You're truly an adult when you base all of your decisions on how tired you're likely to be in any given situation.

It's not even his acting that's off-putting. He's great in Dallas Buyers Club, for example. Just has a creepy, cult leader energy

There's a split second at the start of the Tron: Ares trailer where you're like this could be good.

Then Jared Leto appears, and you know instantly, that it will not, in fact, be good.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Didn't wish him dead. But if I did, it wouldn't be for his beliefs, it'd be because he's a cunt.

Sending Tony Blair to administer a peace plan in Gaza is like having Jeffrey Epstein run an all-girl's boarding school.

The Gaza ceasefire is obviously good news and a relief but three things need to happen: Palestinians need to be key partners in the process, it needs to end in statehood and the rest of the world needs to hold Israel accountable for their genocide.

If you need another reason to see One Battle After Another, it's that it'll have the worst people on the Internet pissing blood because a film that's woke garbage* is making money.

*It's not, but they have the media literacy of those moths that bash their heads into the bright light of a TV screen.

"So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?"

I said, "Yes, that's right."

This is absolutely horrific. To attack a synagogue and kill people, and that too on Yom Kippur. Vile and inexcusable.
