Stunning that this just HAPPENED on a show with (at that point) an audience of about 8 million people a week, in 1992. Nothing about Denise was played for laughs, except other people's reactions to her.

The thing is. Imagine if anyone spoke to you like this in real life. There's approximately a 50% chance you'd punch them in the face. Every day is such an utter fucking disgrace to the presidency.

Like clockwork, one of the first comments we'll see to a CD announcement is some variant of "Vinyl?". It's been a tough nut to crack, because no matter how much you read about the vinyl renaissance, @lalalandrecords.bsky.social still has copies of the "Goldfinger" album released in June.

I hope someone, somewhere is writing on opera based on this story.
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

A few of my favorite No Kings protest signs from Galloway, NJ. Some inflatable costumes, loud energy. We got a lot of honks which is great for our very purple area. Great job, @acindivisible.bsky.social!
