on the Patreon! Highest tier

An Incomplete History of Indiecast

Sad but true - fortunately, we've been anticipating this moment for a long time and hope to come back new and improved.

@Steven_Hyden @en_cohen Bring on the Patreon! Would happily pay

PROFESSIONAL NEWS: This Friday (Dec. 19) will be the final episode of Indiecast for the foreseeable future. Uproxx has discontinued production of the podcast I’ve hosted w/ @en_cohen for just over five years as part of an overall downsizing of my role with the company. (1/2)

@michaelbsacks Love this one!

RE-RELEASE! OUT NOW! Slouchers: Gen-Xpanded Edition! humorist.shop/products/slouc… Vulture (Top 5 Books of 2020): “Slouchers nails the sanctimonious, self-indulgent navel gazing of the era and its music and movies while also teasing those who fell for its insidious marketing.”

@Steven_Hyden Love it. As always.

Hey, I wrote about my favorite albums of 2025! 26 albums on the main list, 65 more on various sublists, 81 in all! Really good year overall! To quote Russell Hammond: "I dig music." uproxx.com/indie/steven-h…

@mathewclarke He’s a comedy writer making a joke

Mark Knopfler is one of the dozens of people worldwide who lives in a country that is not America

@katrosenfield 😂

@straintest if she follows me it’s a recent development, but it doesn’t matter, I am against this type of thing on principle and I’d think this was bad regardless! or in other words: YOU come on, buddy, I’m fine

Brown comes off here as a man utterly consumed by obsessive parasocial hatred, and Gersh’s decision to reward this behavior strikes me as a very bad idea

@arttavana @dash_eats Dude go back to reposting your own tweets

@straintest @dash_eats The Facebook dad energy is off the charts man lol

This is the “dirtbag leftist” sack of shit who spent two years trying to get Gersh to drop @dash_eats. While I agree that being a troll and being a mainstream actress is kind of incompatible, I do think what this loser did is a form of stalking and needs to be called out.
