I love doing standup comedy.

Here are some pictures of me doing it!

If you want to see me actually do it, you can watch “Rini” on YouTube!

Or see me this weekend at Wildcat Mansion or The Attic in Columbus or Hilarities or next weekend at The Comedy Club of Lawerence, KS!

Love and thanks, all!

White neighbors, reports from Latino and Somali businesses on Lake Street are that their numbers are down as much as 90%. Their clientele are scared to go out. We can help with this. Show up, show your support, spend money. And bring your whistles.

Homer Simpson got to design a car, Kelce and Mahomes got to design a restaurant. We get an absurdly good Liz Cook review.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The wanton destruction of USAID by Musk and his DOGE flunkies was, by definition, a criminal act and it is by far the most consequential thing done in Trump's name. Thousands are dead for no reason other than racist cruelty. Trump, Musk, Rubio, and several others belong in prison for this.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

60 Minutes: every Sunday night at nein
Dude, this is terrifying.

This week’s 60 Minutes episode is promoting two German military contractors connected to Peter Thiel.

Quantum Systems is directly funded by Thiel, and Rheinmetall has a partnership with Anduril.

This is a five alarm fire.

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.

Over 20,000 the past month alone.

Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"

In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:

Everything about the shooting at Brown is horrific & should make America ashamed of the slaughterhouse we’ve become. But I’m especially holding in my heart the parents who were eagerly planning for their kids to get home for break. Getting them holiday gifts. Planning to cook their favorite meals.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
