So what if, and hear me out, they announce that they are *considering* nominating him for the award? They can dither forever, just provide updates every 3 or 4 months saying they are "getting closer; probably nominate in 2 weeks"...
My improv diary (talkin' to myself and making notes). Content strategy and franchise management, but no work stuff mentioned. Gardening. Pets. Gratitude. Improv. I still think MAGAts are f*tards, but won't mention it (much).

And while you're less dangerous than the other group, I feel like money is better spent on the likes of @marcelias.bsky.social @davidpepperoh.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com I'll vote for you, but don't expect me to give money.
@repnikema.bsky.social @ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov I need you all to know that I'm not supporting Dems financially right now because this guy and the old guy in the Senate are just clueless dipshits. Y'all are feckless...
MAGA Summer School tells the happy, see-no-evil story of the American Indians"
I keep hearing how we need to learn to co-exist with these twats, but I'm at a loss as to how to do that

The intelligence is, in fact, artificial.
Spoiler: it did.
In the year 2025 in the U.S., when someone confidently makes shit up, we say "Executive Orders"
OK enough NewJeans posting for now, back to regularly scheduled programming: HYRAX!
And shaken waters the martini down. Stirring is obvs better.
When Tiffany Cross referred to WH adviser Stephen Miller as a “white supremacist,” apparently, people who don’t own dictionaries were outraged Fortunately, we found someone who can clarify things
I think that's true if he's out office when he dies. If he goes now, I think Peewee German and the others sweep it away.
"There is nothing in the middle of the road except yellow lines and dead armadillos."
Things will change. I will celebrate. And also: he'll be martyred. I prefer he become disgraced first, that his name be tarnished forever as an Epstein accomplice or traitor.

I cut them off when I voted for Hillary, and then for Biden, and a few more when I voted for Harris. We don't have the same values. Might not even pray to the same god.

Pudge didn't go to Howard's after the game. Just ordered some Mr. Spot's and chilled.

Ah, well. Roll along...
Ay Kitty Zoomba?
Oh, lawd! Please (PLEASE!) tell me its name is Ziggy. #AyZiggy
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
This reminds me of polls about public schools. Some show community concern about what is being taught, but if you ask only those with children in public schools, they score higher. Ask your friends who live in cities if they are worried about trends.
Epstein files?
Fund @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com Volunteer to work polls and poll watch (this experience tends to give credibility to independent friends - harder to attack "the system" when you personally know members of "the system")
Had a MAGAt acquaintance go apoplectic about the idea of using national guardsmen to administer COVID tests and vaccines. Not because he was an anti-vaxxer (this was before magats were told to fear the vax), but because troops deployed domestically was government overreach.
a.i. isn't becoming more human, we're becoming less so.
Feels like terminal uniqueness, no? I don't know what some of those letters stand for, and I don't have to in order to agree human rights are universal.
#Improvdiary Grad show flyer just dropped (I still don't have a recognizable improv personality, still don't know what format suits me, but whatever.)
With all due respect, I feel like a lot of y'all are focusing on the nuttier things on that list and ignoring a broader point: "unhoused", "differently-abled", and "body shaming" feel made-up, inauthentic. Homeless, disabled, bullying. Speak plainly. Stop with terminal uniqueness.
Bullying is plain speak for body shaming.
God this is tiring. Some of these people want to hold onto 'unhoused' instead of homeless like a talisman. Speak plainly. Stop being terminally unique. Stop being precious.
The Cracker Barrel controversy is bewildering because: 1. No one actually goes there 2. It’s a punchline 3. Everyone just seems to be mad at the idea of change - any change - occurring 4. The right seems to identify the very existence of change as “wokeness” in some way
Sigh...
Jason Miller is the guy who slipped his mistress an abortion drugs in a smoothie, right? Has another kid by a different mistress, but refuses to pay child support?
I just think, maybe, vigorously pooh-poohing this bc *electeds* don't say these things might prevent some of your 180k followers from looking in the mirror. (The larger point - right wingers accuse elected of shit they aren't doing - still stands. But *someone* is doing. And it's harmful.)
I get your point. I think it's more common than you think/are giving credit to. Unhoused and breaking norms are just two of them. Homeless and illegal make the points better.
Not at the podiums, but man...if you don't see it in columns, posts, pleas for allyship, I'm not sure what to tell you. That stuff permeates social media.
You're kidding, right? "Birthing person", "unhoused", "incarcerated person" are used all the time. They feel presious.
Bullying makes sense where "body shaming" feels precious. We don't need a word or phrase to describe each transgression when "don't be a dick" and "stfu, they aren't hurting anything" work just fine.
#improvdiary - Wednesday Jam last night: 1. George - father of my son's best friend - joined me last night, his first jam! He did a stand up job 2. Small group (12 total), meant 3 teams of 4 for 20 minutes 3. I think I'd like to have seen that be for 10 minutes, go twice, or 2 teams
People who say AKA when they mean "that is" should be severely punished (aka, shot).
12% of homeless are autistic - we need responders with more tools than force and arrest 50% of homeless population passed through foster care system-this is a solvable problem if we had the will (On a personal note: I live in ATL and comfortably raised my kids in the city. JD is a whiny lil bitch)
Boss, de pain...
Putting money now they're going to arrest someone and Trump will be there watching for a photo op to make him look tough.
Holy fuckin white grievance, Batman... Wypipo be fragile.
Isn't the female lead the BeeGees' sister?
Because they can just do it anyway, is my guess
Brilliant
You think you're calling balls and strikes, but you're not
A friend in college quit the club soccer team and became a cheerleader. We gave him shit for it. His response was two-pronged: 1. Physically, fitness level is similar to soccer (more strength, less endurance) 2. Do you know how many beautiful women I'm in close contact with every day?
"Stephen Miller got into politics because his arms were too weak to strangle prostitutes" is a real sentence I just read and...I can't argue against it
Anybody remember?
Y'all! 😅 Also, drop him, drop him! Lol 🤣😂
A standout among gems
Who did the malls find to replace these guards?
When did you chose to be cis? Do you remember when that happened?
In 2024, Sherrod Brown lost Ohio by 3.6 points. On the same ballot, Kamala Harris lost Ohio by 11.2 points. Ohio is a red state. But if Brown similarly over-performs his party AND benefits from a backlash midterm, the seat is in play. When both those happened in 2018, Brown won.

