You’ve Never Heard of Alt-Comedy’s Favorite Writer (He Wants It That Way)

Mike Sacks’ bizarre books and podcasts have drawn a cult following among celebrities from Jon Hamm to Bob Odenkirk. And if you don’t know his name, well, that’s entirely his fault.

Idea for a movie that takes place in 1963. I don’t know yet but it’ll begin with the Four Seasons song “Walk Like a Man.” Excited.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Uday speaks. Man with no known religious conviction gives interview to paid propaganda agent of the Kremlin and describes how he is remaking Christianity. This is hysterical. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."
