Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

Left: Johnny Cash wearing a pink feather boa, a sparkly gold ascot, and gold glasses with pink feathers at the temples.

Right: Elton John in a black cowboy hat and leather jacket over a plaid shirt.

Here's Craig Ferguson's DOCTOR WHO cold open from waaaaaaay back in 2011, which feels like several lifetimes (and regenerations) ago...

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

“Baby in her placenta” is pretty bad for a HHS secretary but it’s arguably worse for a guy with six kids. It’s impossible to not learn this stuff as a dad if you’re even remotely paying attention just once.

"Sun God came up to me. Big guy, tears in his eyes. 'Sir!', he says to me. 'Sir! You must defeat the Moon God! He's too powerful! Only you can do it!' I said, okay, we're looking into it. The Sun God thing. I think we'll do it. He's nasty, nasty guy the Moon God. Tough. Tough guy."

Such an arresting shot. The Dodgers don't just stream around him. They *weave* around him. Betts begins skipping, while this man regrets ever having picked up a baseball.

Baseball, man. Designed to break your heart.

Been a tough couple of weeks so just a reminder for myself from my first tattoo.

Tattoo of a green alien face with his tongue sticking out and his hands raised up. Below are the words Don’t Panic. This is a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Took tomorrow "off"? I've been working way more hours than I think I'm supposed to. And it isn't clear how leave works. I'm tired.

The way people in this bar were ready to riot because they couldn’t watch the first inning of the Brewers game…

Blacking sports out in local markets- making them accessible only through sites or channels you have to pay for- is absolute garbage.

Baseball. Football. Basketball… 🧵

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

They told the Pope "shut up and dribble" 😭😭😭

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 19h

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.
