Lots of new people on here so I thought I’d say hi! I’m an NYC based comedic performer, writer & DJ. I teach comedy at Second City and have written for Sesame Workshop and Archie. I’ve been producing, directing and performing with Story Pirates since 2007. I’m thrillingly gay.

Zoran’s win is a sign. It’s a manifestation of the will of the people, saying ‘no more bullshit.’ We’re sick of the establishment ‘left’ that every other first world democracy would consider center-right.
Do you want cool shit like Canada/Australia have? Elect more people like AOC & Zoran.

When I grow up I want to be just like Ralph

hellgatenyc.com/election-day...

An 85-year-old man in a wheelchair named Ralph was pushed out of the polling site by his health aide. "I voted for Mamdani because all of my friends on the Upper West Side voted for him," Ralph said. "I think he's cute too, but that's not why I voted for him," he added, prompting a laugh from his aide.

I would argue that a Chicago/Toronto/NYC co-pro (all 3 Second City locations) would be really daring and interesting in this current moment.

Great to meet comedy and music expert and total bon vivant/raconteur/ fellow Canadian @pulmyears.bsky.social at my place of work tonight, Second City. I can’t wait to dig into his new book about John Candy!

this is what happens when you make the Looney Tunes free for all. access to the Looney Tunes is a human right. Tubi should be a public utility.

Animation on HBO Max @animationonmax.bsky.social · 11d

According to Tubi's head of acquisitions, "LOONEY TUNES" has become one of their "top-ten best-performing series," and is popular with viewers across generations.

He says they are in "active negotiations" to ensure that Tubi can be the home of Looney Tunes for "quite a while — likely years."

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.

this moment was so powerful—an unyielding reminder that the people of the city, not kathy hochul, sets the new political agenda

I stand corrected! Looks like Yarn still exists and the stories are still up! Cool!

Louie Pearlman (the nice and alive one) @louiepearlman.com · 23d

Those stories were really fun to write! I wish people still had access to them. A casualty of all these storytelling apps coming and going. I’d love to work with the Archie characters again!

The T is Tsilent @stevenstaples38.bsky.social · 23d

A few years ago, when storytelling apps were hot, I wrote a few licensed Archie Comics horror stories and I am still endlessly amused that they did this well. I wrote three out of four of these, along with @louiepearlman.com

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

I mean. I would kinda like that if that were true?

Apparently holographic AI Stan Lee will be “faithful in spirit, context and intent.”

I have it on good authority that Stan once walked by a strip club and exclaimed “Let it be known that Stan Lee is not a homosexual! Let it be known that he loves the ladies!”

Will the AI be like that?

A likeness of the late Marvel legend will pose for photos and engage in short conversations — for a price.
