On March 25, my new book comes out. It's called "Bad Law: 10 Popular Laws That Are Ruining America"

This is my Bill of Wrongs.

Instead of saying "orange man bad," I drilled down on 10 laws most people like that are actually destroying us.

You were in the music video for Rihanna's song 'Bitch Better Have My Money'. What's your favourite Rihanna song?
I wasn't really aware of who she was so I had to double-check with my kids. And they were screaming in my face: "You fucking moron! Don't you know who she is?? If you don't do this I'll kill you." So I've heard a few things. I think she varies a lot; she has a broad palette of different styles.
But I have a soft spot for Bitch Better Have My Money' because, after all, I am the bitch.

WILD, right?

I was today years old when I realized that's Mads fucking Mikkelsen as the bad guy in the video of Bitch Better Have My Money

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.

Kind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...

Favor	Oppose

He's afraid to define socialism because socialism is *popular.*

That's exactly why Stalin had him ice-picked in Mexico - dude was a fanatical defender of the integrity of women's sports. No one reads history any more.

Ah yes, I remember when Trotsky wrote about how Russian workers should be replaced by low wage immigrants from China so that strong Russian boys would have more time to play girls ice hockey. It's right there in the manuscript.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

AI: Choose and perish. Trump: We don't understand. AI: Choose the form of the destructor. Trump: Super Intelligence. AI: The choice is made. All of us: Whoa whoa whoa

The Yankees were eliminated last night. Maybe I should *thank* the Mets for not dragging it out this year. :)

Mom: What are you doing? Me: Eating Taco Bell and watching YouTube videos of Malcolm X destroying white people. Mom: Why? Me: I'm hungry. Mom: WHY THE OTHER THING? Me: My brain is hungry too.
