I also learned the Giants’ rookie QB Jaxson Dart is a lifelong Star Wars fan. I’ll assume because he was named after this guy:

Picture of Jaxxon T. Tumperakki, a giant green space rabbit that is a genuine part of Star Wars.

Well, Star Wars comics at least.

The Giants were fun to watch, and not only because they won! Think I might be a Scattebro.

It’s brave of the Phillies to so proudly display their sponsorship by the Irritable Bowel Experience.

If you still support the Trump administration, who's your favorite? The old guy who sits on puppy pee pads? The one who thinks circumcisions cause autism? The lady who refuses to say that her boss didn't assualt teenagers? The snake-man who's mad people think he's 4'10"? The dude who can't blink?

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

The bill allows for teachers at all grade levels to acknowledge the existance of trans people. All education would still be age and grade appropriate. As a parent, I can share that trans kids exist and know who they are in elementary school. A bill like this would simply allow them to feel seen.

Californians, Gov. Newsom veto’d an education bill that included gender expansive language. You can call to express your disappointment, and to encourage him to still sign the remaining 8 LGBTQ+ safety & rights bills on his desk. His office’s number is 916-445-2841. I just did this. You can too.

Nope. This is A.I.‘s version of “Fetch.”

Dear @theankler.com, currently writing on two shows. This is bullshit. You’ve been scammed. Possibly by two A.I. in a trenchcoat.

Call me old fashioned, but I try to only work for folks who I can definitively say didn’t take photos with half-naked young people.

Complaining about being 4’10” on television is some real 3’10” energy.

In the same 24 hours, Steven Miller admits that Trump is a dictator while Pam Bondi refuses to say Trump didn’t rape children. This administration has RANGE. Evil range, but still range.

On top of everything else, Steven Miller is bad at improv.

A thing that One Battle After Another gets VERY right is that macho conservative white supremacists are actually fucking weirdos. It has always been that way. They are so desperate to seem cool, powerful, and in control but are ultimately fucking weirdos.

Getting AMC to concede to no trailers, no xenon bulbs, not even Nicole Kidman is Taylor Swift’s greatest flex ever.

Thanks. I don’t have an account there anymore, so I appreciate the tip.

Want kick-ass female-fueled indie grunge? Check out Gully Boys’ debut album over on @bandcamp.com. They’ve been great for years and deserve your support.

I know it's hardly a shock that there are shitheads on Twitter, but one of these shitheads is apparently impersonating me. If you are ever contacted by X's @brendanhay_, please report them. They are not me. They are full of shit.

Photo of the fake-ass account on X that's impersonating me.
