Che's joke during Weekend Update suggested that President Trump's theater visit could end badly, drawing a parallel to Lincoln's assassination. The audience reacted with loud cheers and applause.

On this site birthed in 1963 lays lain layed lies the location original whereabouts around here of the Berkeley Copywriter's Guild, A place where word geeks were often found with their smug understanding of grammar and their tiny worn-down blue pencils marking up all the fun words for boring ones.

The New York Times landed a big story about allegations that a hyped horror novel called Shy Girl, by Mia Ballard, had been written with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

You know, this story is a bit different, right? We always do the Bird-Magic thing where we combine the narratives of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. And really, what I wanted to do with this book was just tilt the camera a little bit differently, change that perspective and zoom in on that origin story in rural Indiana in the 1970s.

ARMY Twitter was aflutter with accusations that the warm-up comic for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon made a racist joke. He said, 'Anybody here from the North? No? Nobody?' Fans interpreted that as being directed at the band, implying that one of them was from North Korea.

The president is maybe sort of threatening/teasing that he might put boots on the ground in Iran? But Republicans can't seem to agree on whether they support that idea, or for how long, or why. The confusion comes from the top: Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary who made a big deal about turning the defense department into the department of war and refocusing on the core mission: war fighting.

This goosebump-inducing sammie appears in King's beloved spooky classic "It," as a favorite of two characters: Mike Hanlon and John Koontz. The horror of having two characters eat the same unorthodox pairing lingered with fans on Reddit, with one noting that the mere mention of said sandwich counted as among the "most horrifying" Stephen King lines.

If you don't read Nellie Bowles every Friday, you are leading a sad, barren, and empty existence. Everything she does is funny and wise. Her columns have the exact spirit of the 70's writers whom I adored and who were so damn funny-and also deeply in the know. She has been described as the lovechild of Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion and the funniest writer in America.

I saw him from the back. I said 'Sir, Sir, please can you help me, I can't get down the stairs.' She said that she explained that she was injured. Dinklage then leapt into action like a frost responder. He ran up the stairs, which were icy and he said 'Lean on me.'

At the end of 2024, Dan was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. The news of his diagnosis hit all of us hard, but Dan never lost his enthusiasm or his spirit. Some of us have worked with Dan for nearly a decade, and all of us have come to know him not just as a coworker, but as a great friend.

The injured player is, as is often the case, Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis, who sustained significant enough ligament damage in his left hand on Thursday night against Utah that he is expected to miss "a number of months," a period which any ball-savvy theoretical mathematician will tell you could mean anywhere from one to the heat death of the universe.

A crack of thunder, a flash of light, and a sulfurous mist flooded my apartment. Marax, President of Hell, stood before me. Marax entered my summoning circle, eyes burning with unholy fire, and I gave him the stack of homework to flip through while I brushed my teeth. Marax marked up the papers and fleshed out my bullet points into thoughtful feedback before I even got to my molars. Then-three hours of my life, saved!-I banished him back to Hell.

Of course I want you watching CNN and I want you listening to me on SiriusXM, but, my God, use the clicker. I don't go to bed without sampling all of the news and opinion that's all around me because it's so easy to get bunkered into, you know, a silo of your choosing and think you're getting competing opinions when, in fact, you're not.

Over the last two decades, 45-year-old library assistant John Takis has witnessed some of the most important events in modern U.S. history. He lived through the cyber paranoia of Y2K. He saw the violent, fiery destruction of the World Trade Center broadcast on television. He heard the American government loudly declare war on Iraq not once, but twice. None of these dark, confusing experiences of the early 2000s, however, could prepare him for one of the strangest - and maybe most maligned - pop culture artifacts in recent memory: the Dilberito.

From The Free Press, this is Honestly,' and I'm Bari Weiss, Dillon said as he pretended to host Weiss's Honestly podcast. Dillon then made savage fun of Weiss's politics. We started this podcast nine years ago because a white woman in Minnesota served a chicken quesadilla to a man and was immediately accused of cultural appropriation, Dillon said. That man's name was George Floyd.

Zoom out: The last 10+ years have seen the hollowing out of storied publications like Sports Illustrated and Sporting News, the end of ESPN's magazine and Grantland and the erosion of local newsrooms' sports sections before the Washington Post announcement. The New York Times cut its sports section after it acquired The Athletic in 2022 - one of the few reporting-driven publications that has emerged in the current sports media landscape.

Steve Martin Writes the Written Word is an aptly-named collection and excellent introduction to the comedian's best writings, including some new material. In another piece, he makes the list of 100 greatest books he read laugh out loud funny with fake titles such as "Omelet: Olga - Mnemonic Devices for Remembering Waitress' Names" and "Marijuana! Totally Harmless (can't remember author)."
