The other day I got sucked down a Facebook video hole of Australian comics telling one another dad jokes, and if you laughed you got a point, and the most points won was the loser … cuz Dad Jokes are notoriously groan-worthy, not guffaw-worthy. So, anyway, I came out of the office and went into the living room and told Carlos all about my trip in Dad Jokes, and he said:

“Gad Jokes?”

“No. Dad Jokes.”

“Gab Jokes?”

“Dad Jokes!”

“Bad Jokes?”

“No!!! Dad Jokes… like, ‘I went to the doctor the other day and he told me I had to stop masturbating. I asked him ‘Why,’ and he said, ‘Because I’m trying to examine you.”

And Carlos said:

“You had a doctor’s appointment?”

This is my life.

The Republicans are saying the FBI can raid your house at will because they really are  afraid they're next.

Georgia GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker is criticizing the sweeping climate, health-care and deficit-reduction bill signed by President Biden claiming it includes wasteful spending to combat global warming and asking:

“Don’t we have enough trees around here?”

Herschel says Georgia’s “good air decides to float over” to China, replacing China’s “bad air,” which goes back to Georgia, where “we got to clean that back up.”

Oh, Georgia, this and Marjorie Taylor Greene? You really wanna be that state?

A few weeks after putting on an unauthorized production of Hamilton and lacing it with homophobic teachings, Pastor Roman Gutierrez of the nondenominational church The Door McAllen in Texas has apologized:

“We acknowledge there are lawful avenues to obtain a license to stage properties which we did not pursue. And it is never permissible to alter an artistic work such as Hamilton without legal permission.”

Liars and plagiarists. The church has also been ordered to pay damages to Hamilton‘s creators who will be donating the money to a local LGBTQ+ organization.

God is looking at you, Pastor Gutierrez and She is not happy.

I saw this outfit and instantly thought it looked like someone dropped Dorothy’s house on a runway model and not the Wicked Witch of the East.

Colorado state Senator Kevin Priola has decided to switch political parties and become a Democrat because of the GOP’s refusal to condemn The Big Lie. And that throws a huge monkey-wrench into the GOP plan to flip the Colorado Senate Red.

Sorry, not sorry.

Big Liar candidate for governor of Arizona, Kari Lake, endorsed Jarrin Jackson for Oklahoma state Senate last week, even though Jackson has a long history of anti-Semitic and homophobic statements, saying things like “being gay is ‘disgusting” and that the LGBTQ+ “lifestyle” is a “gateway to pedophilia;” he also said he is not “beholden to Jews.”

And quicker than you can say Kari Lake endorses people she knows nothing about, Lake took her endorsement back lest she look like an anti-Semite or a homophobe, though she still looks like a pandering QAnon asshat.

Sean Higgins, a Burlington County man who served as a youth pastor has been indicted on charges of sexually exploiting underage boys, deceiving them into sending him explicit images, then extorting them into performing lewd acts so he could watch and record them remotely.

But, please, tell me how drag queens are grooming kids.

It’s funny when you take his actual words and modify them just a little and then  use them against him, isn’t it?

The Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas has decided that sections of the book Life Is So Good is inappropriate to teach at a middle school. The book was published in 2000 by George Dawson, the grandson of a slave, who wrote and published the book after learning to read at the age of 98, and it looks back on Dawson's life, discussing what things were like in the 20th Century, including topics like lynching, racism, segregation and civil rights.

And that’s inappropriate in Texas. But the richest part of this nonsense is that some of the students who won’t get to read the book attend the … wait for it … it’s epic and totally Texas … the George Dawson Middle School.

Yes, the school has banned a book written by the man for whom the school was named.

Australian born Nicholas Cunningham is a dancer and choreographer and actor, and he’s kind of giving me Armie Hammer hotness without the cannibalism, but this is less about that and more about: Would You Hit It?
