In 2026, we've added a tag to all our shows that inform people they're made without the use of generative AI.
I'm calling on other creators to do the same. People should know if they're reading the thoughts of the person they're attributed to or artificial thoughts generated by a plagiarism-bot.

"My health insurance is going up $450/month."
"How about a one time payments of $2000. Will that help?"
"Not much, no."
"Good, because we're lying about that."

We were all excited about our checks and balances, but it turns out that all it takes to overthrow our democracy is literally the dumbest one of us trying even a little bit.

I reject the whole "forward slash, back slash" distinction. Half of both of them are forward and half of both of them are back. By its very nature, a slash is half forward and half back. Who the fuck decided that was gonna be the nomenclature?

The Progressive ads with "backups in real life" seem to misunderstand what a backup QB does. It's pretty rare for a backup QB to come into a game because the other QB isn't doing a good job.
I demand ads where the best friend gets a concussion or the husband backing up the trailer gets turf toe.

Fucking hell. Trump is begging for a participation trophy, when he didn't even participate. That's just pathetic.

My idiot congressman just introduced a resolution to force the Nobel prize committee to give Trump a peace prize. Instead of, you know, working to reopen the government.

In response to not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, the WH released a statement that said of Trump that "there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will."

Consider this: Trump is the only person who has ever managed to look like a failure for not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Most people have never won the Nobel Peace Prize (and almost all of them are more deserving of it than Trump), and yet he's the only one who FAILED to win it.
What a loser.
What a loser.

Republicans are awfully proud of the way they moved Cracker Barrel's stock price from $62 to $55 by throwing a hissy fit. But, like, the younger, more progressive generation that they're so scared of managed to move it from $175 to $62 just by not wanting to eat there.

Social media teaches us a lot about ourselves. Like, for example, without social media, I'd never even have suspected that my favorite thing in the world to watch is people mowing lawns in fast motion.