If you haven’t seen this, it’s about time you did. Sound up!
Probably created mal-intent amongst the villagers tho...
Wholesome goodness thread
Why does this seem so clear to some of us? Just do the right thing. Not the popular thing. Not the profitable thing. Not the easy thing. Just do the right thing.
This is an important realization to make into later middle age with some sense of happiness. Draw. Improv. Sing. Dance. Know you won't look cool doing it, and that's ok.
So...there's an opening?
One thing that has sort of surprised me is that it does really seem like the desire to be ruled by a powerful fascist daddy is stronger in the median elite journalist than in the median voter.
BREAM: What does a security guarantee mean? WITKOFF: It means the US is potentially prepared to be able to give Article 5 security guarantees, but not from NATO BREAM: Does it mean boots on the ground? WITKOFF: Part of the discussion we're gonna have Monday is exactly the specifics
Ann Lamott's Shitty First Draft holds true. But also, this sounds like the justification for a.i. writing your first draft. I can't stress enough to ppl: if you suck at writing, you're even worse at editing.
Came here to say this
God's will. Also, doesn't FL prosecute for reckless endangerment of an unborn fetus? Might as well get something good out of those laws.
Keyboard assassins
"We're waiting for the readout before we know what to think" and "there were no scowls from the unqualified people in the room, so maybe it wasn't bad" are 2 really weird statements.
Ham on white?
I heard the officer is being treated at the mayo clinic...
Zactly...
Tbf, you don't know that we don't sit down. We still have images to protect, so we still make you think we're shooting from the hip
It's a game of inches...
We do know who, though: Taxpayers will lose a phenomenal amount of money. Data centers are resource-heavy, get tax abatements and special treatment, and supply about 10 low-paying jobs each.
"Even IF crime were high, this is an unacceptable solution." Stop arguing the pretext, start highlighting malevolence and unconstitutionality of the practice.

Stephen Miller Tears Up As Son Says First 14 Words
Aren't LLMs equitable to and inclusive of people who don't know wtf they're doing? Aren't they DEI for people who use DEI as a dog whistle?
This deserves more exposure
#improvdiary - jams: 1. I don't do well in frenetic jams. Lots of offers, going straight to punchline. 2. Let the scene breathe, ffs 😅 3. Two person scenes are hard. (Stay in it!)
I'm a little behind in my #improvdiary... a summary: 1. Latest class just finished. Grad show in a few weeks (venue is tough) 2. I do distinct characters, but not bold ones. I'ma think about that 3. I need to find my place, style and game. I play grounded. I don't recognize game quickly...
Same
That was July 31 in ATL...
But do they have access to ivermectin? Fish tank cleaner? They deserve cutting edge science.

So, just to clarify, the choice for homeless people is concentration camps or prison, where the cost of either one is around $4,000-$10,000 a month. Meanwhile, a $500/mo basic income in SF reduced homelessness by two-thirds. It should be considered cruel and unusual to not do Universal Basic Income
It's the reason they've built out so much capacity. We're bringing back "poor houses"
