I was Stephen Colbert’s warm up comic for 6 years at The Colbert Report. He is the smartest and funniest of them all. I’m hoping that from now until May he and his staff will scorch the earth.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out.

Surrendering to the Trump regime's tyranny only invites more of it.

Paramount clearly seems to care more about getting a merger approved than its own integrity.

Dude in red hat: Yeah, I voted for Trump but I didn't vote to kill Medicaid or food stamps or sell out to Russia or make prives higher or wreck the economy or let disease spread almost unchecked or make an enemy of Canada or wreck Social Security or turn this country into a virtual disctatorship! I didn't vote for America to become the laughing stock of the God damned world!

Dude in blue: Yes. Yes, you did.

bar graph showing that nearly $200M was cut from STEM education grants, about $40M from social and behavioral sciences, then less from computing, then geosciences, then biological science, then engineering

Just what did those NSF terminations attack? Education mostly and predictably. Data from grant-watch.us/nsf-data.html, plot created by Joe Champion.

The Heavy-Metal Band Disturbed Covered Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” Ten Years Ago, and It’s Still Topping the Charts Sound of Silence' Is the Most Metal Song of the Past Decade': imagine that headline, and the contrarian culture piece practically writes itself.

Absolutely incredible - almost forgot about this #MusicSky

Is Texas really outlawing political memes? Not exactly. Here's what’s really going on with HB 366 Will the law make humor illegal again?

🚨 SERIOUSLY DO NOT DO THIS! 🚨

It is illegal to cut TWO valve stems off an ICE vehicle, just as illegal as cutting off THREE of them.
