obviously stupid from its premise and designed to rage bait and yet: robert plunket, charles portis, halle butler, percival everett, pynchon, etc. I say this as someone who grew up in london, there is nothing more sacred to english people than breathing in their own importance

laundromat TV is so cool. just saw five minutes of TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle and heard a very East London author say “first step was I spunked a bunch of ideas into a notes app” which I’m sure only aired bc no one on staff knew what that means

your reminder that we are in show week and that we are very proud of the show! it’s fun, it’s funny and has at least joke about the 1995 comedy-drama Boys on the Side. Be there!

hello! my sketch team, Young Douglas, has written a play called Let’s Rob Drew Barrymore’s House and it’s going up at the New York Theatre Festival! we are very proud of it, and you can see it this Tuesday @ 6:15, Friday @ 4 and Saturday @ 9! youtu.be/1G7tq36cL8Q?si=13Kv…

It was also my birthday and I got engaged to the love of my life

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
