Imposter syndrome is ego in disguise. No one thinks you’re a fraud because no one was even thinking about you at all.

It's great to have serious legislators at work like @randpaul, who really lays into his fellow Republican Sen. @MarkwayneMullin, currently up to become head of DHS. @SenMullin is a complete meathead who shouldn't be a crossing guard, much less a cabinet-level secretary. @SenRandPaul was seriously injured when attacked in 2017 by a deranged neighbor. Mullin made light of the incident and, in a series of pathetic displays of obviously fake and performative masculinity, is constantly calling out the equivalent of "It's go time!," like the geriatric Izzy Mandelbaum from Seinfeld. Replacing the corrupt and incompetent Kristi Noem at DHS shouldn't be tough, but Mullin isn't even up to that task.

I wrote about the convergence of standup, inside jokes, and tribalism:

So many people die in hospitals. That's why I never go to a hospital. It's the safest way to live.

So many performers are fixated on building a larger audience without considering the *type* of audience. I get it, I sometimes get jealous of comedians who can sell way more tickets than me. But then I see their crowd and I'm like, "Oh, I'd rather not."

Deep diving on Saturday Night Fever: Since the Bee Gees were not involved in the production until after principal photography had wrapped, the "Night Fever", "You Should Be Dancin'" and "More Than a Woman" sequences were shot with Stevie Wonder tracks that were later overdubbed!

Saturday Night Fever went through different titles, including Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night and Saturday Night. After the Bee Gees submitted "Night Fever," they said they disliked the title Saturday Night. Then, the final title was chosen. buff.ly/ZgryTg3

Music fans rarely clock the impact of effects pedals. One pedal often created almost the entire sound of a band/song/album. U2 with Echoplex, Jimmy Page with fuzz, OK Computer with Space Echo, Purple Rain with chorus pedal, John Lennon vox with slapback (tape delay), etc.

People used to hold up lighters at concerts and wave them but now we all just light up our cell phones and pretend that’s the same thing as actual fire when it really isn’t but also I guess everyone back then was dying of lung cancer, so I guess life is full of tradeoffs.

A great question for comedians: What’s a strange thing you just know is true that other people don’t believe? 👇 buff.ly/GRdyban

I love when black people sing about Jesus but I can’t take it when white people do it. Aretha? Hell yeah. The Killers? Nah.
