I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to the death my right to make fun of you for saying it.
I've updated my ranked list of 2025 movies I've seen, if this is something that interests you (no worries if not). letterboxd.com/ericdsnider/...

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is about a vengeful, paranoid, impotent, anti-woke tyrant whose followers fear him and overlook all his hypocrisies… and then he dies! Very inspiring.

When I was a kid my grandma had a stroke and couldn’t work at my grandpa’s store much anymore, so I came in and helped out. I am willing to do the same for Pres. Musk if his helper has had a series of debilitating strokes.

We're working hard on November's list (which will be another doozy, piggies), but until then, here's October's. #LestWeForgetTheHorrors
Lest We Forget the Horrors: An Unending Catalog of Trump’s Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes: October 2025: Atrocities 467-529
Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We...

There are these two gay fellows who have a podcast I see clips of on Instagram. One of them is normal but the other one is profoundly stupid (book dumb and street dumb) but doesn't know it. It doesn't seem to be a bit. I can't express how much I hate him. The clips are the opposite of advertising.

I don't know how anyone has the energy to be interested in more than one halftime show per year.

A lot of you have been waiting to check yourselves till *after* you have wrecked yourselves, in direct contradiction of the advisory. We have these sacred texts for a reason.

As a confirmed bachelor with few domestic skills, I am never given any obligations on Thanksgiving. Yet I am always included in the celebrations and eat myself silly.

Welcoming people regardless of how much they "contribute" should be a core human principle, and especially an American one.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

When I hear about beloved shows like GAME OF THRONES and STRANGER THINGS having absolutely terrible final seasons, it makes me so ~~thankful~~ (timely!) that I never watched those shows. How did I have the foresight? Who is guiding my decisions? I am blessed.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Staying on Twitter will turn you into a white supremacist, and that's not really a joke.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Verbatim conversation I heard between two men:

MAN A: Did you play any sports in school?
MAN B: No, I sustained an eye injury when I was 10.
MAN A: Doggone it!
MAN B: [details about a cornea], so no team sports for me.
MAN A: Trash!

"I sustained an eye injury"? "Trash"? Who writes this?

When I was in Amsterdam I had two kinds of experiences when someone would ask where I was from:

"The U.S."
"Yes, obviously, I meant which state?"

~ or ~

"Utah."
"Oh, you just assume I already know you're American? Typical."

Sincere post: it is one of the greatest joys of my adult life to be able to see the magic of the holidays renewed through the eyes of a younger generation.

My 24-year-old friends who I showed AIRPLANE! to last week are on an actual airplane right now, texting me AIRPLANE! jokes. If I never have children, this will suffice.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
