    Just pinning this tweet so when the family separation and internment techniques are used on US families after major cities start becoming permanently broken by climate disasters, they can't say "nobody saw this coming."

    Somewhere, a drunk Showtime publicity exec is trying to decide if they're happy I'm getting this out of my system now or wishing we were closer to premiere and we could use the traffic to promote the show.

    Man, all you new followers here for the hot sociopolitical takes are going to be very confused about the enormous number of references to cons and heists, comics, role-playing games and and World War I.

    Today Trump claimed he will seize large swaths of land from private citizens at gunpoint and declare a “state of emergency” to build a wall without Congressional approval. In the face of tyranny, Republicans are outraged ... by a freshman Member of Congress using profanity.

    Calling someone a mother fucker is just powder room talk.

    That set sucked, which you can tell because of all the professional comedians online squinting and sighing and a bunch of fucking punters defending it.

    As a former stand-up for 15 years who performed thousands of shows, appeared a half-dozen times in international comedy festivals, had a one man theater show, got a deal for my own ABC sitcom, and spent the first four years of my TV career as a sitcom writer ... yes.

    "We see all this stuff with the Mueller probe: 'Oh, it's so difficult to indict people! It's so hard to put government criminals behind bars!' But you've got a Treasury whistleblower and Reality Winner both imprisoned. Apparently it's not that hard."

    Yes yes, people, I'm mocking the horrible "appropriated by mainstream culture sitcom characters learning to do the hustle as a plotline" part of disco, not its funkadelicous roots. Really, THAT'S where the heat comes on that thread? I love you people.

    And there's doing the Lord's work, breaking down a Trump speech. I missed this one. Apparently my standard declaration "The President is ill" was SUPER-relevant this time.

    And FWIW this is one of the most important pieces of popular writing in the last few years. Internalize it. Love it. Put it on your crazy conspiracy/murder board.

    15/ And if the cultural shift is “Greed is *not* good. We gotta take care of each other” or “rebellion isn’t secret drinking and naughty-giggle sex but actually giving a shit about other people’s dignity” … I’m okay with that.

    14/ I'm not saying “Burn the old, only the new is good!” That’s how you get the French Revolution and fucking disco. But I think this one of the first times in the country’s short (and it is *short*) history we’ve had a serious cultural shift without a war in the middle of it.

    13/ If you were okay with Paul Ryan’s Potemkin village brain, Donald Trump’s fake billionaire bluster, Bush’s fake cowboy brush-clearing, Jerry Falwell Jr’s fake Christianity, if that’s *legitimacy* to you — congratulations, you rode it ’til it broke. But you *broke it*.

    12/ Cue Ben Shapiro’s “how DARE she not debate me, she has to, why else did Daddy pay for my fancy degrees if I can’t use them to prove I’m better?” I mean holy shit what kind of world do we live in if we live in a world where HARVARD. DOESN’T. MATTER?

    11/ This is going to make people very panicky and angry, regardless of age, if they bought into the structure. It’s *personally hurtful* to fuck with someone’s self-image.
