Carlos and I watched the return of Kimmel to the airwaves on Tuesday night and he killed his monologue, making it funny and emotional and heartfelt and defiant. We stayed watching after the monologue when he had actor Glen Powell on and Carlos’ utter lack of Pop Culture knowledge first had him asking if Powell was a football player.

“No, he’s an actor.”

“But he’s related to Colin Powell?”

“You think he’s related to Colin Powell because they have the same last name?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, by your logic then you’re related to Kamala Harris.”

“aaaaaaah, Cousin Kamala.”

Seriously; he’s lucky I didn’t have my cartoon frying pan!

This Tuxedo Says is from April 2021:

What? Y’all know Tuxedo has the Common Sense. It’s a shame the two-legged inhabitants of the planet don’t always follow his lead.

Just a note to Erika Kirk, if you feel the need to have merch tables at your husband’s memorial, you are a grifting piece of sh*t.

That’s all.

There are people who cannot start their day without a cup of coffee and other people that also need cakes to get motivated.

A little lesson in facts for the dumbasses trying to handle healthcare in this country: Autism was first discovered in 1911 but Tylenol wasn’t invented until 1950.

Release the Epstein files.

Here's a photo of Good Christian and Minister of Government Lies, KaroLying Leavitt, who demands people treat her racist rapist con man boss with respect, ignoring protocol while in England with Cankles and wearing an off-the-shoulder, off-the-rack, bargain bin, Casual Corner cheap flimsy piece of cloth to a royal dinner and decided it was good to allow her nipples some exposure.

The headlights were on but no one's driving.

While honoring Chris Wallace at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Arnold Schwarzenegger tried making a joke about ex-wife Maria Shriver, saying:

“I know a lot about journalists. I’ve been interviewed—you can imagine, in my lifetime—by thousands and thousands of journalists, but not only that, I was also married to a journalist. [And] the only difference between Chris and Maria is that Chris has never taken half my money.”

Arnold forgot to mention that his wife took half his money because [A] California is a community property state and [2] She found out after nearly 25 years of marriage that her husband had been schtupping the housekeeper and the pair had a grown son.

Oh Arnold, you should have kept your mouth and your pants zipped.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $70 million to the UNCF, as the nation’s largest private provider of scholarships to minority students works to raise $1 billion to strengthen all 37 of its Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCuS].

The gift is one of Scott’s largest single donations ever and among the first to be publicly disclosed in 2025. Famously private, Scott only discusses her donations through her website and does not confirm them until after the recipients do.

Be a MacKenzie and not a Bezos.

I’m just putting this out there: if a story breaks about a man flattened with a cartoon frying pan by his husband because every single morning he sings and dances to that BK jingle:

♫ ♪ At BK, have it your way. You rule. ♪ ♫

It wasn’t me.

From 10/20 … Tuxedo wished no ill will for the former and current Occupant of the White House but felt he should have suffered like the average American with the virus.

So, the GOP says a Gun Registry is too hard to do, but registering Autistic Americans is information we need to have.

Oh GOP, kindly f**k all the way off.

I love that Diana Ross showed up  to the Met Gala and stopped the carpet in that fabulous hat and giant coat that was embroidered with the names of her five children and eight grandchildren, but the best part is when Christian Siriano noted that her dress was one from her own closet like she was sitting home in Connecticut and thought:

“I think I’ll go to the gala.”

And slay.

PS Of note is that 81-year-old Diana Ross is on a world concert tour.

The Felon wants to reopen Alcatraz, which has been closed since 1963, to house prisoners. May I suggest we turn Mar-Illegal into a prison since it already has one convicted felon there.

And it already has the guard tower …

There are those who say you shouldn’t have sand in your cakes and those who say sometimes it okay … which side do you fall on with these specific cakes?

Something to ponder … JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s championship trophy during White House celebration … JD Vance visited the Pope who died the very next day … JD Vance visited India and then a terrorist attack occurred and wear broke out … JD Vance endorsed his brother for mayor of Cincinnati and his brother lost 83% to 11%.

Stay away from JD Vance. And I’m not just talking to the furniture.

Speaking of the Met Gala, Andrew Scott nailed the assignment of the theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Bold color and a celebration of Black dandyism on a hot gay man. And while just looking at those shoes hurts my feet, they are fabulous!

Win, win.

In case you were wondering why the Resistance keeps targeting Target, here’s why … the average Target Team Member in America earns about $3,044 per month which means the Target CEO earns $2,188,636 a month.

Yeah, no wonder Target is anti-equity.

Aleksa Gavrilović's story began when he got scouted by a modeling agency while pursuing his dream of becoming a lawyer but … Would You Hit It?

Good News Friday: Another Athlete Sits Down

Last week the big sports news was about a football player sitting down when Colin Kaepernick chose to sit out the playing of the National Anthem in protest of racial inequality in America. But there was another football player who sat down recently, for an altogether different reason.

Travis Rudolph, a wide receiver for Florida State University, was visiting Montford Middle School in Tallahassee with several of his teammates and, while walking through the cafeteria, he saw a young boy, Bo Paske, sitting alone. Rudolph grabbed a slice of pizza and asked Bo if he could join him.

Bo said, “Sure, why not.”

And so Rudolph sat with Bo, and talked with Bo, and learned that Bo loves Florida State and football; he also learned that Bo suffers from autism, which is why, most days, he eats alone since the other kids won’t share a lunch table with him.

After school that day, Bo told his mother, Leah, that he’d met Travis Rudolph and that Travis ate lunch with him. Leah nearly cried, realizing for that one day she hadn’t needed to worry about Bo eating alone, and she took to Facebook to share Bo’s story and thank Rudolph:

"I'm not sure what exactly made this incredibly kind man share a lunch table with my son, but I'm happy to say it will not soon be forgotten. This is one day I didn't have to worry if my sweet boy ate lunch alone, because he sat across from someone who is a hero in many eyes."

Leah also shared her anxieties in her Facebook post about middle schools and kids with autism, and how she worried for Bo:

"Sometimes I'm grateful for his autism. That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think, I hope, it shields him. He doesn't seem to notice when people stare at him when he flaps his hands. He doesn't seem to notice that he doesn't get invited to birthday parties anymore. And he doesn't seem to mind if he eats lunch alone. It's one of my daily questions for him. Was there a time today you felt sad? Who did you eat lunch with today? Sometimes the answer is a classmate, but most days it's nobody."

But not that day; that day Travis Rudolph decided to sit down, and he made a silent statement, and he made a new friend.

Once the story went viral, as often happens when someone does something kind — which is a whole other story about why we’re shocked by kindness — Travis kept up his friendship with Bo and last week he gave Bo an honorary jersey — one with Travis’s number on it, but with Bo Paske’s name, too — and a pair of tickets to a Florida State game, where Bo and his mother watched Florida State beat Mississippi from the sidelines.

It wasn’t much … a chat over lunch … a free shirt … a football game … but it meant the world to a sixth-grader who often eats alone.

And all it took was for Travis Rudolph to sit down.

A Beautiful Mind

Diagnosed with autism at an early age, Stephen Wiltshire's talent for drawing emerged as a way of expressing himself. Just this past week he unveiled his panorama pen drawing of the New York City skyline, drawn entirely from memory after a twenty minute helicopter ride.
Yes. From memory.
It's an unbelievably intricate picture, with details of every building sketched in to scale, including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. Unbelievable what the mind allows one to do.
