Last Week Tonight with John Oliver@lastweektonight.com

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

I hesitate to say it, but Loh Akish may be our most accessible LangTime language, both in terms of phonology and grammar. It suits our seafaring (or lakefaring) foxes well!

Loh Akish is the sister language to Haughòf, our dog language, so comparing the two is a lot of fun, as their current forms are so different. For our current season (season 9) we’re creating a squirrel language. We stream at 2 p.m. Pacific every Thursday (including today!) if you want to join in!

On balance "AI" wastes everybody's time, and it's only going to get worse.

Sometimes it really does feel like we're watching the end of Hollywood. Not even "as we know it" but the end. It's going to be three companies all trying to do everything they can to work creatives to the bone and fuck us out of money while pumping out IP slop.

Catastrophe is right. Settling like this is also saying "Yes, we think it's antitrust, but if you pay enough we'll let you do it anyway."

This will be a catastrophe for both filmed entertainment and news, and it's a great shame that the California AG caved. Trump and his people will celebrate this news today. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/b...

In case you were curious, here’s the transcript for Emilia Clarke’s #HighValyrian speech at the #Emmys. I received the request two days prior, so she really only had a day to work on it. #conlang Jemme ilagon rīgles ezīmītsōs issa— "It is an honor and a privilege to be amongst you all—“

of the many things to love about Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, here's one: It's as if every time they heard someone say, "you're going too big," they went BIGGER. Big presence, big hair, big charisma, big everything. Pouring one out for two artists who just WENT FOR IT and never apologized for that.

#Supergirl has been out a week or so, so I figured it’s time to release all the #conlang dialogue @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I translated. Lots of #Kryptonian plus three new full languages and four conlang sketches. A LOT of work, but a lot of fun! archiveofourown.org/works/88310311
