In wake of anti-Amy Acton ad, the most despicable political smear ever, Katy Tur trots out Rick Wilson, the man behind anti-Max Cleland ad, now merely the second most despicable political smear ever. “MSNOW: We’re Slightly Better Than The Opposition.”

Both? I think she was secretary to all of them, those two and Robert Stack, but I’m not sure. Name of the Game is a hard series to see. There’s a Vegas-set Sammy Davis Jr episode that’s a Dead Sea Scrolls of television for me. I’ve looked all over and can’t find it.

Susan St. James was all over my TV when I was a kid. Between The Name of the Game and McMillan & Wife, she was an NBC Mystery Movie power player! Loved her. Rest In Peace.

Before they can treat it as a major story, corporate media has to first determine if the latest rape accusation against a President who a judge and jury in a court of law ruled was a sexual assaulter and who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy has any credibility.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

When RFK Jr said this there hadn’t been an overtly racist public statement made by a Republican in almost twenty minutes so it came as quite a shock.

Don't walk, run to this one. I read it last week. Absolutely awesome!

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

GOUT COP!

No one will disagree with me when I say that the great cast is one of the main reasons the original Star Trek has endured for so long, and Walter Koenig was terrific as Chekov. My heart goes out to my friend Danielle, his wonderful daughter. Rest In Peace.

In a desperate attempt to raise his poll numbers, and take a stand that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with, Trump is now claiming he too hates Bill Maher.

Why does the Cheesecake Factory refuse to distance itself from Hasan Piker?

Media extremely confused how to get Cheesecake Factory Gaffe reactions from people in diners who don’t eat at the Cheesecake Factory

The hot brown bread, the Cajun pasta, the chocolate moose cheesecake — I love me some Cheesecake Factory, but it was still a good line.

Really dig the new doc about my dear friend @mariabamford.bsky.social. Unsurprisingly, every single clip of her comedy is hilarious. And I’m so happy her Late Late Show spot was shown in its entirety. In my opinion, it’s the greatest six-minute late-night stand-up set ever. I love you, Maria.

It’s a cozy Juice Box #Caturday.

Their meal together was so enjoyable, Trump has agreed to be a guest on Bill Maher’s podcast, Club Rapist.

Love walking the Minneapolis greenway on a 75 degree autumn day. And pretty soon, when it’s cold and covered with snow, I’ll love it just as much.

Bill Maher had lunch with Donald Trump again. It’s beyond belief that someone would so willingly sit down for a meal with such a reprehensible piece of shit. But I’m sure Trump had his reasons.

Good show!

It’s not the main reason, but one reason republicans are openly racist is because they know the media will never restrict them from their platforms or impose any sort of consequence (the main reason is their hearts are leprous chunks of donkeyshit)

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

Useful context for this and the other clips @atrupar.com is posting this morning: The president is a rapist.

Don’t tarnish a person‘s reputation based on only one thing they did. Okay, sure, Amy Acton’s mother is a child-abusing pedophile protector. But that’s not all she is! She also kills kittens. So don’t be so quick to judge.

The live streaming execution is not happening after all because the administration and political party that always sides with pedophiles and rapists does not want to come off as inhumane.

working title for my latest

Have no memory of living in a world without Tom Skerritt being in lots and lots of movies and TV shows. He was always, always, always really good in everything he did. Rest In Peace.

“There’s no difference between the Democratic and Republican parties” — Matthew McConaughey.

He might not get elected Governor of Ohio, but that just means SNL will be able to book its first guest host of 2027.

I have two cat carriers. Normally, Billy and Juice Box hang out in them separately. But tonight they decided to squeeze in together and share space in one. For me, it’s next-level awwwww.

Good news for Ramaswamy: thanks to his bold pro-pedophile, anti-rape victim stance, he is now the frontrunner to become Governor of Epstein Island.

October is bustin’ out all over.

I'm reading #GoutCop currently. Very funny like all your other books I've read. And like every moment you were on screen in #MST3K and like all 5 Cinematic Titanic show we went to and the DVDs. And all The Mads Are Back online shows. You get the idea. 💚😂🖖

GET IT!!!

Yeah, we know.

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

One time Entertainment Tonight did a segment on MST3K and they had us riff a few minutes from their show. Crow T. Robot on John Tesh: “Look at that head! He’s got a big ole head!” Have to say, Tesh was gracious and a good sport about it.
