Comedy is ok but clown is more difficult.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

The American Stupid has thrived in all eras, but unprecedented subjectivity, the demise of consensus expertise, rising functional illiteracy, and the collapse of all social infrastructure not motivated by profit have conspired to make this The Time of the Stupid.

They were very unfair to my friend Payakan. It's really a shame. "The outcast Tulkun," they called him. But he was always very good to me.

It's cool that the most beautiful song in the history of American music is about a guy fixing a power line

I can't claim to be a massive Tom Stoppard fan (besides R&G are Dead and The Last Crusade, I'm not that familiar with his work), but I've always found this to be a lovely evocation of theatre as an act of communal imagination—a place for magic.

Forgot to post this yesterday because I’m an ingrate, but I have been, am, and will always remain thankful for the many thoughtful, loyal, generous, and patient listeners and friends who allow me to do this show. Thank you for answering when I rang the bell.

I don’t have nearly as much time to work on fiction projects as I’d like, which is a shame because I’ve got an extremely cool story brewing that’s probably the closest thing I’ll ever do to New Gods. Y’all are going to have a blast with it 2-5 years from now (sooner if I find a Medici-like patron)

I’ve never been able to do an evil run in an RPG (or even a Renegade Shepard run) on account of my innately heroic character and regard for all living things

Look, I'll be the first to admit he's not a great guy—and that he loses his luster each time he shows up just to get owned—but Rasputin has incredible swag in the early Hellboy books.

It might just be a budgetary thing, but I like that Thulsa Doom's gang in the prologue of Conan the Barbarian is little more than an evil D&D adventuring party. I always appreciate when you get a glimpse of a villain's ambitious striver period before they became established.

I simply don't think independent contractors should need to go through an HR training to write a comic. Either editors should step in or they can retcon away the egregious back stories they've let stand for too long

I'm obviously not above criticizing comics creators, but I can't imagine organizing a hate campaign against one. With a handful of exceptions, these guys are lucky if they make as much as the assistant manager at your local grocery store.
