Hollywood stars sign open letter protesting the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger The signers warned that the blockbuster corporate union would shrink competition "at a moment when our industries—and the audiences we serve—can least afford it."

I couldn't sign this letter fast enough.

So, this is what it’s like when evangelical Christians run the federal government. Noted.

Guys, stop worrying. It’s one of those different kinds of cease-fires, the ones where people keep shooting.

That’s how much I want you to come out this Saturday and be a part of the largest single day protest in American history.

Visit Nokings.org to find an event near you.

Join me at the next No Kings Day

Remember, No Kings 3 is this Saturday – and all the early numbers say this is going to be the largest single-day protest in American history.

Find a location near you at nokings.org and let's show these smooth-brained fascists what this country is really about.

"No one was introspective 400 years ago."

Sure, every Philosophy 101 class starts around the year 1600.

“CEO said a thing!”

Not sure the exact statue but the quote is “prosecutors presenting the case sought to persuade the grand jurors that the lawmakers had violated a statute that forbids interfering with the loyalty, morale or discipline of the U.S. armed forces, according to one of the people familiar with the matter”

The world’s greatest detectives (Cumberbatch as Sherlock, Craig as Benoit Blanc and a hideous CGI version of Angela Lansbury) team up to solve a series of riddles to find “the answer.” In the 3rd ad, the answer is revealed to be Jesus Christ and the sponsor is the enigmatic "The Submit Initiative".

Open AI scores with a parody of “2001: A Space Odyssey” where HAL does open the pod bay doors and then writes a script for Dave Bowman so he can send a loving message home to his wife and kids. His work done for the day, Dave happily goes back to jogging on his hamster wheel of a spaceship.
