Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Waiting to hear if LA Comic Con will part ways with fellow Comikaze Entertainment co-organizer Doron Ofir who was also in the Epstein Files. The dinosaur convention can do it. Can the comic convention do it?

I think I laugh-screamed and applauded in a near empty Manhattan theater it was one of the greatest theater experiences ever because it was the same one where a guy in the back GUFFAWED at the idea that Justin Long could be a professor.

I think my favorite (derogatory) thing about Schumer’s “strongly worded letters” is that I *literally* wrote a strongly worded letter and helped change the course of history in Minnesota back in 2012, and this wrinkled prune keeps bending over backwards to let fascists rearrange his insides
Enough of Chuck's "strongly worded letters."

I'm pretty sure Rachel Maddow has been told by management via NBC legal that she is to not ever use the correct term "concentration camp" when she discussing Trump's "prison camps", because she is surely smart enough to know the difference.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis keeps a fairly low profile but on Jan 6 she was one of only 8 Senators to vote against certifying electoral votes. And her phone records were then subpoenaed in the Jan 6 investigation for very good reason. It's big for her to break with Trump now.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

Who would put David Carradine in a loincloth
In 1978, David Carradine starred in a Roger Corman produced post-apocalyptic feature from the director of Caddy Shack II. In 2026, it will be one of the four films covered in The RiffTrax Experiments! It's time for Deathsport!

PLEASE, I would really like a nice paperback of this gorgeous book, and I would like it to be in libraries, and available to readers who want print at non-limited-edition prices, and, well, I just want more of this book in the world. please.
And if any editors out there want to give this book a paper home in N. America or elsewhere beyond S. Asia, well, you know what to do. THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR won a British Fantasy Award, a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, & was nominated for the Locus Awards.

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.
