I used to think Riker was a doof, so it wasn't my fave comparison, but I've come to realize how beloved he was (and how he was one of the what-passes-for-sexy Next Gen guys) so I've come to embrace it!

next time someone tells you to let the wild rumpus start remember that farmed rumpus is actually the more responsible choice due to rumpus overfishing

My old friend and colleague Ritch Duncan has started a site/newsletter called DEATHBED (I'm a "contributing editor") publishing HORROR STORIES BY COMEDY WRITERS. It launched today with a story called "Bad Seed" by (squints at paper) "me."

Sinclair holds the ABC affiliate in my market, so they've decided what I am and am not allowed to watch.

I'm going to watch their local news hour tomorrow, make a list of sponsors, and make some calls.

Brian Stelter @brianstelter.bsky.social · 16d

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
