If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

My favorite too.

The episode is based on an Ernie and Bert routine where Ernie can’t hear Bert because he has a banana in his ear, which I suppose had the same logic problem

Is he the one who wants to hang women who get abortions?

Just as after 9/11, we're going to track down who is responsible and send Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari to their house

"Scott Bessent said that his department is launching a War on Terror-style campaign against progressive nonprofits."
“Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,” Bessent said. “Just as after 9/11, and Osama bin Laden... was captured... we are going to track down who is responsible for this.”

Great tour! Really glad I had a chance to see it.

WGA has a hotline you can call so you don't do this

Well, if you jerk off enough it prevents prostate cancer, didn't think of that, did you, Luddite

How would they be making sure everyone shows up on time and stays for the whole thing? If you have a million protesters, how many supervisors do you need to hire?

If this actually happens on Monday, I’ll be very impressed

Ooh, saw the replay. None! Not great pass from Luchanko

How much do you put on Hathaway for not getting a stick on the pass?

Definitely a big choice to stop hiding it and put him in short-sleeve shirts for the first time! And have him lifting weights in his office to explain the change.

I guess it's to serve the River story that he feels like everyone is upstaging him?

Lew Morton @lewmorton.bsky.social · 5d

He put on all that muscle between seasons, right? I can only imagine the producers’ shock when he showed up for first table read built like a linebacker

This is a weird poll because of the word ‘blame’. I think the Dems have a lot of agency in causing a shutdown, but I support what they’re doing, and think the Rs unfairly backed them into their position. How would I answer the poll?

Every time something like this happens, I report it to the ADL as a hate incident
