@Variety The dude turned down Forrest Gump, surely he’s figured out how to turn down a photo with Bobert.

Dave Chappelle says he resents how "the Republican Party ran on transgender jokes. I felt like they were doing a weaponized version of what I was doing. That’s not what I was doing." "I was on Capitol Hill, and everybody ran up to take pictures with me from every congressional office. And I just take pictures with whoever asked... At first, it was CBC people. Then here comes Lauren Boebert and she said, ‘Can I get a picture?’ And I had already taken 40 pictures. I didn’t want to say no in front of everybody, but I didn’t know the phrase ‘I respectfully decline.’ So I just took the picture. And then she posted the picture and says something to the effect of, ‘Just two people that know that it’s just two genders.’ Just instantly, like, weaponized or politicized. So I got to the arena, and I lit her ass up for doing that. And she should never do that to a person like me.” (via NPR's Newsmakers) variety.com/2026/tv/news/d…

@AGoldmund Your flurry of angry responses to chuds on here is what reminds me to catch up with Hyperfixed.

God attempted to rapture me but I was too heavy. :(

My wonderful wife made me a tremendous @BrianStack153 themed birthday card!

@Trash2King Let her know, if she ever plans on doing Melbourne Comedy Festival, she can crash at ours (I haven’t asked Sarah for permission)

@ScottNoComply @TheMaineWonk If that’s your stance, why aren’t criticising the Republicans for voting for it? “I agree with these idiots” Is a weird stance.

@TheMaineWonk Apparently the commenters here can’t deduce I’m against the bill because of the government spending lol

Johnson is panicking. He doesn’t have the votes. Another Republican votes with the Democrats to block the bill… 216-204. AGAINST!

@Trash2King Sending you good thoughts, buddy.

@catturd2 @VivekGRamaswamy I know you didn’t invent running over your own dog, but sir, you perfected it.

@VivekGRamaswamy Do I really need to start listing American inventors and what the world wouldn’t have without us?

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@EmmaVigeland There was literally a fake documentary about his assassination. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_…

1) The Apprentice was incredible. Strong should win an Oscar, Stan embodies a young Trump, the period detail and costumes are great, it's both funny and dramatic, etc. 2) There were lots of Bush parody movies in '00-'08. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this feels quite different.

@jessiegender H Bomberguy has released like 2 videos.

I scheduled this tweet from the distant past of 2022 and selected a random date for it to go up. Not sure what's happening right now, but how goes it future? I hope you're all doing ok. Oh, also, Jessie of today, I hope you're doing well too. Your past self sends you love & hugs.

@GoddammitZammit Best news!

It’s been a journey and a half. Overjoyed to finally meet the little one

@sesamestreet Hey Grover! I made this statue of you as a gift for my wife!

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

@mrtonymartin Jimmy James, the only good billionaire.

If you ever mention you’re watching 90s sitcom #Newsradio, someone will say ‘Isn’t Joe Rogan in that?’. Yes, but it also has this great character.

@HollywoodHandle The current Zemeckis couldn’t make a good Roger Rabbit today. Hasn’t made a good film in two decades.

Robert Zemeckis says there is a “very good” script for ‘ROGER RABBIT 2’ but the film will likely never happen. “The current Disney would never make Roger Rabbit today. They can’t make a movie with Jessica in it.” (Via: youtu.be/E1o4eNo_9ts?si…)

All NBA games played on Halloween should be played with a pumpkin instead of a ball.

@mickpalmer25 @purplepingers You’re doing the meme, sir.

@purplepingers This same colony that educated you and where you own a home? That same colony?

The colony had its first fast food strike in history today. Things are changing.

@Trash2King *whispers* oh my god, congrats you guys. Sending love from Australia.

@Trash2King Stand back in JCVD, it’s the Tussled of Brussels

@oldcityguardian @stillhere_415 He’s clearly a leftist, criticising the Liberals from the left. And that’s a valuable position. It led to a lot of nice stuff.
