I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

My Congress person just called me (a constituent) to join a live call with reps from Covered California Health, to explain why our insurance is about to go up and why. They’re taking questions. This is very good. Lots of information.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

"Every time we have been attacked w/pepper bullets or tear gas or pepper spray … it has felt like it came from anger that we were there, and not from any determined safety need or protocol," said Rev. Hannah Kardon, who has been shot w/pepper bullets _multiple times_. "They are unhinged."

if you're in Vancouver I can personally testify to Bard on the Beach, every season is banger after banger after banger. I always go to at least see one play and sometimes end up going multiple times a season.

I'm absolutely convinced what makes Shakespeare inaccessible to a lot of audiences isn't the iambic pentameter old english it's the fact most plays are rehearsed as spoken verses and not acted with meaning

because when actors actually act out what they're saying it is So Clear

This is pure racism.

They hate that his name is Benito Cortez .

And it’s not always rage cycle

It’s about camping il their base to feel entitled and abusive to anyone similarly named

Ironically, for a POTUS complaining about the "rewriting" of history, he just did a MAJOR rewriting of history or should I say a complete REIMAGINING.
